Bristol's Pop presents...BRISTOL GOES POP!
We're delighted to announce the first edition of our DIY indie-pop fest here in Bristol, with some great bands from all around the UK and beyond.
THE POPGUNS
Formed in Brighton back in 1986 The Popguns have proved to be one of the most enduring and beloved indie bands in the country. Maybe best known for their fantastic single Waiting For The Winter, the Popguns are back and still producing excellent records. Their live show is not to be missed!
