OUR Big Gig is taking place across the country with an aim to bring the community together in a celebration of music this weekend.

Celebrating local musical talents and getting more people involved in music making, Hampshire is having a number of exciting events.

More than 80 musical acts will take part in Romsey’s Beggars Fair.

At Wildern School’s d@rt centre tomorrow, music lovers can enjoy performances from The Cadettes, The Gun Show, Sub Zero and Beatles Choral Day Choir. There will also be participation workshops including rock band workshops and beginner ukulele sessions.

Also joining in is The Church Hall in Southampton. Tonight will see a flute extravaganza. Flautissimo, the Southampton Flute Orchestra will be putting on a performance as will Piccolissimo, an offshoot of Flautissimo for less advanced flute players. Everyone is invited to bring their own flute and chat to teachers or even join in on the performances.
