Over the last 6 weeks Music in the City have provided the live entertainment for the Christmas lights switch on, with 5 acts performing on the night including a local schools choir and the Rock Choir, followed by live performances in the Moose Bar weekend lunchtimes and evenings - a further 28 performances in total, involving 67 local musicians.

A big thank you to SD Leisure and the Southampton Christmas Market for hosting us.

Musicians crave and need opportunities like this and on behalf of everyone who has played it’s a big thank you and a very Happy Christmas from us all to the team at the Southampton Christmas Market, thank you again for your support and buying local, it really is appreciated.

And our very best wishes to all of the Southampton musicians who make up our wonderful music scene here in our fine City… here’s to 2026, long live the live music.
