The Colston Hall is one of Bristol's premier venues, and over the last 140 years has been host to many internationally-renowned performance artists.
Some of my favourite nights out in Bristol have been spent here, from Detroit-based prog rockers Pere Ubu performing a live soundtrack to classic B-movie "It Came From Outer Space" to a brilliant stand up performance from Dylan Moran of TV sitcom "Black Books" fame.
The schedule of events is always eclectic, and tries to appeal to as many people as possible. In February, the youngsters may well be overjoyed to see pop diva Natasha Bedingfield live in concert, whereas older pop fans will be scrambling for tickets to see the flamboyant Boy George and/or the butter-voiced, optically challenged Gabrielle. Fans of world music would adore Salif Keita, Tony Allen and Didier Awadi team up for the African Soul Rebels night on 16th, as well as Chambao's electronica/dub take on the flamenco genre, on Thursday 28th. Even if these great names don't appeal to you, a quick look at the full program of events for February should find something to whet your aural appetites:
