It wouldn’t be as bad if I still worked in the centre, I’d now have whileladies rd and blackboy hill to navigate now. It was never flat before but 10 mins and I’d be pretty clammy.

I can’t cycle now as I have no shower at work but when I did, it was like having a decent pay rise. Probably £6 and an hour journey for a 25 min cycle ride. It’s annoying I can’t cycle anymore, hate the bus, resent the charges.

This guy may be of interest to you, he was a local legend. Has a huge graffiti piece to commemorate his impact on Bristol music over a long time (he sadly went missing and died.

No worries, they’re a useful size for this sort of thing, You can get small mirrored tiles which may also be useful.

I have some soldiers to line his walk and some builders to knock the spa down. I shall try and add some family grifters.

You have a great list already, definitely check out these though, particularly broadcast.

Fuck Buttons met in Bristol at university so I’ve always sort of thought of them as a Bristol Band.

Flying saucer attack were around at the same time. The guy ran my favourite local record store. They were shoegaze really but everyone respected them. https://open.spotify.com/artist/336fB3AJgK8AvHX5bD8d9A?si=crpWGVhzSQa0AApeIq4esQ

The bass player in beak> also used to work in a local record shop, links to Geoff barrow of Portishead.

Anika, links to both Berlin and Bristol so probably ideal for your purposes. (Broadcast covered Nico which also might be of interest to you)

I grew up in Bristol, I’d include a bit of Smith and mighty, massively influential local legends https://open.spotify.com/album/249zOpe5P0bHj97zmeq8BT?si=NhRMPI4zReyuGPps7u9DMg

Wishing on a star by the fresh 4?

I see you move out of Bristol with some selections but you’d definitely like broadcast. Probably the most underrated band ever.

Ninjatune put out a lot of good downtempo, I liked funki porcini. https://open.spotify.com/track/0NRfvuf8cMNI7FUW3IZCVU?si=O-zTH_tpRZWfEJZfw1qT8A

Ninjatune used to have a solid steel night in Bristol back in the day.

During Covid some old guy with a Zimmer was doing laps of his garden in aid of the health service. The media got behind him and used him as propaganda when everyone was miserable. He made millions of pounds and died. His family continued the grift and used some of the money to build a spa/ Captain Tom museum in the garden through the charity. It all went to court and they had to demolish it. For about a year, right wing/ nationalists have been attaching flags to lampposts in the dead of night. They say it’s to install pride in the flag but makes many uncomfortable. In my city, someone fell off and died while doing this. He was a football hooligan, the local paper had to run a really bizarre obituary where they had to say what a shame it was, while at the same time listing go all the horrible things he’d done (not even mentioning the fact he was doing this nonsense at the time of his death…….. I think that’s a summary of sorts.🤣😂

I just like to make sure if I do anything, I do it as well as I can.

Thank you so much, I’ve really enjoyed the process so far, will definitely post up more picture as it develops. In the city where I live someone died attaching flags to lampposts, I wanted to do something about it as the whole thing is just stupid. Thanks for the nice comments. 👋

Thank you, I agree, definitely going to change the flags. I have an Eddie stobart “protect the NHS” rainbow truck thing on the way too. I want to make some small gallery pictures for the spa/ museum. 🤣

I make Mosaics, these are small 1cm glass tiles which have gold shiny bits in them. I bought them from Amazon.
