GUZZLERS - Self described as "Fish that will one day return to the sea" The Guzzlers build relentless hard driven riffs that shake the gullet. Irresistible to rock out to. An absolute must see.
CHICOS - Underground duo, fronted by Myer U Clark, push the boundaries of their own inner workings in a hypnotic display of musical satire. Expect radical lyricism and homemade beats.
ROB MASON BLUES BAND - Spawned from the dark depths of the Tuesday night jam, Fred Howard leads the charge with his outrageous PYSCH BLUES Band, expect a performance and show from this hard driven all star cast of Local Bristol musicians.
BLUFIN - Regulars to the Community Jam Collective, Joe New, Ben Cheal, Tommy Glover & Lewis have formed a progressive Blues and Neo Soul, Jazz based Quintet with flexible front singers Noa and Scoob leading the performance of an explosive modernisation of hit classics!

GREAT HALL:
LIVE ELECTRONICA JAM - OPEN LIVE ELECTRONIC JAM! EXPECT SYNTHS THEREMIN AND OTHER INTERACTIVE ELECTRONIC GEAR!
PABLO - Pablo Jiménez-Moreno | playing stuff of his Debut album Stillness in which Movement takes place. A dematerialization of minimalism—Pablo bends soundscapes into architectural forms, built on a single note that evolves into layers, distortions, and ghostly echoes. Are you hearing the sound, or imagining it? Modular synths, analogue manipulation, and sound art stretch the very concept of stillness until it fractures.
REDH3RRING - Live electronica extraordinaire, Joseff Daley, utilises an array of didgital interfaces and musical instruments to create a visual and immersive hip hop and dance music induced experience. There will be textural movement and soundscapes that fold into a crescendo of sound.
DJ KNOWER - A.K.A Thom Clegg, Co-founder of All Hands On Deck, explores textural space utilising field recordings and subtly implementing the use of modular synthesis and mixes of his own songs. Witness and experience the creation of Thom's Sonic World.
