Picture shows trumpeters l-r: Chris Hart, Helen Whitemore, Gideon Brooks, performing live for the Mayor of Bristol, George Ferguson and Artistic Director of the Bristol Old Vic, Tom Morris for the first time at Bristol’s famous Temple Mead train station, heralding the opening of the Bristol Proms 2015.

The first performance by Arc Brass took place outside the Engine Shed, and throughout the day, performances took place at the Watershed, Pero's Bridge, the Wills Memorial Bell Tower and finally at Bristol Old Vic itself. David Mitcham, who has worked extensively for the BBC Natural History Unit based in Bristol said: “I am thrilled that my Fanfare “At the Top of the Tide” has been chosen for the city of Bristol and to open Bristol Proms 2015. I hope the Fanfare represents the rich diversity of Bristol, its maritime and industrial heritage as well as being a celebration of the spirit of the city and the energy it will carry into the future.”  Bristol Proms 2015 runs from today, 27th July to 1st August and features some of the world’s finest musicians including Alison Balsom, Miloš Karadaglić, Pumeza Matshikiza and Daniel Hope.

  • © Licensed to London News Pictures; 23/09/2020; Bristol, UK. The concert venue "Bristol Beacon", formerly called the Colston Hall, has its new name projected by Limbic Cinema onto the building for the first time together with images of performers. Today the Bristol Music Trust announced the new name "Bristol Beacon" for the entertainment and music venue formerly called the Colston Hall which is currently undergoing a major refurbishment. The Trust said three years ago that they would change the name due to the long standing controversy of the Colston name, and in June this year signs and letters saying "Colston Hall" were removed from Bristol's largest music and entertainment venue over ongoing controversy with the name being associated with the 17th century slave trader Edward Colston. In 2017 Bristol Music Trust had said they would change the name when the hall was refurbished, but with continuing delays and the recent Black Lives Matters events the name removal was brought forward, despite the new name not then being announced. The name removal came just over a week after the statue of Edward Colston which stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down by protestors and thrown in Bristol Docks during a Black Lives Matters rally and march through the city centre. The rally was held in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. Edward Colston (1636 – 1721) was a wealthy Bristol-born English merchant involved in the slave trade, a Member of Parliament and a philanthropist. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere, and his name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries against both modern day racism and historical legacies of slave

The Trust said three years ago that they would change the name due to the long standing controversy of the Colston name, and in June this year signs and letters saying "Colston Hall" were removed from Bristol's largest music and entertainment venue over ongoing controversy with the name being associated with the 17th century slave trader Edward Colston. In 2017 Bristol Music Trust had said they would change the name when the hall was refurbished, but with continuing delays and the recent Black Lives Matters events the name removal was brought forward, despite the new name not then being announced. The name removal came just over a week after the statue of Edward Colston which stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down by protestors and thrown in Bristol Docks during a Black Lives Matters rally and march through the city centre. The rally was held in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes. Edward Colston (1636 – 1721) was a wealthy Bristol-born English merchant involved in the slave trade, a Member of Parliament and a philanthropist. He supported and endowed schools, almshouses, hospitals and churches in Bristol, London and elsewhere, and his name is commemorated in several Bristol landmarks, streets, three schools and the Colston bun. The killing of George Floyd has seen widespread protests in the US, the UK and other countries against both modern day racism and historical legacies of slave

Picture shows l-r: SIMON CALLOW actor, MILES CHAMBERS former Bristol Poet Laureate, EMMA STENNING Bristol Old Vic Chief Executive, TOM MORRIS Bristol Old Vic Artistic Director, in viewing platforms in the original wall of the theatre from 1766, 252 years old. The dramatic redevelopment, by leading theatre and Stirling prize-winning architects Haworth Tompkins, is designed to create a warm and welcoming venue to attract wider, more diverse audiences, and to place the theatre at the heart of the city's public and cultural life. A full-height timber and glass-fronted foyer, revealing the original auditorium façade to the street for the first time, acts like a covered public square. Huge sun-shading shutters, incorporating the text of Garrick's inaugural 1766 address and a poem by former Bristol city poet Miles Chamber, highlight the theatre's long history and look forward to its future role in the whole community. The internal layout of the theatre has also been completely transformed, with the restoration of the Georgian Coopers' Hall as a public assembly room for Bristol, a new studio theatre created in the old barrel vaults, mezzanine galleries, winding staircases and viewing platforms. Together, they provide new flexible spaces for productions, events, experimental theatre and city-wide participation. The Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English speaking world. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP

Bristol Zoo, which is temporarily closed during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic lockdown in England, has announced today that it will be leaving the historic Clifton site in 2022 after 180 years there, and will relocate to its other premises the Wild Place Project near Cribbs Causeway. Bristol Zoological Society, which owns and operates both Bristol Zoo Gardens and Wild Place Project, says the move will create a world-class zoo and will safeguard the future of the organisation. The Clifton site will be sold. The Zoo says this follows years of declining visitor numbers to Bristol Zoo Gardens and the organisation having made an operating loss in four of the last six years. The plans have been announced after the second lockdown forced Bristol Zoo Gardens and Wild Place Project to close, after months of closure during the peak spring and summer months.

The University of Bristol is considering changing the names of some of its buildings including the Wills tower in response to the Black Lives Matters campaign and concern over links to slavery. In an email to students yesterday, the Vice-Chancellor and Pro Vice-Chancellor said the University is determined to become an anti-racist organisation, and that the University recognises how money from the transatlantic slave trade indirectly benefitted the University through philanthropic donations including from the Wills family who made money from the tobacco industry which had links to slavery. The University will review the names of buildings such as the Wills Memorial Building, Wills Hall for student accommodation and the Colston Street student accommodation. It also promises to review the University’s logo, which carries links to the slave trade. At a Black Lives Matter protest the previous Sunday the statue of slave trader and philanthropist Edward Colston which has stood in Bristol city centre for over 100 years was pulled down with ropes and thrown in Bristol Docks by protesters during the BLM rally and march through the city centre in memory of George Floyd, a black man who was killed on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis in the US by a white police officer kneeling on his neck for nearly 9 minutes.

  • © Licensed to London News Pictures; 21/12/2020; Bristol, UK. The lyrics “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas", a song originally sung by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me in St. Louis, are the latest projection in the series for Bristol ADVENTures, an arts project spearheaded by Bristol City Centre BID. Taking place at the Premier Inn the projection greets passengers arriving and leaving from Bristol Bus Station with a message of joy this Christmas. The series for "Bristol ADVENTures" sees a new building lit each day with a selection of the most jolly and iconic Christmas lyrics, with a trail of 24 locations complete by Christmas Eve. The project is part of the #BristolTogether collaboration which brought thousands of people to the socially distanced “Hearts in Parks” this summer. The words "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" have added resonance and poignancy during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic lockdown in the UK after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson used them to warn people to take care and keep contacts with other households to a minimum during an address to the nation for temporarily relaxing the tier restrictions for a scheduled five days over the Christmas period. But in response to a new coronavirus mutation this was followed a few days later by the Prime Minister reducing the relaxation period to Christmas day only for much of the UK and placing London and the south east under new Tier 4 restrictions closing all non-essential shops and banning  households from mixing, forcing millions of people to cancel their plans to meet family and friends for Christmas.

Taking place at the Premier Inn the projection greets passengers arriving and leaving from Bristol Bus Station with a message of joy this Christmas. The series for "Bristol ADVENTures" sees a new building lit each day with a selection of the most jolly and iconic Christmas lyrics, with a trail of 24 locations complete by Christmas Eve. The project is part of the #BristolTogether collaboration which brought thousands of people to the socially distanced “Hearts in Parks” this summer. The words "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas" have added resonance and poignancy during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic lockdown in the UK after the Prime Minister Boris Johnson used them to warn people to take care and keep contacts with other households to a minimum during an address to the nation for temporarily relaxing the tier restrictions for a scheduled five days over the Christmas period. But in response to a new coronavirus mutation this was followed a few days later by the Prime Minister reducing the relaxation period to Christmas day only for much of the UK and placing London and the south east under new Tier 4 restrictions closing all non-essential shops and banning  households from mixing, forcing millions of people to cancel their plans to meet family and friends for Christmas.

  • © Licensed to London News Pictures. 24/09/2018. Bristol, UK. The Bristol Old Vic Theatre in King Street reopens on Monday 24th September following a multi-million-pound transformation, with speeches including here from TOM MORRIS, Artistic Director of the Bristol Old Vic. The dramatic redevelopment, by leading theatre and Stirling prize-winning architects Haworth Tompkins, is designed to create a warm and welcoming venue to attract wider, more diverse audiences, and to place the theatre at the heart of the city's public and cultural life. A full-height timber and glass-fronted foyer, revealing the original auditorium façade to the street for the first time, acts like a covered public square. Huge sun-shading shutters, incorporating the text of Garrick's inaugural 1766 address and a poem by former Bristol city poet Miles Chamber, highlight the theatre's long history and look forward to its future role in the whole community. The internal layout of the theatre has also been completely transformed, with the restoration of the Georgian Coopers' Hall as a public assembly room for Bristol, a new studio theatre created in the old barrel vaults, mezzanine galleries, winding staircases and viewing platforms. Together, they provide new flexible spaces for productions, events, experimental theatre and city-wide participation. The Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English speaking world. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP

The Muslim community in Bristol organised a candle-lit vigil for all faiths and backgrounds at Bristol Cathedral to show solidarity with the victims of the Paris attacks which are claimed by IS (Islamic State).  The management and Imaam's of Bristol's Easton Jamia Masjid, Bristol's biggest mosque, released a statement saying they have been shocked and saddened by the attacks on innocent people in France. "We strongly condemn the terrorist atrocities in France, these sickening crimes are an attack against all of humanity.
