About Music in Bristol
Bristol boasts a plethora of musical talent, from award-winning film composer Dan Jones and violinist Jane Harbour, eighties sensation turned record producer Nik Kershaw, to musicians from Kasabian, Goldfrapp, Placebo, Suede and Portishead. Massive Attack were formed in Bristol and singer-songwriter-drummer-model Florrie hails from this part of the country too.
Home to music venues, big and small – from the grand St George’s to the more intimate new-music-barometer that is The Louisiana – Bristol also hosts a range of music festivals. These are just a few: The International Jazz and Blues Festival provides free and ticketed performances and jam sessions at a range of venues in March. Love Saves The Day combines Bristol’s music underground with pioneers from around the world, hosting 23,000 party-goers at Eastville Park. Since 1968, the iconic, community-organised event, St Paul’s Carnival has celebrated African-Caribbean culture, and the diverse, vibrant, and creative city that it calls home. Alongside Manchester and Nottingham, Bristol also plays host to one of the UK’s Dot to Dot Festivals over the second May Bank Holiday.
Committed to developing new music talent, Bristol has several music schools, including the South West Music School, Bristol Music School, Bristol University’s prestigious Department of Music, and Europe’s largest and leading music college, the British & Irish Modern Music Institute, BIMM Bristol.
