“The Going Goods flow with a catchiness that will have their tunes looping inside your head. Add to this an infectious feel good factor that comes with their live performances. The band have been touring extensively since the release of follow up EP, Sunshine Mantra.”

“Ex-Monk & Canatella front person Jim Johnston's second solo album'After All The Wishing' is being described as"A sprawling twisted masterpiece! " & "both weird and intoxicating, dangerously attractive and unlike anything you have heard before. " It's already gaining radio play and single'Count Your Coppers' has featured on Tom Robinson's mix tape on BBC 6 Music. Johnston is performing the album solo-acoustically through the Spring & Summer of 2015 Brace yourself for the weird and wonderful!”

“The Milli-meters authentically perform songs from New Orleans' seminal Funk pioneers The Meters. Capturing the sound and feel of those timeless records are some of Bristols finest players. Performing their Funk Classics and lesser known gems are Matt Brown (Drums), Luke Cawthra (Guitar), Tom Kuras (Bass) and Dan Moore (Keys).”
