Acid Jazz touring exhibition comes to Bristol
Acid Jazz was coined in 1987 as a term by DJ Chris Bangs at an Acid House night while the record label, Acid Jazz Records, started as a bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson.
The label expanded rapidly and in celebration of their three decades in the industry, the record label will be touring locations across the UK where Acid Jazz had arguably the strongest influence.
The music, arts, dance and culture exhibition will begin in Birmingham before travelling to Leeds, London and then Bristol, concluding in Luton.
