Live music
Address: Sutton Scotney, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 3NS Event: Blue Water Giants - 7.30pm - The Blue Water Giants are roaring into The Filling Station, Winchester Auto Barn's brand-new venue, and this is the show we’ll be talking about for years! Riding high above a sea of imitators, The Blue Water Giants are the real deal: a powerhouse super-band made up of the very musicians who originally helped shape the sound of classic rock and AOR across decades. Their repertoire isn’t nostalgia — it’s legacy, performed by the artists who lived it, breathed it, and made it legendary. Commanding the helm is Josh Phillips, famed organist of Procol Harum. Holding the groove is Status Quo’s John “Rhino” Edwards, with guitar firepower from Freddie Edwards and Neil Taylor—the latter known for his iconic work with Tears for Fears and Robbie Williams. Add the relentless drive of drummer Mark Brzezicki , and you’ve got a line-up built for pure, electrifying performance.
