Guy Calhoun
https://www.facebook.com/guycalhounmusic
Increasingly recognised as one of Bristol’s most accomplished singer-songwriters, Guy Calhoun’s rounded voice, crisp acoustic guitar and well-crafted songs reveal his clear heritage from classic British contemporary predecessors like John Martin, Nick Drake and Richard Thompson.
Guy once featured as the live guest musician on Radio 4's Loose Ends and has recorded and performed with musicians and producers from a widely diverse musical spectrum including DJ SUV, Broadway Project, Gorgon Sound, Tomorrow's Warriors, Pee Wee Ellis, Armagideon Sounds, the Easy Access Horns, James Morton and Stanton Warriors.
Founder member of the legendary Dub from Atlantis band, multi-instrumentalist and Dub producer, Guy has a unique vocal and guitar style that is influenced by a wide range of genres including Roots Reggae, Soul Jazz, Latin, Funk and Blues. Guy's music has been played by DJs from John Peel to Don Letts and Jah Shaka and on many radio stations including BBC World Service, BBC Radio 6 and BBC 1Extra.

The Golden Guild
https://www.facebook.com/thegoldenguildband/
The Golden Guild Band is a product of reggae artist and frontman Guire, following the release last year of his latest album FREEDUMB. Guire wanted to bring his music to a live audience and has a good name on the reggae scene, not just in Bristol but back in Jamaica. All of the songs are original roots reggae and dub-based tracks with a dancehall flavour.
The Bristol-based band are a six-piece of seasoned players handpicked by Guire with all members hailing from Somerset and Wales. The core members include rhythm guitarist Tom Hughes, lead guitarist Mikey Martelette, bass guitar Daron Darroux, keyboards Steve Young, drums Alex Macintosh and Guire on vocals. The band members come from a variety of musical influences, but all have a passion for reggae and such diverse backgrounds blend for a unique style and sound. They have strong ties with many of the best reggae acts in the South West, including Da Fuchaman and His Fireblaze Band.
The Golden Guild recently recorded a video with Woodbox Productions due to be officially released this month. The band have a few gigs under their belts and are set to break the Bristol reggae scene this year.
The Jimi Can Band
https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=jimi%20can
Jimi Can is a consummate showman, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer who makes music for the world and cuts loose with a cool groove and irresistibly warm performance that will move your feet and fire your creative imagination.
Jimi’s sound is an amalgam of influences, and when he writes everything goes in the pot; folk music from his native Cantabria in Northern Spain, Andalusian flamenco and South American songs, West African & Caribbean rhythms & modes, pop, rock and folk, and the Bristolian urban music scene of dance-hall, hip-hop, and Drum&Bass. Jimi’s live performances have the feel of a freewheeling party, magically spiced-up by the colourful variety of musicians that join him on stage. Regular band members include synth/bass & piano player Ana Gómez, drummer & kora player Suntou Susso Fakoli, and singer Zoe Penny. Other usual suspects in Jimi’s works include African bass player Edd Bateman, flamenco guitarist Cuffy Cuthberson, flamenco singer José Moneo, and Yam and Banana's singer-producer Uri Green.
Of Spanish and Cuban roots, Jimi Can (short for Jaime Cantera) moved to Bristol in 2004, to the predominantly Afro-Caribbean area of St Pauls, where he honed his fusion style in projects such as El Pato Band, Too Strong Lollipop, and Flamenco Loco. The melting pot of the Bristolian scene has shaped Jimi's music and his band's ever-evolving, ever-surprising lineups.
The Kahunas
https://www.facebook.com/thekahunas123
The Kahunas are an indie folk dance duo from the southwest coast performing their own original material. Foot stomping, melodic, festival vibes.
The Dirty Bird
https://www.facebook.com/bristolsdirtybird
Dirty, flirty and bright neon pink, The Dirty Bird is a new Gin & Cocktail Lounge in the heart of Clifton Village. Born out of the year we all wanted to forget, we made sure there was at least one thing from 2020 worth remembering! While many come for an eye-catching Instagram snap in front of our famed fluorescent Dirty Bird sign, they stay for our decadent and delicious contemporary cocktails masterfully crafted by a team of experienced mixologists. We also stock an extensive range of gins, as well as wines and beers from local suppliers.
