| BIMM Bristol Live & Lyrical Show - The Thekla - Children in Need. |
| BIMM Bristol’s term 1 Live & Lyrical show ran this year on Friday 18th November at the Thekla in conjunction with Children in Need. 23 acts were successful from audition and the show kicked off in style with incredible performances during the night from BIMM Bristol artists Kane Brook, Evie Woods, Mary Cadbury, Point To The Sun and Henry Murray. The evening was headlined by George Barnett who gave a utterly compelling and beautiful solo performance, leaving the entire venue speechless. The event raised a great deal of money and all proceeds have been donated to Children in Need. The next Live & Lyrical show in Term 2 will be held in partnership with The Jessie May Foundation to raise funds for terminally ill children. |
