Have you heard the story about the body kept at Bristol University? Did you know about the Barber who went down Niagara falls in a barrel? What about the ghost rider at Stoke Park, or the cricketer who refused to be out so as not to disappoint his many followers? Then there's the woman who survived jumping off the suspension bridge!
Lover of local history Gav Ball delights in finding the quirky and curious stories from our city's past, and to make things even more interesting, he puts them into song. So come along and hear about all these local stories with accompanying songs - two for the price of one!
