LOCAL songwriter Calum Lintott is headlining in Southampton on Saturday with his full band.

After recent appearances at Heartbreakers and The Loft, the indie-pop singer is coming to The Joiners to finish what he’s calling his first trilogy of home town shows.

The date is exactly a year since Calum topped the bill at The St Mary Street venue alongside rising Bolton and Sheffield stars Jordan Allen and SHEAFS.

Since then he’s played The Jack Rocks This Feeling stage at Isle of Wight festival and was a big hit at last year’s Common People where he made a last minute appearance on the main stage after rapper Nadia Rose was held up in traffic.

Earlier this month the singer, a former Performing Arts student from Itchen College, supported hotly-tipped London singer Emily Capell at The Water Rats venue in the capital.

Calum, who has been making waves recently as a solo artist, also worked at the college as part of a Performing Arts internship in 2012, where he supported the Essential Skills students and made a huge impact on their drama studies.

“This will be my last Southampton gig before taking time off to write and record lots of new material,” says Calum, who’ll be joined on stage by guitarist Laurence Henderson, bassist Tom Bennett and drummer Moritz Kriese who lives in Germany.

Southsea’s Eyes To The Skies, who supported The Sherlocks at The 1865 in September, and new Southampton band Newlove complete the line-up at The Joiners on Saturday 31 March.
