EastPole Orchestra know how to do high energy and intensity. This well-established Bristol (UK) five-piece will treat you to a heady, exhilarating and inspiring experience that you’ll not forget. Influenced by a fierey brew of Middle Eastern and North African rhythms, Eastern European Breton and Klezmer melodies, jazz and reggae grooves, they weave their beguiling arrangements and improvisations into a magic that is all their own.

The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players with An Axe, Bar Oppo, 22nd September 2008
Decorum presents a last minute tour addition, an intimate performance from The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow players - Monday 22nd of September at Oppo (72 Park Street, Bristol). The Trachtenburgs are a domestic trio who play quirky indie vaudeville pop songs in the key of unironic good, clean fun with one major catch: all the songs carefully rhyming lyrics come from the vintage slide collections they've found at estate or garage sales that accompany their performances.
Hello guys. It was really nice to have you at the Square Festival.Thank you for your performance and once again my apologies for the Security "people". It would be great to arrange some gig in the future. My best regards for now...
Hello!!! For those of you who are around Bristol tomorrow (Fri. 27 June) or Sat. 5 July check out the following concerts. Both are promised to be a unique experience. Brilliant musicianship combined with electrifying onstage presence. This is a rare opportunity to hear some of the best World Music awarded artists (…and lovely people)! To those who cannot make it, I wish you a very nice weekend and hopefully we’ll see you in another occasion. Click on the posters for more details on the Bands.
Still open for bands!!! One of Wales’ biggest and newest events, encompassing 2 days, 4 stages, 60 bands, and the capacity for 3000 people! The festival is for charity, with proceeds going partly to help projects in the local community and partly to help young musicians in the area, with advertising, their equipment, etc. The ethos is very much that it is run like a community, so people helping each other out rather to help cut down the exchange of cash. We aim to work with ethical companies, aim to actively promote both welsh music, and environmental issues and solutions.
