“Experimenting with moving image and sound, visual duo kinoMANUAL creates films and objects that correspond with a rich tradition of moving image, kinetic art and experimental cinema. They have teamed up with sound duo Pin Park, who creates electronic music using only the unusual architecture and unrepeatable timbres of EMS synthesizers. Expect a wondrous exploration of colour, form, composition and texture, spanning from the tiniest details in nature through cosmic mindscapes. With Pin Park's minimalist and experimental compositions, it will be a feast for all senses.”

“Spindle Ensemble are a Bristol based contemporary chamber quartet formed in late 2016. They perform compositions by multi instrumentalist Daniel Inzani which hover cinematically between classical, jazz, world and folk idioms, influences include Maurice Ravel, Moondog, Mulatu Astatke and Charles Mingus.”

“LOCATION CHANGE! Due to an event clash, we will be holding this event at the The Bearpit Event Space for free. We've received a generous donation to pay the performers and any money we make on top of that from ticket sales or passing the bucket will go to supporting the homeless in Bristol.”

“It's AMPHETAMINE INFUSED NOISE ROCK and it's horrible. You don't have to pretend to like it though. They're having all the fun for us. This speed powered posse prefer screwdrivers to plectrums. After recently dropping the severely exalted live album 'Peeved!', Hansel Q. Boyzone, Mick Lonsdale, Alf Sequin and McChips Dickoid shall be gracing the stage of Crofters Rights for their first ever headline performance.”

“Arguably one of the most influential vocalists of a generation Sister Nancy and Legal Shot Sound System come to Bristol to get summer started. Pitchfork named her single ‘Bam Bam’ as The Best Dancehall Song of All Time, which comes as no surprise as it has been sampled, referenced and reworked by almost everyone from Kanye West to Lauryn Hill to Wiz Khalifa. Sister Nancy is the sound of summer and we are ready to dance all night long – what else is there to say.”
