Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Sunday 27th September

“"The best musical discovery of the year...Stunningly powerful vocal harmony in the tradition of the Watersons, The Voice Squad, and Coope, Boyes, and Simpson, Windborne sets a new bar for folk harmony singing today" Brian O'Donovan, National Public Radio”
From: Windborne Singers, Workshop + Concert

“From hare-brained idea to back-to-back sell-out shows and crowd-favourite appearances across the UK festival circuit, our first two years in action have been a wild ride. Troubled by the new pressures on mental health that we all face in the world today, we set out to create a daring alternative to mainstream entertainment which put the full spectrum of Bristol’s creativity centre stage. What started as an open mic night in the basement of a decommissioned police station has quickly become an exceptional institution of laughter respected nationwide.  ”
From: RIOT ACT: The Birthday Bash with Sara Pascoe & Arthur Smith

“Today, as the Atlantic alliance struggles to hold itself together, The Fall of the West exposes how a generation of Western elites bent on power and self-enrichment at any cost fatally overreached itself, and argues that, if we are to find the solutions to our age of crisis, we must first understand the real reasons for how the West lost it.”
From: The Fall of the West launch - Owen Jones in conversation with Carla Denyer

“They will give a broad overview of Heathenry (aka Northern tradition paganism), including the key Gods and cosmology, Runes, Seidr, what is involved in modern Heathen practice today. If it has sparked your interest they will also provide lots of information on Heathen resources across the UK, and on more of their upcoming events. They are an inclusive group who reject discrimination on the basis of race, religious path, background, gender, or disabilities.”
From: Magick Innit Presents: Modern Heathenry
