BFF (Bristol Festival Fundraiser) Sessions and BFF Unsigned are fundraisers for the Bristol Festival, a new community event celebrating the city's music, performing arts and local culture. Managed by a group of volunteers, the project has been launched following the sad news concerning the late Bristol Community Festival (Ashton Court). The event is being planned for 2008, and will feature a whole host of fantastic new ventures, depending on how much we raise beforehand. All proceeds go towards the festival, with all acts playing for free. So please, come down, show your support, keep the party alive!
