Radiohead ... Their careers could never have started without the help of
small, atmospheric venues like the Joiners, an unassuming but much-loved
backstreet pub in downtown Southampton. Richard Ashcroft cites the Joiners
as the venue of his greatest ever performance, the Manic Street Preachers
signed their record deal there and Oasis played there for £100. And every
day of the week, it stays loyal to the grass roots as it plays host to
local and up-and-coming bands.

"My whole life has been shaped by the Joiners" - Greg Gilbert, Delays
Stuffed with photos, memorabilia and contributions from all the main
players in the venue's history, ACCESS ONE STEP tells the remarkable and
sometimes moving story of an area of the music industry which has seldom
been explored.
