Joiners exceeds fundraising target
Southampton music venue The Joiners has exceeded its fundraising target, just days after launching an appeal for essential repair work.
The 100-year-old building in St Mary's street needs "critical repairs" which the venue said threatened its future survival.
Its online appeal has reached more than £8,000 after an initial appeal for £5,000 was launched earlier this week.
Artists including Coldplay, Oasis and Ed Sheeran have all played at the Joiners early in their careers.

Pay for Oxford Uni management 'grossly excessive'
The salary paid to Oxford University's vice-chancellor Louise Richardson has been critcised by the bursar of one of its oldest colleges.
In a letter to the Financial Times, bursar of New College, David Palfreyman says the university managed with the cheapest vice-chancellor in the land until about 2000 when costs began rising.
"Few in Oxford would be able to detect any improvement in our governance and management resulting from these "reforms" - or indeed any value-for-money return", he says.
A spokesperson for Oxford University says it is the "world's highest-ranked University...adding £5.8 billion to the UK economy every year" and the vice-chancellor's salary reflects this.
Louise Richardson earns £350,000 according to Oxford, not £442,000 - the figure quoted in the Financial Times by David Palfreyman.
