“We have all seen the sad news about the closure of The World Famous Blue Mountain Club, and the potential for the sale of lakota">Lakota. Stokes Croft has seen many changes over the last decade. Along with increasing demands from Police and the council, drastically increasing budget, and reducing our ability to deliver the event you want, and deserve, this is now affecting the potential future of Bristol’s landmark club event.”
From: Rave on Avon 2019 : The End of an Era

“BLACK* artists on the move - as part of our Eclectic Clusters programme - are delighted to invite you to an evening of joyful journeying in the company of the electrifying Ballet Nimba. Join us as we enter into deep caverns exploring the origins and deep meanings of the dances, rhythms, music of Guinea, Conakry and other neighbouring West African countries. Not an evening for sitting around watching but one that will draw you in and awaken the dancer within.”
From: Intimate Knowledge

“Formed in1989, they perform new shows worldwide and remain one of the most unique, provocative and genre-defying bands of all time, winning an Olivier award for their hit West End musical Shockheaded Peter.”
From: The Tiger Lillies

“Rather than sitting at home and being sad for missing out a night of entertainment, come along and take part in a party of our own. We've got a fantastic line up and from midnight, we’ll open up the floor for you to go crazy on the karaoke mic with your favourite songs. We can’t wait to see you there.”
From: EuroVision of a Free Palestine

“Nu Wave / Old Market is a brand new night celebrating the art of burlesque, inviting performers to come and get weird! Join the queen of the creeple Mx Dis Charge for a show where the only thing you can expected is the unexpected!”
