Bristol's Venn festival, now in its fourth year, has an amazing lineup of experimental music between May 31st and June 3rd. "Venn 07's many musical colours include nervous pop, bicycle noise, industrial jungle, world-wise folk and neon-lit house - yet through the Venn kaleidoscope no sound stays still: everything can be something else."

The idea is appealing, good to know that Bristol Uncovered is uncovering us, and to hear an interview with Rasha on the radio is totally satisfying - Fine Tuned, BBC Radio Bristol, 28th April 2007. A short trawl of the vast BBC website's online audio offerings seems pretty fruitful - far more than we had imagined. Two local music shows that you might find reasonably reasonable, as you may have guessed actual opinions vary here at bristolgigs.com.

Our favorite world music promoters in Bristol, Cactus Jazz seem to have moved up several notches if their next three gigs at Fiddlers are anything to go by. Tinariwen on May 3rd has been sold out for some time, and Lura on 19th May and Culture on 29th June may well go the same way. What kind of Cactus are they on? These are the World Music supergroups who you'd expect to find playing at Colston Hall or larger venues. Indeed, riding on their current wave of popularity Tinariwen may well have sold out at Colston Hall, although both band and ticket holders will surely enjoy the better sound and roots atmosphere of Fiddlers a whole lot more. |

 Here we have a contender for the "Glowing Review Of The Year" award! Writing in The Independent on 29th April 2007, Phil Johnson reviews the Andy Hague Quintet's gig at Jazzland, Swansea, and piles on the praise for each member. Fortunately we see them often in Bristol and know that this praise is not unwarranted. The Quintent are currently touring with dates around the country in May.
