“As usual, the national comedy treasures of our own time come together in Bristol to pay tribute to the legendary comedians of the past. The host for this year’s Gala Show is the incomparable impressionist and comedian, Rory Bremner.”

“New Year New Noise under harsh new harsh static. Crisp thick brick dust clogs lung and throat. Chests tighten for tired exhalation and fragments of everything cave in. Disintegration feeds the feedback loops that feed off fetid concertation. Optimisim trodden dead through sick slick force of which only a bastard would revel and all we have left is the lust to destroy it all.Brick by brick and wall by wall.”
From: New Year / New Noise

“Featuring joyful, funny and heartfelt songs about everything from cosmologist Carl Sagan to soap superstar Adam Woodyatt, the fourth album by indie-folk legend Gavin Osborn is an eclectic masterpiece.”

“Howling Owl Records is an ever-evolving outpost of music, art and reaction. Beginning with a one-off compilation tape in 2011, Howling Owl Records are at the foreground of Bristol's music scene. From releasing forward thinking music on vinyl, self-publishing papers and zines to programming a wide range of shows and exhibitions in off-kilter locations; Howling Owl are a product of the town from where they came, the city where they live, the people they work with and the music industry they work against.”

“An eclectic duo with a repertoire ranging from Sicilian and French Folk music to Gypsy Jazz and Classical, reflecting their diverse interests and backgrounds. Having studied his music straight from the source in his Sicilian homeland, Raphael brings a definite Mediterannean feel with his guitar & baritone vocals, which provide the foundations for Annalise's classical violin - expect a healthy dose of improvisation and jazzy lines to come your way!”
