The Others, The Joiners Arms, Southampton

BIG lyrics and big hair rocked The Joiners, Southampton, at The Others gig.

The four-man band played to a heaving sweating punk- loving mass of fans at the sold-out gig.

Most of the time only the top of front man Dominic's big barnet showed above the throng of the crowd as he jumped across the stage. The Joiners exploded with cheers as they played their latest single, Stan Bowles.

Fans stormed the stage and front man Dominic dived into the crowd and sang amid the frenzy.

When the band were not on stage they drank at the bar and mixed with their fans.

The Other's loyalty to their fans triumphed when Dominic demanded that a stage-diver, who had been escorted out by a security guard, was let back in.
