In their original form they were 2 women and 2 men, the objective being to show that women and men can work together as equals.

Lesley Woods led the band as frontperson, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist. Lesley was once described as “”one of the most striking women in British rock”.

Their first album 'Playing With A Different Sex' is a post-punk classic and focusses on gender and other politics. A critic from The Guardian praised it for its “viciously well-observed lyrics on contemporary life, love and the role of women “.

The band is re-forming beginning 2026 when they commence a UK tour with Lesley Woods and new members. The 2 women/2 men balance remains .

Au Pairs blend political lyrics with a tough funk-dance-rock idiom which is as relevant today as it ever was.

They met at school in Minehead, Somerset and make music together at home in Bristol. Their highly lauded debut album Crisps was released in November 2023 via Breakfast Records presenting eclectic, danceable grooves and astute, hilarious put-downs of modern Britain.

They are steadily carving out a name for themselves and building momentum with their ballsto-the-wall live performances and prestigious shows with Pip Blom, Fat Dog, The Bug Club, Donny Benet, and Antony Szmierek – among many others. The band completed their biggest ever sold out headline UK tour in autumn 2024 after their vastly praised new EP release “Your Medal’s In The Post”, out on November 14th 2024, followed closely by their first ever sold out EU tour in January 2025. Their new EP 'Primordial Slot Machine' arrives on June 6th.

BDP’s Bristol Sober Spaces

New partnership kicks off with sober event headlined by Roni Size and Nicky Blackmarket

A new partnership between Trinity and Bristol Drugs Project’s Creative Communities, rooted in shared values of creativity, connection and inclusion kicks off with a line-up feat Bristol's Drum & Bass Legends

Creative Communities is BDP’s long-running arts programme, supporting people affected by drug and alcohol use through weekly creative groups and events. For over ten years, the programme has helped participants build confidence, express themselves and reconnect through creativity.

At Trinity, we believe in the power of the arts to empower communities. As one of Bristol’s largest grassroots venues and a vital cultural space that prioritises meeting the needs of the communities we serve through arts, music and cultural events, this partnership is a natural step forward.

Together, we’re proud to offer a programme of sober, inclusive events and creative groups that prioritise connection and wellbeing.

This Sunday, 3 Aug, we launch the first in a series of sober club events at Trinity as part of our new partnership, Summer Day Rave, headlined by none other than Roni Size and Nicky Blackmarket.

When asked what he enjoys about Bristol Sober Spaces events, Nicky Blackmarket said:

"This crowd has got so much energy. At the last event, I remember playing and the atmosphere was incredible, the vibe had incredible energy - mad"

This event marks Trinity’s official recognition as one of BDP’s Bristol Sober Spaces, offering people the chance to enjoy world-class music in a welcoming and substance-free environment.

With nature images, stories, songs & loop station, New Stories is an interactive, free sensory workshop that encourages emotional wellbeing in new parents and their little ones.

At the end of Spring Jude joined the team as the Heritage Project Manager to lead on community engagement at Jacobs Wells Baths, supporting the consultation process as well as developing exciting arts and heritage activities.

Jude has extensive experience from managing the Circomedia Centre for Contemporary Circus and Physical Theatre in St. Paul's, a Grade II listed building that transformed from a church to a performance space.

Since then, she has worked with Wellspring Settlement in Barton Hill to co-design and deliver creative research projects in partnership with University of Bristol. Her special focus has been on engaging with and amplifying residents’ voices around key social issues, experience she's bringing into this role.

She met with Rachel McNally, Hotwells & Cliftonwood Community Association Chair, as well as Sally Silverman and members of Jacobs Wells Hub to hear about previous community use and enjoyment of Jacobs Wells Baths as well as needs and ideas for activities that are bubbling up for members.

“I’m now in the process of meeting with stakeholders and residents to develop ideas for activities which explore the importance of the building in the past, such as reminiscence events gathering memories, as well as ideas for its use in the future in the form of community consultations alongside the architects” Jude explains. “There will also be opportunities for creative activities celebrating the story and importance of the building particularly its development as an inclusive and dynamic dance space for learning and international performance as Bristol Community Dance Centre. We are also really interested in celebrating the committed action of local residents and activists to protect Jacobs Wells Baths as a community space for public use.”

While the building is currently inaccessible due to structural work on the roof and decontamination work, we hope to offer site tours for Heritage Doors Open Day on the 20th and 21st September. There is a great deal of work yet to be undertaken and funds to be raised, regular activities in the building are some way off so we will be meeting in other spaces.

Alongside being very excited to start the journey of imagining the new space with the local community, Jude is particularly looking forward to opportunities to connect with the residents with opportunities to get involved with reminiscence events, arts activities as well as consultation events this Autumn.

Join us on 13th August at Trinity Arts for ‘I Danced At Jacobs Wells’ to share memories, photos and film clips from Bristol Community Dance Centre’s heritage and consider its role in the future.

To join the mailing list and receive updates and invitations for events – or to express your interest in getting involved in community consultations please contact Jude on jude@trinitybristol.org.uk or 07352616234.

They conjure sky-shaking and boundary-bursting rock ‘n’ roll by invoking spirits of Ancient myth, traditional folklore, and Delta-born blues in one concentrated musical incantation. In the band, 21st century guitar hero, innovator, songwriter, and GRAMMY® Award-winning Greta Van Fleet co-founder Jake Kiszka not only shares vocal and guitar duties with critically acclaimed co-vocalist and guitarist Chris Turpin of Ida Mae, but he also shines as a producer and songwriter, stepping out on his own. Working and song writing in tandem with Jake and curating this vision side-by-side, Chris has emerged as a perfect creative partner, adding yet another dimension to MIRADOR.

As part of the restoration of Jacobs Wells Baths as a community and arts hub we at Trinity would love to understand its role for the dance community.

Refreshments will be available.

Jacobs Wells Baths Archive
Do you have photos, documents, posters, flyers of your events at Bristol Community Dance Centre?  Would you share them with us at Trinity for the Jacobs Wells Baths archive?

Come along to Trinity on Wednesday 13th August 18:30 – 21:00 if you would like to share your memories with us, or alternatively, contact info@trinitybristol.org.uk to arrange a time to meet with Edson Burton.
