Bristol's best bands also work their balls off, missioning around the city playing multiple new years eve gigs. Unlikely buildings and pubs become one-off venues - booking bands, selling tickets (typically around £10) and welcoming ridiculously late licenses.
Refreshingly it's these pubs that can provide some of the best live music and intimate atmospheres to be found in Bristol on NYE 2015. This is the most complete run down of whats on in Bristol on the 31st December 2015 this side of the Bristol suspension bridge.

BRISTOL'S INTIMATE NYE PARTIES
I'm always blown away by the scale of the lineups curated by Bristol's promoters over new years. Laurels are not rested upon and all the stops are pulled out. Motion's consistently immense new year's day line-ups are, without douby, some of the best this city has ever seen. But for many people, the ideal NYE in Bristol is a small party with a handful of their closest friends. Bristol promoters are well aware that small can also be beautiful, so we've listed 5 of the smallest NYE parties in Bristol below:

Event extracts:
You have been invited to a hidden rooftop NYE party in the heart of Bristols Old City. This years Blind Tiger party will be taking inspiration from Studio 54, one of the best-known nightclubs in the world, formative for its role in the growth of disco music. Come and celebrate the arrival of 2022 in the true Blind Tiger fashion! This years party will feature Live DJs, Cocktails, Canapés and the Blind Tiger Casino will be returning bigger and better than before.
Studio 54, the Manhattan club revered by every 70s socialite worth their salt, was a treasure trove of luscious lamé and glitzy get-ups. This NYE we’ll be turning the Mr Wolfs Rooftop into the glitz and glamour of New York's most famous club. First opening its doors in April of 1977, it had one rule: “Anyone who was allowed in was totally free inside.” While there was no prescribed dress code to attend the club, more was always more!
20:00 - 02:00 // Asian Hawk will be ringing in this New Year with the finest selection of Disco, Funk, Motown & Soul. He’ll be taking you through a variety of ages and genres as 2022 rolls round and the clock strikes Midnight! For those who simply can’t get the boogie out of their woogie we have a 2am curfew and plan to use it! Whether it's a final old fashioned by the fire or busting that final groove, we’ll be there until the fat lady sings...
