Lyrics from popular love songs hung above city centre streets

By Bristol24/7  Monday May 24, 2021

Buskers played alongside lyrics from popular love songs which have appeared above streets to welcome back people to the city centre.

All of the musicians study at BIMM Institute Bristol and played under one of the 20 sets of pink lyrics featuring words from artists including The Beatles, Elton John and Bob Marley.

The lyrics are now hanging in King Street, Cabot Circus, Queen’s Road, Broadmead, Park Street and Corn Street.

The #LoveBristol campaign from Bristol City Centre BID follows on from their Hearts in Parks and festive Bristol ADVENTures campaigns.

Visitors can head to Visit Bristol, for a Spotify playlist to enjoy alongside the lyrics on the streets, as well as a guide to every lyric appearing across the city.

Bristol City Centre BID operations director, Keith Rundle, said: “This work is all about supporting the recovery of our businesses and the city centre.

“We are bringing partners together to support them as they deliver a fantastic experience for all those visiting and working in all businesses across the area.

“It is particularly significant that for the first time this year hospitality businesses can now welcome people inside to enjoy the great diversity of offers available across the city centre.”

The installations will be in place throughout summer, with the campaign led by Bristol City Centre BID alongside Visit Bristol, Business West, Cabot Circus and Broadmead BID, in partnership with the One City Economy Board and Bristol City Council.
