From: TRUEFEST

“Rather than a traditional festival where punters turn up and spectate, at Come Bye everyone is encouraged to be a participant and contribute in any way big or small. The festival is built on contributions and each year is unique as the program depends on you the attendees and what you contribute. It is by no means compulsory but everyone is invited to contribute, everyone is invited to collaborate and everyone is invited to play.”

“Having freshly graduated from their tenancy as the Parents Basement House Team, Waiting for Becky are leading purveyors in American Longform style giggles. Monoscenes! Armandos! Waiting for Becky will consistently provide at least one of those. But which? They decide. Probably both. Coached by local good boy John T McInnes MEng”

“Armed with their flowers, limbo sticks and sunshine grooves, Bristol’s notorious Tropical Tea Party are coming to give our roof terrace their lavish tropical makeover and throw one epic summer party! With some of the best selectors around showcasing the finest reggae, afro, latin, world music, global beats and jungle.... complete with special guest musicians, this is not one to miss! So come along… and FEEL WELL TROPICAL!!”
From: Tropical Tea Party's Roof Terrace Party at Colston

“Bristol's Robi Mitch has been dragging his sorry ass around micro-festivals and toilet venues this summer, honing a distinctly scruffy, downbeat set of indie rock songs influenced by 70s psychedelia and Middle Eastern funk. Wtf? This summer he resumes his residency at the legendary Laundrette along with his miscreant house band.”
