Bristle

I see that Jorge Peguero y su Orquesa are at Fiesta Havana in Bristol next week. I saw them there a few weeks ago and he was advertised as a 'silky smooth sonero' which is a long way from the truth: they're pretty rough and raucous and were too bloody loud.

Usually a good atmosphere there on Friday nights, though. Tomorrow they're competing with DJ Janey in the BAWA club in Filton which I'm going to try to get to if I still have any energy left: I used to go to salsa events there a couple of years ago and it's a great venue (big wooden dancefloor, cheap drinks, and not too far away). Janey is the universally excellent DJ at the Claverton Rooms.
