The Bristol Festival

Wednesday, 10 October 2007

Aiming to provide for Bristol the event that Ashton Court Festival no longer can. Crucial stuff as long as it stays out of the hands of various sponsors, fundraisers, blurgs and others who have no genuine interest in a thriving local music scene beyond hijacking. We wish the Bristol Festival all success and hope to be there in 2008!

Bristol Live

Ashton Court Festival

Monday, 27 November 2006

Probably no longer Bristol's 'best kept secret', Ashton Court takes place mid-July with multiple stages and marquees and an outing for all the creativity in Bristol. Contributing to the life of the city for many years, it remains to be seen whether the commercial sponsorship and higher profile will make or break the event.

Monday, 20 November 2006

Venn Festival

Monday, 27 November 2006

A multi-faceted, multi-event, multi-venue music festival over a long weekend in June. A big experiment that left many exhilarated, some confused and others fleeing back to the conservative norm. All festivals will of course become like this… Roll on June 2008.
