A fab nighht of live music at the Wedge, courtesy of Pompey's own Fake Empire and a hand-picked selection of local support bands, all for less than the cost of two beers.

With a curated line-up, and acts split between the main stage and the smaller Edge space, the evening had a familiar festival vibe (reminiscent of Dials and the much missed SputhseaFest, both of which took advantage of the Wedge's two room set up, and the upcoming Night Currents)

A great way both to showcase local talent and entertain music lovers on a wet Saturday night, all in Southsea's excellent Wedgewood Rooms. Lovely.

#Portsmouth's Albert Road will be alive with the sound of #newmusic tomorrow as the annual #Icebreaker #Festival wakens from its slumber.

This multi-venue #festival for new #music has been around for several years now, with a number of local acts appearing over the years.

Personally speaking I'm looking forward to seeing the excellent #FakeEmpire and #Winchester's #TemplesOfYouth again, but there's plenty of undiscovered #favouritenewbands to find.
