El Rincon Bristol

**Important Update for the El Rincon Community**

Many of you may have heard that El Rincon is currently facing a premises licence review.

No decision has been made, and the process is still ongoing. However, the outcome could have a significant impact on the future of the venue.

For over 20 years, El Rincon has been a home for live music, local events, football supporters, fundraisers, celebrations, and countless friendships. We know that many people have their own stories and experiences of what this venue means to them.

Over the coming weeks, we may ask customers, musicians, local residents, community groups and supporters to share their experiences and views as part of the review process.

For now, we simply wanted to keep our amigos and community informed and thank everyone for their continued support. Your kind words, messages and encouragement mean a great deal to me

Please keep an eye on our page for further updates and please share.

Best regards
David

🎶 LIVE NEXT THURSDAY — 28TH MAY 🎶

Get ready for a brilliant night of live music at the bar as TRIPPY make their debut performance!

Channeling the spirit of their 90s roots with a fresh modern edge, TRIPPY fuse sixties-inspired grooves, Britpop swagger, and rich melodic colour into a set that flows effortlessly between original material and timeless favourites.

Fronted by Mike — mi old amigo and the driving force behind the band — TRIPPY have emerged once again from Bristol’s vibrant music scene. Their deep musical backgrounds, natural chemistry, and renewed creative energy bring a warm, infectious momentum to every performance.

We’d love to see you there to give them a proper welcome for their debut night! 🍻🎸

Hot of the Press!
A special Saturday one-off as part of this year’s ‘North Street Sounds” extravaganza, featuring multiple venues and happenings along the road. At El Rinc, we’re delighted to welcome back ‘el grupo de casa’ after far-too-long an absence. And for this NSS ‘especial’, the classic Invisible Apples line-up of mighty Jon Baggott (Portishead, Massive Attack, Robert Plant, etc) on piano and Pete Judge (Get The Blessing etc) on flugelhorn will be joined by brilliant drummer Matt Stockham Brown (who, as well as being a Montreux Jazz Festival award-winner, plays with his own project 6161, and Rincon regulars Uphill Game, amongst many others). They’ll be playing plenty of Jon’s gorgeously melodic and meditative originals, plus some standards and upbeat footstompers. A cracker.

Join the Team (Maybe…)
We’re a tight-knit crew at El Rincon — a lovely mix of brilliant part-time minds (academics, artists, musicians, neighbours… you get the vibe) who’ve genuinely made this place their second home.
These days, we’re lucky to have low staff turnover — and even see former team members return when they miss us. So, while we’re not actively recruiting right now, we’re always happy to hear from someone genuinely keen to be part of what we do.
Top tip: If you’re just looking for a cheeky three-month gig before heading back to halls — probably not for us.
But if you’re hard-working, unfazed by lively music nights, football and rugby crowds and think you’d fit in with our eclectic little bunch — I’d love to hear from you.
Send me an email and attach your CV. If there’s a space at the bar with your name on it, we’ll be in touch. y ya in Spanish

Únete al equipo (quizás…)

Somos un grupo muy unido en El Rincón — una mezcla encantadora de mentes brillantes a tiempo parcial (académicos, artistas, músicos, vecinos… ya te haces una idea) que realmente han hecho de este lugar su segundo hogar.

Hoy en día, tenemos la suerte de contar con una baja rotación de personal — e incluso vemos a antiguos miembros del equipo regresar cuando nos echan de menos. Así que, aunque no estamos reclutando activamente en este momento, siempre nos alegra saber de alguien que realmente quiera formar parte de lo que hacemos.

💡 Consejo: Si solo buscas un trabajito de tres meses antes de volver a la uni… probablemente este no sea tu sitio.

Pero si eres trabajador/a, no te intimidan las noches con música en vivo, los partidos de fútbol y rugby, y crees que encajarías con nuestro pequeño y ecléctico grupo — me encantaría saber de ti.

Envíame un correo electrónico y adjunta tu CV. Si hay un hueco en la barra con tu nombre, nos pondremos en contacto contigo.

Un abrazo
David
