A Month to Go

An update for Bristol Festival of Literature

Sep 17 2015

Hi All

So, it's just under a month until the Festival and we’re all dashing around doing the last minute organising, preparing the publicity and confirming details with everyone.

We’ve sourced our tote bags for the goody bags and are collecting lots of lovely things to go in them.

We’ve made some decisions about out Bristol Festival of Literature T Shirts and we’ll email those who’ve pledged for one of these separately to get your size.

Most people who pledged for tickets have now come back and made their requests. Rather than posting them out, we’re adding names to guest lists so if you’ve told us what you want to go to we’ve added you to the guest list with that event organiser.

Those of your who have pledged for all access passes and VIP tickets are on every list so just come along to the events you fancy and give your name at the door.

The leaflets have come back from the printers so look out for these appearing all over the city as we all take stacks of them out and about with us and spread them around.

We’ve created Facebook pages too for all the events, comment, like, read updates and get involved:

An update for 'Sound of a City' - a documentary about live music in Bristol

Sep 14 2015

Hi all,

It's been a long time since we emailed - for that we can only apologise! It was a manic August but a productive one. We've been out shooting the city of Bristol from cars, bridges and pavements as well as interviewing some really interesting individuals. We had a great talk with Massive Attack's hugely amicable Neil Davidge, as well as record label owner Mike Darby and author Richard King (whose music knowledge was fairly humbling).

After talking to so many people now the film has evolved into more of a chronological history of Bristol music. The film will be bookended with the relatively unknown but hugely influential The Pop Group (look them up if you don't know them), who in the late 70s were a perfect example of Bristol's fusion of sounds. Their first album is a raucaus project filled with sounds of jazz, reggae and punk and influenced many artists from Nick Cave to Massive Attack.

From The Pop Group we will explore the post-punk scene, the jazz scene, soundsystem culture and landmark sounds up to the modern day. It sounds quite ambitious but this way we think it will be a nice way of exploring how different sounds and scenes evolve and influence each other, eventually moulding what we hear today.

Our main task now will be to collect a mountain of archive footage to put with the interviews. This will be the biggest challenge...

We'll let you know how that goes (it won't be so long this time promise).

An update for Calais Refugee Solidarity Bristol

Sep 9 2015

So the past week has been CRAZY! Lots of press interest about the support for the Calais Refugees from Bristol and the rest of the UK.

We still need donations via the crowdfunding project, so if all 277 supporters could please take a little time to write a short, direct email to your address book and send them this link -

https://www.fundsurfer.com/project/calais-refugee-support-group-bristol - asking them to donate and share with their friends and family. It really helps and email is a lot more effective than social media although it's great to keep sharing on facebook and twitter of course! THANK YOU ALL.
