“Bristol Contra Dance is a communal-style folk dance very similar to a Ceilidh. Contra originated in the USA. A caller leads the dancers through a series of figures that are explained before each dance starts. No partner or experience is necessary. We have an inclusive vibe, welcoming dancers of all ages. All calling is gender free.”

“After thorough discussions with the artists and venues, Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler’s upcoming Bristol show will no longer be taking place on Friday. Given the developing situation, our priority will always be the wellbeing and safety of our artists and audiences. We therefore thank you for your patience and understanding during these times.”

“Essex born folk songwriter ‘Beans on Toast’ is an extremely unique performer. Twisting an age-old genre with a D.I.Y. approach and contemporary concerns has earned him the title of a cult figure who tells it like it is. A festival favourite (he’s played Glastonbury every year since 2007) and a prolific writer and performer.”

“Vilk Collective is creative duo Roxana and Peter Vilk, both musicians and award-winning filmmakers. They grew up listening to music from Iranian folk songs, Persian funk, Czech jazz and punk, and this magpie eclecticism informs their music today, borrowing from dub and hip hop as much as from Cuba and North Africa, interlacing stunning vocals with complex beats, “a cosmopolitan workout for mind and feet!” (***** The Scotsman).At the heart of their artistic approach is collaboration and tonight they’ll be playing new material and showing new films as well as talking about their creative process.”
