This February, come and have a dance for a good cause Aid Box Community and Bristol Hospitality Network are teaming up to bring you The Big Fish Bash — a joyful fundraising gig in support of asylum seekers and displaced people in Bristol, happening at the ECF Centre (BS5 0SQ) on Saturday 21st February. Expect smooth, feel-good tunes, excellent vibes, and a room full of lovely humans. There’ll be plenty of chances to dance, delicious samosas to keep you fuelled, a bar serving alcoholic and soft drinks, and a raffle stacked with brilliant prizes. Come for the music, stay for the snacks, leave knowing you’ve contributed to something important. THE LINE UP We are excited to be joined by talented musicians from Kettle of Fish and Deems Experiment.

Expect laughs, gasps of amazement and maybe the odd quizzical raising of the eyebrow, when KoF take to the stage with their eclectic mix of the weird and wonderful. Deems Experiment (https://www.instagram.com/deems.experiment/) is a group of Bristol-based composers and instrumentalists whose style blends elements of jazz, classical music, hip hop, and math rock. For this night, the crowd will be graced with a duo composed of lead keyboardist Aondoyima ‘Deems’ Ioratim-Uba and bassist and drummer Munashe 'Kaps' Kapswarah (https://www.instagram.com/kaps.drumz/ from Grace Mack & The Pack, to take us through a journey of soulful melodies and smooth, mesmerising sounds.
