Outdoor Party at The Rose & Crown: Funk, Soul, and Disco in the Beer Garden

(Scroll to the bottom to listen back to the set)


Yesterday was one for the books! I had the pleasure of DJing at The Rose & Crown (BS15 1BH), and let me tell you, it was a day to remember. The weather was absolutely perfect – the sun was shining, and there wasn't a cloud in sight. It was the kind of day that just makes you feel good to be alive.


The event was held in their beer garden, which is the ideal spot for a sunny afternoon. The place was packed with people soaking up the sun, sipping on refreshing drinks and cocktails, and indulging in some seriously tasty food (the roast dinners are DIVINE!). The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and good vibes.


From the moment I started spinning, I could feel the crowd’s energy. I decided to go with a mix of epic funk, soul, and disco tracks – the kind of music that makes you want to get up and dance. And dance they did! It was fantastic to see so many smiling faces grooving to the beats. The combination of the perfect weather, the lively crowd, and the irresistible tunes created an unforgettable experience.

If you haven't visited The Rose & Crown yet, you're seriously missing out. This pub is a gem in Bristol with its stylish, modern decor and traditional bar. The beer garden is a perfect spot for sunny days, and the restaurant serves up delicious local food and a great selection of drinks. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to relax or a lively venue to enjoy with friends, The Rose & Crown has it all (they're dog friendly too!)
