Bristol Music: Seven decades of sound

Подробнее о видео

Launching on 19 May 2018 at M Shed, Bristol Music: Seven decades of sound will take stories told by people all over the city to celebrate and debate Bristol music.

Is there one definitive ‘Bristol sound’?
Are the best days of Bristol music behind us?
Where in the city is the heart of musical Bristol?

Go back in time to seminal nights at The Bamboo Club, Granary, Motion and more, before climbing inside our graffiti’ed 90s hatchback for some rowdy karaoke. You may need to stop off at Ashton Court festival for a quick rest.

Flick through hundreds of records discovering new bands while listening to compilation albums from rock and pop to electronica, punk and reggae.

Reminisce about first gigs, first records and questionable fashion choices while brushing up on your Bristol music trivia. Who are the performers that got permanently banned from Colston Hall? And when did the big music stars come to the city?

With more festivals than we can count, fiercely independent venues and a rich mix of styles, genres and sound, Bristol’s reputation is one of a musical juggernaut.

Th exhibition runs from 19 May - 30 September 2018 at M Shed. Entry is pay what you think.
