| Bristol Reggae Orchestra |
Established within the community of St Paul's in 2010, BRO have consistently delivered quality and special curations of reggae and roots music. A large ensemble formed around the core rhythms of reggae and ska they have not been afraid to experiment and now have a huge repertoire of originals and arrangements of reggae standards. In 2023 with their newly formed Windrush choir they opened the Glastonbury Pyramid Stage on the final day of the festival and opened the proceedings for the renovated Bristol Beacon later that year.
Expect an inspiring and authentic performance with a vibe right off of their performance 3 days before at Valley Fest. BRO are committed to the cause and have responded promptly to get this off the ground so they can deliver much needed aid and give back to the destruction caused by this huge natural disaster.
