Which Twestival is using a venue owned by a local celebrity? Bristol!

The Tunnels, a fabulous space underneath Bristol Temple Meads station, has been given to us for free by its owner the former England rugby union international Gareth Chilcott. We met Gareth this afternoon and he took us on a tour of The Tunnels which you can see in the video below:

Phantom Limb to headline Bristol Twestival

Posted on: 10 March 2010 (2 weeks ago) at 1305 - Comment

We are thrilled to announce today that the headlining act for the Bristol Twestival is local band Phantom Limb.

Destined to be huge, Phantom Limb formed in 2004 and have secured their place on the local scene as a genre-splitting, euphonic delight. They recently took their sounds beyond Bristol in a slot on last year’s World Stage at Glastonbury Festival, as well as several dates in Europe and America.

Lead singer Yolanda Quartey and guitarist Stew Jackson co-wrote Will Young’s last single and were special guests on the Pop Idol winner’s last tour. They are also about to head out to Los Angeles to record their second album which will be produced by legendary guitarist and former member of the Black Crows Marc Ford.

With a steadily growing media presence and having featured in BBC Radio London’s Albums of the Year review on New Year’s Day this year, we just might have yet another local band to add to that iconic South West music Hall of Fame which houses such greats as Massive Attack, who have worked with members of Phantom Limb.

Yolanda, Stew and guitarist Dan Moore from Phantom Limb will join other local heroes The Reacharounds to make Bristol Twestival truly the place to be for a fantastic night of live music, local DJs, a prize-fuelled raffle and the chance to meet, tweet and give all for a fantastic cause.

If you want to be part of what is set to be a fantastic night buy a ticket for only a fiver here.

Introducing the Bristol Twestival 2010 venue

Posted on: 12 February 2010 at 2149 - Comment

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…we have a venue!

Finding somewhere to stage it is often the hardest part of organising a big charity party but fortunately we’ve managed to get over that hurdle as today we secured The Tunnels, a fantastic new music venue, for the Bristol shindig on 25 March.

The Tunnels opened just four months go but has already hosted many sell-out gigs. It is owned by England rugby legend and Bristolian Gareth Chilcot and housed in a place once frequented by another high profile figure with links to the city. Who? Isambard Kingdom Brunel! It’s situated in two converted railway arches and sits below Brunel’s original office at Bristol Temple Meads station.

Believe us, it’s an impressive space and here are some images to prove it:
