Downbeat Melody Soundsystem

Join us at the Wiper and True Taproom in Old Market for a Bank Holiday weekend celebration as part of the East Bristol Brewery Trail. Soak up the summer atmosphere in the beer garden with the legendary Downbeat Melody Sound System bringing the vibes. DJs Steve Rice, John Stapleton, and Boom Operator will be spinning an eclectic mix of afrobeat, reggae, latin, cumbia, funk, and soul — all from original vintage vinyl collected from around the world.

Expect a soundtrack of rare gems and timeless classics, complemented by Beautiful Beer brewed on site and mouth-watering food to keep you fuelled. A laid-back day of top-quality music, drinks and sunshine — not to be missed.
