Gigs In Bristol Today

Events on Wednesday 11th November

“Dark Academia is everywhere right now – in books, film, TV, fashion and home decor. Think autumn, sepia tones, and old universities full of secrets. This talk introduces you to the history of Dark Academia, and looks at why it appeals so strongly to audiences today.”
From: The History of Gothic Fiction & Dark Academia - Talks in the Pub

“Like today, the 1930s was a decade of capitalist crisis and social polarisation. Facsist and far right movements grew - but there was also momentous resistance by the left on the streets of Paris, Vienna and above all, in the Spanish revolution.”
From: BOOK LAUNCH Revolution and Counter-Revolution in the Spanish Civil War

“Previous winners of BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for ‘Best Original Track’ and nominees for ‘Best Band’, with their uniquely blended sound of fiddles, voices, feet, banjos, guitar, synths and the powerful bass drones of the medieval tambourin à cordes, The Rheingans Sisters are one of the most visionary acts on the British folk scene today.”
From: The Rheingans Sisters
