Who will you be going to watch/listen to at the weekend?
Mostly Fringe stuff actually – we have so much great music in Bristol, the quality’s far above what you might usually ascribe to “local bands”. My picks are: Ghost Of The Avalanche at The Stag And Hounds, Jemima Surrender at The Fleece, Thought Forms at The Exchange and Alannah Jackson at The Bristol Fringe Cafe Bar. As for touring bands, I’m gutted to be missing Suede but they’re playing when I’m on stage…(I’m headlining the second stage at The Louisiana on Saturday). I’m also excited to see Julia Holter, Savages, Guy Garvey, Blossoms, Kurt Vile and Beirut on the bill, there’s so much to choose from!
