This week, we're diving into Bristol's vibrant nightlife. Neil talks with legendary Bristol photographer Colin Moody who has has been wide awake, capturing the city after dark in his latest project.Colin is no stranger to documenting Bristol's characters; his previous photography books have brought the streets of Montpelier and Gloucester Road to life. Now, he's turned his lens to the nightlife, working for the past five years (yes, even through lockdown) alongside Jasmine Yaba Ketibuah-foley. Neil chats with Colin about his new book, the decline of nightlife across the UK, and why clubs are closing left and right. Is it the cost of living? Post-pandemic struggles? And what about the rave scene—is it still the cultural force it once was?Plus, should a man of Colin's age really be out until 4 AM taking photos? Shouldn't he be at home with a cup of cocoa? Tune in for a brilliant conversation about art, nightlife, and the soul of after-hours Bristol.
In this one-of-a-kind episode, host of the Out of the Clouds podcast, Anne V Mühlethaler, is the ‘guest,' this time being interviewed by her friend, podcast host and journalist Etain Lavelle. Anne shares in her introduction that Etain is like extended family to her. They became friends in their twenties and shared a flat on London's Gloucester Road for a few years. Etain was the best person to interview Anne for this special episode.In this conversation, Etain dives into Anne's life journey, asking about her childhood memories and her unconventional education. Anne explains how she found herself settling into a retail career at Christian Louboutin, which was then a small label, after abandoning her pursuit at a music career. She also recounts the outset of what ended up as a seventeen-year stint at the now global shoe brand. Later, Anne talks about the vision behind her coaching, consulting and storytelling practice and the genesis of her podcast Out of the Clouds, before talking about why being consistent in communication is just as essential as choosing the right platforms for a brand. The two discuss successes and lessons learned from difficulties at home during Anne's teenage years. They reflect how her past put her on the path that she is on, though, leading her to become a mindfulness meditation teacher. It's an emotional topic for Anne, who fights back tears as she reveals the intimate connection between the two. To conclude, Etain and Anne discuss language, their favourite books, how their travels have changed them, and the importance of trusting the process. A unique interview that offers a glimpse into Anne's backstory.

This week we felt it was the right thing to share our vision for our new building at 279 Gloucester Road with you, and talk about where we are headed as a church family. With our new building, we now have 24,000 square feet of faith ! We plan to share it with our community, with the Gloucester Road and with our whole city, Bristol. The next era of B&A is one church, one parish, one building….and we feel God's purpose for us is to fill this building with faith. We want faith to rise up and grow - ultimately we want the whole city to be filled with faith - and our building is the first step on this journey.
This week we're talking about some B&A family news. We recently shared that an opportunity has come up for a buildings exchange with Horfield Baptist Church at 279 Gloucester Road and our Gloucester Road building at 160a. Wayne & James talk us through how we got here, next steps and how we can all step out in faith in every aspect of our lives.

On the 24th May 1957, Emanuel Akinyemi at Gloucester Road tube station heard footsteps and some scuffling on the emergency stairs at the station. Next he heard a woman shout "Bandit!" When he went to investigate he found an elderly woman who had been stabbed in the chest. The investigation began and the police uncovered many shocks and surprises that they certainly had not been expecting.

For this podcast we came down to Bristol, and we have to be honest: there were three motives at play. Firstly, it was to find out about the booming vegan and plant-based food scene that has found a home in these parts – so booming, in fact, that articles across the web last week claimed that Bristol had more vegan-related Google searches than anywhere else in the world. Secondly, we wanted to get inside the mind of some of the chefs serving that plant-based scene – to find out how veganism might represent a wonderful form of constrained creativity. And thirdly we wanted to cheekily eat some of their amazing food. Well, wouldn't you if you had the chance?Ultimately, what we think we found was a scene and a city that embraces and celebrates open-mindedness. But before we jump to any conclusions, let me introduce the cast. We'll be chatting to Rob Howell, the Head Chef at Root, a veg-first restaurant in the ultra-hip Whapping Wharf; to Elliott Lidstone and Tessa Lidstone, the Head Chef and co-owner of Box-e, also in Whapping Wharf, and to James Koch, the co-owner at Suncraft and the Gallimaufry on Gloucester Road. (Each of these work with Real Kombucha on their non-alcoholic options.)
Hardly a day goes by when you see on the news another tragic stabbing in London. I hear a lot of community leaders and young people now talking about the lack of opportunity, aspiration, government spending, which then leads to them getting into the wrong crowd were joining gangs. I’ve got no opportunity Austerity is not for me I ain’t got no opportunity I grew up on a council estate in a rough part of London, well Camden was rough before it became gentrified, and we went through similar issues, but the gang violence was nothing like today and there was no drug dealing. But I had to make my way out of the so-called “ghetto” and get on with life, row my own boat as it were. The fact is, opportunity is everywhere in a wealthy western country like the UK. Education is free, unlike many parts of the world where kids drop out after high school. The reason I mention this is because I was really pleased to read about a young man that went out and look for opportunities and found it surprisingly quickly. Reggie Nelson came from a family that didn’t have much money and live in an area of South East London where expectations were low. Sounds a bit like my school where The aspirations of going very fa were limited. However, a few miles across London in Kensington was a place where he knew there were lots of wealthy and successful people. Rather than being envious of those people, he went out to find out what it was that made them successful. It was inspired by Joan Rivers show in America called “how do you how did you get rich” where the host asked rich people how they got that way. He decided to give it a try himself in London, so he Googled the richest area and hopped on the train and got out of Gloucester Road in the Kensington and. Chelsea area. Talking to Jeremy Vine on radio 2, Reggie immediately noticed but it was a different world and a completely different environment from his home. He Started approaching people in the street and just asking them how they became successful and he was rejected by a few but then he saw a man getting out of an Aston Martin and he asked him how we got to own such a nice car. The man was friendly and said that education was the key in and getting forward and gave him £40, even though he was not even asking for money, just advice! He then went to a road where there was a long row of houses and started knocking on doors. At first he received some negative responses and some people were frightened to open the door or telling to go away through the intercom. But the second door that was opened was a lady called Elizabeth Price who actually invited me in to have a chat. Then her husband, Quinten Price, came in and offered to mentor the young man. He he worked in asset management in the city. To cut a long story short he went there for an “experience day” and later work experience, which is not easy to obtain by the way, and a few years later has completed his Education and has nabbed a plum in the city as an analyst for my old company Legal and General. Some might look at him and say, he was lucky! L & G are a great company and one of the UK’s biggest insurers, fund managers and commercial property developers. Quick story after the late 1980’s crash. The great thing about this story is that here you have an 18 year old kid at the time who had the initiative and the balls to hop on the train to part of London which was a completely different world from where he lived and actually knock on doors and talk to people. I would love to interview him for my podcast because he can really inspire young people. Obviously Reggie still had to put in the work and get an economics degree at Kingston University in order to get a good job in the city - so it wasn’t handed to him on a silver platter – but the inspiration came from meeting people and a mentor could help him along the way. The story also illustrates importance of networking and getting to know people. Because it’s people who will help you along the way. We do business with people, we work with people we have to get along with people. Finally, the story illustrates that little wealthy people are as bad as the media betrayed them to be or as they are betrayed in the media. They often betrayed as fat cats to live in their ivory towers away from everybody else, but actually they are more often than not nice people who do a lot to help the community and the charities they support without making a song and dance about it.
