Websites

ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORKSHOP
www.acousticguitarworkshop.com • Plenty of free resources to help you on the road to becoming a finger-style blues pro from this Bristol-based website.

BLACKSPIKE DESIGN
www.blackspike.com • The home of specialist web designer Felix Corke who, in addition to designing posters for various Bristol events, has worked for O2, Setanta Sports and more.

BRISTOL TICKET SHOP
www.bristolticketshop.co.uk Shop: 26 Union St Bristol, tel: 0117 929 9008, email: sales@bristolticketshop.co.uk • Not just a website, in fact, but also a physical store where you can pick up tickets for just about any event in the Bristol and Bath area.

CHOKE FORUM
www.ttyc.co.uk • Once upon a time Choke was a cool little mag and musicians’ collective, and though that’s folded now, the Choke forum lives on to serve Bristol and Bath’s musical community. It’s probably the best place on the web to join a band or recruit a band member in the area, and there’s also plenty of discussion of who’s playing where and if they’re any good.

GUITARBITZ
www.guitarbitz.com, tel: 0845 222 2603 • Guitar parts a-plenty, but also full guitars, amps, basses and accessories from this online shop based in Frome. Free express delivery to the UK on all items. Also a buyer’s guide, technical information and a directory of tutors.

HIJACK
www.hijackbristol.co.uk • Very active music forum, which is particularly hot on Bristol’s thriving club culture. The exchange board is full of local types flogging their unwanted wares - not just music gear but also the odd sofa or fish tank too.

MIXDATABASE
www.mixdatabase.com • Free samples and mixes available for the dance aficionado available from this Bristol-based, non-profit website. It also provides a platform for up-and-coming DJs and producers to get their music heard.
