What's On Saturday 27th February in Bristol

Events on Saturday 27th February

“The cast of a once-popular but long since cancelled television space-drama series today eek out a living on the convention circuit, squabbling amongst themselves and cursing the show that made them famous. When Commander Peter Quincy Taggart, AKA Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) meets what he thinks are particularly convincing cosplayers, the cast/crew of the NSEA Protector become engaged in their biggest ever job.”

“There's a little bit of Gypsy, a smattering of reggae, a soup on of ska and a liberal helping of sassy folk assurance in the Euphony sound, but what do you expect? They're from Brighton where'anything goes' according to them and they're obviously up for it, whatever.”

“A 10 piece tropical tag-team all the way from sheffield, Mango Rescue Team take infleunces such as Calypso, Flamenco, Samba and Central African rumba and fuse them with 60s rock and funk. The result is one hell of an upbeat carnival style strong with the horns and percussion! Throwing some tastey lookin' parties of their own up north, they certainly are connoiseurs of the tropical soiree and we look forward to having them and their vibes down here.”

“Bristol's own 9-piece collective Malika Roots blend a unique fusion reminiscent of soul, dub and reggae. Supporting acts such as Laid Blak and Chainska Brassika they have used heavy grooves right from the onset, amongst a backdrop of moody soul, to encompass intoxicated distant memories. Following the release of their new music video and in the run up to the debut EP, Malika Roots are coming together with influences of jazz, funk, reggae and soul to weave an energetic kaleidoscope of sounds, displaying a unique and mesmerising live performance.”

“Formed more than 27 years ago, On The Edge started life as a group of rugby- playing mates who also loved music. Since then, the band has seen several changes of personnel, but has played all over Europe and the UK, with a mix of classic Motown and rock. They remain the ultimate good-time party band.”
