MUSIC

Winchester is a small city, what does that mean for the music scene? A few things really, making the Railway Inn your local haunt is a great way to see the acts of the future before they break out. It also means you have the chance to see some of the most legendary acts in the history of music, if you’re willing to settle for the tribute acts.

There’s something authentic about the acts you can see in Winchester, these are the people that are doing it for the love of doing it rather than contractual obligations. You may not recognise the names all the time but it’s always worth giving someone new a shot, it’s part of what University is about.

Part of the reason the music scene is so unique in Winchester is that we are so close to Southampton, which means that the big touring acts are just a short journey away. And for the mega acts? Well, the O2 arena is just over an hour away by train.
