Paul aka Bik, of Bunker178 (formerly The Art House) has been working tirelessly in the Southampton music scene for over 20 years, putting on events, supporting performers and encouraging musicians. He’s a quiet fellow who often hides behind the sound desk or keyboard, so his contribution may be overlooked – but the performers onstage would not be there without his work! He spends hours every week planning and booking gigs, helping musicians put together bios, promoting not only his own gigs but ones at other venues. He’s also a musician himself! His passion for performing arts in general and music in particular is wonderful and he shares this energy with others selflessly. I can’t count the amount of time, money and effort this man has given Southampton’s local scene – he is an absolute legend.
