Friends of BS3, culture lovers, can you identify the street art locations of these animals from our neighbourhood in this short video by Goldfinches? There are roughly 16 animals in half a dozen locations. Apart from those already filled in for you, they were all spotted on walls not far from the Hen and Chicken pub where the south Bristol Indie-folk group will be playing in the bar at 9.45pm this Saturday 6th June. Whoever gets the most correct answers at the gig will get an album! And, regardless of whether you take part in the big and small game hunt, we’ll entertain you with our songs and play the rest of ‘Attenborough’ for you!
See you on Saturday.

The animals are listed below in their order of appearance in the video and those you won't find already have their locations provided. Enjoy!

This Wednesday is Open Mic night and you know what that means... great sound, great music, listening crowd, and a chance for you to get on our stage. If you haven't played before we'd love to hear from you!

FEATURED ARTIST: GERRY ROWE plus guests..

'Gerry Rowe scours the darkest corners of the tortured early 21st century psyche for disturbing semi-truths to drag quivering and dying into the half-light of the collective unconsciousness. He says 'people want three chords and the truth but life's never dull. Be off with you!'

Following their sold-out Hen & Chicken show in February, we are excited to welcome back Furlined.

Infectious hooks, rich vocals and lush, swooning cello are the defining features of Furlined, a Bristol-based band formed in 2012 by singer-songwriter Neil Crossley and cellist Tegan Everett.

The band's sound spans alt country and wry English chamber pop – "Morrissey meets Americana" as one review put it – and they have been likened to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Richard Hawley and Orange Juice.

📍Saturday 14th November
The Chicken Shed at the Hen & Chicken
Tickets £10 in advance and on sale now!
