Join the Headfirst mailing list for our unbiased recommendations.
A gig held at Sparks Bristol on Saturday 9th December. The event starts at 14:00.
Brought to you by Free Severn Sound, some of Bristol's finest live acts have come together, voluntarily, to offer an expansive 6 hours of back-to-back live performances, acting to raise funds for the Sparks Repair Cafe which offers free repairs to the community every Sunday. Donations towards alcohol go towards victims of the Gaza war, with the rest going back into the collective.
Get your fix of Fabio Ferri Quintet's locally renowned experimental fusions following the psychedelic folk explorations of Silky Disturbance; expect a night of truly incredible musical artists, explosive shimmerings of philanthropic wonder, chased with some set design and goats.
About BexX:

BexX takes you on a journey through personal stories of self-discovery (told with a fucking vibe), backed by a live-produced, Electro-Pop & Experimental-Pop soundscape.
BexX passionately gives you a safe space for self-expression, encouraging everyone in the crowd to interact and boldly show off their individuality.
