The Bristol Sound

Workshops for young people based on the history of the Trinity Centre, starting in May

The project will look at beginnings of the Trinity Centre and how the venue became the birthplace of 'the Bristol Sound' music scene.

There will be a series of creative workshops for young people exploring these themes, as well as oral and visual history elements encouraging local people to get involved and share their stories.

If you have a story or would like to get involved, please contact nick@3ca.org.uk

The Bristol Sound: The Trinity Centre has hosted major musical events for over two decades and is recognised as the birthplace of the Bristol Sound

As many of Britain's key music venues are being swallowed up by large organisations, veering towards a "'monopolistic multi-media empire' that has stymied competition, driven up ticket prices and reduced consumer choice", the Trinity Centre remains one of the last independent music venues in the UK, programming a calendar of music that is both affordable and relevant to the local and wider communities of Bristol.
