Bristol! We arrived and were picked up by Roland who would be putting us up. Roland and Ruthie have an incredible house filled with musical instruments, Edward Lear illustrations and many many books. They treated us to a lunch of mushroom soup and then fish and chips for tea. We went for a walk around Bristol, visiting the suspension bridge as well as walking around the city centre. Our gig was at a venue called The Ill Repute a music venue/bar, similar to Hereford. After arriving we quickly realised that there was no sound technician, so Pavel had to do everything. We were playing with El Knight who had a great set and a great voice. Our set was a bit livelier than usual as we had to cut through the sounds emitted by Friday night party goers who had come to the bar more so to enjoy the ambience than to listen to a concert. Overall it was a fun show to play and meeting Roland and Ruthie, as well as David who had put us in touch with them was a highlight of our stay. So thanks to them and time for us to take two days off in Nottingham.
