BEARPIT
A gig held at Bristol Beacon on Sunday 25th January. The event starts at 19:30.
BEARPIT are a high-energy trans and non-binary trio shaking up the ceilidh scene with driving tunes, big beats and a joyful dose of queer magic.
Formed at Bristol Pride 2025, they’ve quickly built a reputation for turning dance floors into full-throttle celebrations, their fiddle, guitar and accordion weaving together in a gloriously powerful sound.
With inclusive guest callers and a welcoming, community-minded atmosphere, BEARPIT create ceilidhs where everyone can jump in, dance hard and feel right at home. Perfect for Pride events, festivals and gatherings that want tradition with a fierce, modern twist.
