Independent Label Market joins forces with Bristol New Music to launch ILM Bristol, a new pop-up market at Bristol Beacon!
ILM takes its signature market experience on the road, landing at Bristol Beacon on Saturday 25 April. This pop-up event gives Bristol music fans the chance to meet the teams behind their favourite labels – including Hospital, Severn Songs, Third Man and more – uncover exclusive releases and vinyl rarities, and celebrate the city’s thriving independent music scene.
Since launching on Berwick St in May 2011, Independent Label Market has brought together the founders of over 400 of the world’s greatest independent record labels on both sides of the Atlantic to sell their fresh vinyl produce directly to the public at that traditional goods exchange – a market stall.
