Bristol Music Links
Here is our selection of links to websites relevant to music and gigs in Bristol (over 550 links now!). We hope you find these useful in finding your way around Bristol's music scene, choose from the categories below. If you have a relevant link to add which you think will benefit our collection please submit it for our evaluation (must be logged in). If at all possible we prefer to link to a band's website rather than their page on Rupert Murdoch's MySpace - We want to link to your site to help you, the News International Corporation have more than enough links to their site already, and we don't like the way they work. If you need help with domain names, hosting or webdesign, we can recommend Ultrabubble - see the link below.
