SOUTHAMPTON record label Sotones takes over The Shooting Star in Bevois Valley on Sunday with a 12 hour showcase of its acts.

The Spring Social will be the third annual event and a celebration of some great local musical talent and friends from farther afield.

There will be two stages, indoor and outdoor, keeping the whole venue buzzing throughout the day.

Headlining this year is Matt Canning and Bill Acharjee's The Diamond Age (both formally of Dead, Dead, Dead and Woven Bird) the indoor stage, along with shows from local lo-fi indie rockers Beat Easton and Exeter's leading DIY punk-grunge band Young Adventurers.

The outdoor stage features five solo acts including sets from the legendary double-bass troubadour Grant Sharkey, and Israeli songstress Avital Raz. Avital combines her classical Indian training of ancient Dhrupad singing with her western singer-songwriter influences to create a wonderfully unique sound. She will also host an Introduction to Classical Music workshop at The Arthouse on Monday.

Sotones is a Southampton record label that started in 2004. The label is run as a collective by the artists themselves, so they have always had complete creative control and a more honest and close relationship with their fans. The artists support each other in all kinds of ways, be it design and artwork, promotion, production and recording or simply collaborating on their records.

Although it is based in Southampton, the label works with musicians from across the UK and Europe, and it's artists have toured all over the world.

The Spring Social gets under way at 2pm.
