Excited to share that I’ve been invited to join the new Licensing Policy Taskforce

We’ll be making recommendations to help shape a licensing system that better supports culture, community and the night.

Proud to bring Bristol’s voice to the table.

This is such an interesting read. History always repeats itself. Back in the late 90s early 00s many events were brand sponsored. With the rise of the internet, nightlife lost big time on this money as brands preferred ownership of their audiences. Full circle?

£2.5m is being invested into this venues redevelopment to allow it to be more flexible to the needs of nightlife in the city. An amazing a vote of confidence for Bristols night time economy. Can’t wait to see what Pryzm do with the place 🥳

Yes France! Ministry of Culture recognises Nightclubs as Cultural Actors ✊

I long for the day that British Electronic Music gets the same recognition as a valuable cultural asset, with the same cultural tax relief as Theatre, Orchestras and Museums

One day…. 🤞

Great end to 2024. It's really lifted our spirits 💓.

A story of my evening, in three parts. Looking forward to every one of these meeting their new owner tomorrow.

Made from recycled & waste materials, laser cut in Bristol. Cheaper than the usual lanyards. Reusable for future events. Every one hand made.

Together, we design the night. 🙌

Motion is an anchor in Bristol's nightlife, yet we might lose it because the land may be sold from under their feet. My heart broke today.

The need to protect nightlife culture and safeguard it for the future has never been more acute.

We believe the Bristol Music Fund will have the power to transform music in Bristol for generations.

Our proposals go beyond simply creating a music fund – it is a new economic model, rooted in community power.

My toxic trait is getting 95% through writing an email, forgetting to press send, and then getting stroppy about why I haven’t had a response yet.
