Cancelled -Beezer’s Bristol Through the Lens. With Beezer and David Corio – at the M-Shed Bristol

Dear All, we are really sorry and sad to announce that the M-Shed have cancelled the event on Tuesday 21st due to ‘logistical challenges’.
They are rescheduling the event for early 2026.

This is all beyond our control so while extremely unhappy about the decision we are still excited to do this event early next year. M-shed say they are totally supportive of local art and cultural production. Andy Beezer Beese ‘s images of the city from the 1980s to the present day are an invaluable resource for this city’s culture.

We are pleased that Bristol City Council and its museum supports home grown culture and the visual and artistic representations of this great multicultural city.
As soon as we have the new date from the M-shed we will be posting it here and on all our social media.

All the best from PC-Press, Andy Beezer Beese, Pete Webb and the team. One Love.

Step into the wild heart of 1980s Bristol, an era of rebellion, creativity, and unforgettable street culture, through the iconic lens of photographer Beezer.

Bristol Museums are proud to celebrate the launch of Beezer’s legendary documentation of Bristol’s youth, music, and protest scenes in his new book, Until Now. From the explosive days of the St Pauls riots to the electric energy of underground gigs, Beezer’s camera captured the city’s raw spirit and the faces that shaped a generation.

What to Expect

Talks & Q&A: Hear from Beezer himself about the stories behind the powerful images – moments of joy, rage, and unity that defined a city on the edge of change. Dive into the legacy of 1980s Bristol as David Corio, Beezer and Pete Webb discuss the DIY ethos of the era, and the lasting impact of Bristol’s subcultures.

DJ Alikat: Music producer with Bristol’s 90s-early millennium dub, punk, electronic trio Moodubi Sound System. Vocalist and songwriter. Spinning hip-hop, acid house, nu skool breaks, dubstep, down tempo jazz and dub reggae mashups. Experience the music that fuelled the movement, from punk and reggae to the birth of the Bristol Sound.

Bar: Grab a drink when you arrive, or linger with another and your friends after the talk.

Beezer’s work is more than nostalgia, it’s a living archive of resistance, creativity, and community. His photographs immortalise the people and places that made Bristol a beacon for youth culture and social change.

Don’t miss this chance to relive the crazy summers and days of rage that shaped a city, and see how their echoes still resonate today.
