ElectricFox-Moonwatcher-Invisible Gem- The King Arthur
A night of high octane soul powered rock and gypsy fuelled folk swing. They haven't played in town for over a year!!
Electric Fox are a 4-piece from Glastonbury/Bristol, stepping out and burning bright, Electric Fox are a rock band with fierce tunes and a whole lot of soul.
With their hearts worn proudly, these young men invoke an irresistible and vital world of hope,rising through feral and keen melody and rhythm that drives on a knife edge.
From moments of brooding tenderness the music ascends and writhes in an explosion of electric guitar, howling and twisting to uncompromising beats, so full to the brim with movement and feeling that it spills out into the audience, leaving them bouncing off the walls, their feet and hearts pounding. 
Lyrical loving infused with a sense of humanity reverberates with a passion and sincerity that looks you in the eye. This is a band that sing their truth. And as the music takes on a life force of its own, Electric Fox want just one thing: to capture your heart and take you for the ride.

Moonwatcher are a three-piece indie-punk band from Somerset, consisting of Arthur Bachini, Flo Parker Bombosch, and Reece Crossley.

Best of Bristol: New Years Eve 2017- Hy-Brasil Music Club- Bristol
Some of the best of Bristol together for one hell of party this New Years Eve at Hy-Brasil Music Club! Each company involved have brought forward their favourite artist that will perform at the event - expect live music, DJs, one hell of an MC, prizes and more throughout the evening.
Elder Island (DJ Set) After a stonking debut at Lost Village Festival this summer, Elder Island bring their DJ set to Bristol for the first time. Join them for a boogie to some of the music that they love, alongside some dancefloor reworks from other major artists; plus a rare opportunity to hear some exclusive DJ edits of their own work.

The Gnarwhals Bristol's party starters return! Formed in San Diego in '79 this loveable skate-rock power trio has stormed the billboard chart time and time again with albums "Till Death Do Us Party", "The Robot House (Is Mega Sweet For Mega Party Boarding)" and more recently "Fuck Cameron".

Harvey Causon Calm and understated, Bristol’s Harvey Causon is not looking to blow you away with a wall of sound. You’ll be blown away instead by his soft, glitching electronica, deft take on contemporary R&B, and reeled by his rich vocals, that sound far more world wearied than his 19 years. 
With nods to other contemporary producers Jamie Isaac and James Blake, Harvey’s sound is pop at heart; but his clever, minimal production, rich, heart stopping vocal and dulcet guitar tones set him apart.

No Violet Bristol-based 4 piece, No Violet, powerfully retain your attention with their enthralling performances of their idiosyncratic blend of fuzz-infused grunge/alt rock and semi-contorted math rock. Ellie (vox), Pete (drums), Rhys (guitar), and Kerry (bass) captivate their audience through a manipulating dynamic range that echoes early Pixies with an added split personality disorder. Having just released their 2nd single, ‘America’ in October 2017, they have featured regularly on BBC Intro radioplay and are moving into and even fuzzier 2018 with the release of their debut EP.

Rozelle bridge the gap between experimental electronic music and chart pop.
The group was brought together by songwriter and front woman Hayley Smith, who began writing short stories and poetry throughout her childhood. Fascinated by evolution, art and social complexity, her writing style speaks about life’s curiosities and what she sees.
Their live shows take you on a memorable journey, leading you through dreamy soundscapes with punchy upbeat dance rhythms. Rozelle create a sound that you can’t quite put your finger on.
They bring back a 90’s nostalgia, with a mix of electro sound bites and gritty guitars, but deliver an air of Wolf Alice with hints of Florence and the Machine, bringing a current yet entrancing vibe, which sits perfectly on festival stages

Wavey Wish UK Rapper from Bristol who grew up in the cultural and creative streets of st pauls. This has inspired Wish to carefully perfect his craft to become the poet/wordsmith he is today. Expect broad vocabulary of real rap from the Official Recordings artist

YOUTH are a four-piece alternative/rock band based in Bristol. Starting in 2013, they have slowly made a name for themselves within the local music scene and surrounding areas. 
They gather influences from various different genres of music and have frequently met with people unable to quite put a finger on their sound. 
Mixing intricate and emotive beauty with overdriven, reverb drenched noise, backed up by punchy and attacking drum sections.

New Year's Eve Party with The Leylines Winter Gardens Pavilion, Weston-super-Mare
The Leylines West-country collective established in 2013, with a genre-defying, eclectic sound that ranges from traditional folk to full blown festival rock. The Leylines are: Dan Thompson (electric guitar); Dave Burbidge (drums); Hannah Johns (violin); Matthew Wilkins (acoustic guitar); Sean Booth (bass); and Steve Mitchell (vocals/guitar).
The Leylines was founded by a group of musicians in Weston-super-Mare (via Bristol), wishing to combine their individual musical styles into something that isn’t quite folk, sort of punk, 100% heart-pounding revelry. This unique sound, combined with frontman Steve Mitchell’s lyrics centred around life on the road and the state of society, has launched the band into the heart of the live music community and made them firm favourites of the festival circuit.
The band released their debut album, ‘Along The Old Straight Track’ in June 2016, produced by Sean Lakeman, recorded at The Metway studios in Brighton and mixed by Al Scott. With this team on board, inevitably the record has drawn strong comparison to the likes of The Levellers, Mad Dog Mcrea and Ferocious Dog, whilst remaining an album by a band which have forged their own sound and identity.
With a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fan base, The Leylines guarantee to have their audiences up on their feet – and they will be having as much fun as their audience while they’re doing it!
