With this being
my first year living in Bristol I’d never been to Dot to Dot festival before,
but after some of my friends suggested going and I had a listen to some of the
acts playing I was really keen to go and see what it was all about. The
festival was spread across 12 of Bristol’s music venues, with the first acts
starting at 12pm and the events finishing off with various after-parties. Due
to the sheer number of artists performing over the day, it was difficult to
narrow down the selection, but between the five of us in my group we
pre-organised a schedule of people we wanted to see beforehand.
As both Dot to
Dot and Love Saves the Day were on the same weekend, there was a festival-like
atmosphere in around the city centre, which was evident when walking between
the venues – though I was pretty smug that Dot to Dot was inside and sheltered
from the typically Bristolian rain.
