Delighted to welcome back this excellent combo playing 'Balkan Heart Music' - original and traditional songs from the former Yugoslavia, with brushes of Klezmer and the Middle East. Playing as a 4 piece tonight, with Sophie Wilsdon on clarinet & vocals, Barney Rhythm on guitar and vocals, Naomi Hill on violin & vocals, and Liam O'Connell on double bass. www.soundcloud.com/troyka_bristol

Really excellent instrumental trio which blends haunting delicate melodies and hypnotic grooves, taking inspiration from contemporary Scandinavian jazz and post-classical sounds. The trio is built around an unusual father-daughter collaboration between Jemima Evans (piano) and Joe Evans (double bass). Theyre joined by drummer Paul Wigens, formerly of punk-jazz legends Blurt, and half of minimalist Bristol duo Eyebrow. Went down a storm here last year. Very much recommended.

Great line up of superb performers as usual in the Rinc. We have Emma Coyne Bath New Act honourable mention. As seen at Bristol Beacon One25. Walter Jack Bristol Comedy Competition 2025 semi-finalist and Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off semi-finalist. Jack Campbell. Previous English Comedian of The Year winner. Jack Davey. A stand out star in the current bumper crop of top Bristol acts Not too shabby eh! Pick up a ticket and see you in El Rincon for another great 'Noche de Comedia'

Holly Carter is a singer-songwriter and multi-award-winning instrumentalist, one of Bristol's leading fingerstyle guitarists, and one of the UK's only professional female pedal steel players. Ahead of the release of her full-length album "Leave Your Mark" later this year, Holly is bringing an exclusive sneak peek to El Rincon in the form of an intimate duo show with guitarist Joe Wilkins. The evening will be split into two halves: the first will revisit older tracks, fan favourites, and some new instrumental arrangements, while the second will feature the new album played in full for the very first time. Holly and Joe will also discuss everything involved in the making of the album, from the recording methods used to the inspiration behind the artwork. This is a unique opportunity to hear these songs in a stripped-back setting, well in advance of their official release, learn more about the stories behind them and get your hands on some brand new merch (some of it hand-printed by Holly herself!).
