Videos shot at the Big Bristol Xmas Gig at Academy in December have been posted on Youtube by freestyle. songs covered include Yoghurt and Roses by the excellent Fortune Drive, She Creatures, Medallist and The Francos. So if you missed the gig, or were there and just want to relive those seasonal musical moments, take a look at freestyle's Youtube page.

Fabric are touring and partying in support of the imminent release of their new album ’four two’. There are a string of dates in Bristol, Bath, the South West and further afield, but we particularly wanted to mention the launch party taking place at Invention Arts in Bath on Saturday 1st December. The brand new CD will be available on the night for only £5 and there’ll be some top names in support including Rich Maya, Stanton Delaplane and Rob Phillips. Entry only £3. 'four two' will be available in shops and on iTunes from 3rd Dec, or you can buy from the band on the Fabric website.

It is happening every week, we are putting it on our front page every week an there is a reason for that. Bristol needs a community festival. Come along and support your new Bristol Festival for 2008, listen to some wicked live music and get involved! This week we have The Hats Band, Gecko MC, Jake Zennaman plus Resident DJ Smiffy. There are few who get linked to myspace from here, follow the link to find out why, although common sense should have already prevailed.

So it is true, after 24 hours of a headline leading to a blank page on NME's site, no statement from Portishead but numerous links to appearing around the web, the article is there.

Get yer tickets wherever you can, you can send us your spare ticket and we will love you 'til Tuesday. A ticket to All Tomorrows Parties will get you love 'til Wednesday.
