Everything Is Music: telling the story of Bristol & Bath’s Music Scene
What is involved?
Advertisement
Music lovers are invited to explore the stories of Bristol and Bath’s iconic music scenes through the new location-based digital ‘ museum project’ Everything is Music. Everything is Music is a celebration of the people and places that form these west country cities’ musical heritage. The project invites artists, prominent characters, labels, clubs, venues, record stores and festivals that form the fabric of Bristol and Bath’s musical landscape – past and present – to explain why particular locations are important to them. These stories are then told through photographs, video, audio, podcasts, music and experiences, at location-based pins in the two cities.
Music through the ages is celebrated across 250+ locations. The platform offers everything from stories about iconic St Pauls' sound systems, to The Wurzels’ connection to an iconic Nailsea pub. Music lovers will hear Portishead talking from a Bristol studio about recording their debut album, the story of Bath’s lost iconic rock venue The Pavilion, and an exploration through Bristol’s thriving electronic scene dominated by up-and-coming women. Though this is just a taster of the huge number of stories on offer. The project aims to visualise the sights and sounds of these two cities, through a collaboration between international music publication Crack Magazine and cutting-edge technology from geo-location specialist Landmrk. The project harnesses the latest mobile technology to create experiences for music lovers including 4D a udio reactive visualisers, 3D photogrammetry scans, archive posters in augmented reality and exclusively recorded mixes.
How it works
Participants can unlock content on their phones at specific locations to uncover a treasure trove of artefacts and discoveries from 70 years of musical history. The platform is completely free, requires no download and can be accessed by heading to everythingismusic.io on a smartphone’s web browser.
Once on the platform, you are guided to the interactive map showcasing all available pins across the two cities as well as your current location. By walking around Bristol and Bath, content can be unlocked by being close to a pin on the map. Unlocking these pins allows you to read, listen and view stories, music and visual experiences.
As the full edition of the tour is available for free, contributions from participants will ensure this cultural resource can remain permanently in the city and be experienced by future generations looking to discover Bristol and Bath’s musical lineage. Making sure everyone can continue to enjoy this resource is vital to the long-term success of the project.
Everything is Music advises all participants to operate within the government’s Covid-19 guidelines and be respectful of people, place and property while doing the tour.

Bristol’s Best Home Cooks Host Virtual Cake Sale for India Covid Fund
Six cooks from the platform which allows local people to discover talented cooks selling their food locally, will roll up their sleeves to bake in excess of 500 cakes across the upcoming May bank holiday weekend. These cakes will be available to order from Monday 24th May and will be sold via the All About The Cooks website, providing an easy way for locals to donate to the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (BAPIO) India Covid Fund.
Cooks Samina, Joanna, Mona, Catherine, Anne and Sarah will be baking the cakes, along with guest cooks from Bristol social enterprise, 91 Ways. Everything from classic cupcakes with buttercream icing, decadent chocolate cake, afternoon tea for two, lemon and elderflower loaf, brownies, carrot cake and cream cheese frosting and even a flourless dark chocolate and coconut loaf will be available to buy. All About The Cooks Founder, Claire Ladkin says: “When a few of the cooks came to us and asked whether they could use the platform to host an online cake sale in aid of the India Covid Fund, we immediately said yes. With so few of us in offices or gathering together, running successful fundraisers like people would have before is challenging. By doing the sale on the platform, we can host all the cakes on one page, giving the people of Bristol a chance to browse through an array of seriously tempting items which they can collect from the cooks’ homes all over Bristol. 42 What’s great is that 100% of the money taken will go to the fund, as it’ll be run via our platform for 0% commission. We’re hopeful those who’ve enjoyed food via our platform before – and new users to All About The Cooks - will support our talented cooks as they try to make a difference to a very troubling situation in India.”
Cook Sarah from Bishopston says: “Over the years, when world crises have arisen, I have always tried to do something to help. I’ve held coffee mornings and cake sales both at home and at work and have always been delighted with how generous and supportive people have been towards the various causes I’ve supported.
The last time I baked on the scale I will be for this fundraiser was for the NHS workers at the height of the Covid crisis. On that occasion I, like so many others, made a huge amount of baked goods to give the workers a bit of moral support and appreciation. I’m hopeful that by doing the sale online via All About The Cooks, that we can make a substantial donation to the BAPIO India Covid Fund.”
