was it any good in the end DB?

Yeah, it was ok. I was amazed at how far apart different bars were, everywhere is spread out it seems. Went to Orange Rooms i think after the gig and it was alright. Went to The Square before hand as it was quite close to Guildhall and was cheap as chips.

The gig was really good, the Killers and Bloc Party especially. Futureheads were utter crap.

I've never seem so many Subways in one town in all my life!!

A nice local threatened to 'slice my mates kneecaps off' which was a slightly weird yet amusing end to the evening.

sound about right really. personally, i think the places in southampton do catrer for the student market and if you aren't a student it's difficult to know where the hell your gonna go. there's so many places it takes a good year to suss the place out, and even then you don't know what all the places are like!

yes i think there are about 4 maybe 5 subways, which always amazes people (and me). Glad you enjoyed the gig, that's the main thing

Im basically a student without being at Uni, so the studenty cheapo places is what we were all after, but due to not being a local, and being knackered after the gig, anywhere with beer (apart from Yates's) was good in my book!  

I dont get those lit up glass circles dotted around the place though!

[Simon Pieman]

nobody does!

Does this mean as a student I won't enjoy it?

no, it just depends what you are after. if you want the cheapest drinks in town and don't care about if the place is a shithole then this aint gonna be your place. on the other hand if you don't want your feet to stick to the floor.....
