Venue: BRISTOL BEACON Date: Jun 4, 2026 Five albums in, and somehow I’ve never managed to see Aldous Harding live. But after hearing her new album’s first single One Stop I finally committed, headed to the Beacon and joined a devoted crowd. It was all Kiwi‑no filler from the start, with fellow New Zealanders and…

Venue: STRANGE BREW Date: Jun 24, 2024 I was excited for my first full Fenne Lily show, perhaps a little odd as a fan of her work since the release of debut album On Hold way back in 2018. Strange Brew is filled with smoke as I arrive – possibly too much as the smoke…

Venue: LONG ASHTON COMMUNITY CENTRE Date: Jun 4, 2024 I don’t normally spend my Saturday night in Long Ashton but I made an exception for the delightful ten-piece Bristol legends that are Doreen Doreen. This wasn’t my first rodeo having seen them at Glastonbury and at Bristol’s fabulous Valley Fest (which I’d recommend to anyone…

Venue: SWX Date: Jun 3, 2024 Tonight felt like a huge night for music in Bristol, with both St Vincent and local artist Katy J Pearson playing in two venues within 100 metres of each other. The evening began with a sunny couple of drinks as I walked in to a choir singing right in…

With thousands of people inside Bristol’s Amphitheatre, Mika jumped from the stage and into the crowd while singing his biggest…

⚠️ Venue: not auto-detected – needs manual entry Date: 2022-06-28T16:23:44.000Z ⚠️ Artist: not auto-detected – needs review Another superb sunny scene at Bristol Sounds in the Harbourside evening (Monday, June 27). The support came tonight from Soccer Mommy (Sophie Allison). Don’t call her Soccer, it isn’t her name! She played a stripped-back set with just…
