Meet the promoter of Bristol Sounds - Conal Dodds
Bristol Post
|June 20, 2025
What's your role at Bristol Sounds? I'm the promoter and book the headline acts each year. We have a great team here at Crosstown Concerts, so thankfully on the show days my role these days is quite relaxed, I just get to hang out with a lot of fun people and musicians.

Who are you most looking forward to seeing this year and why?
That's a tricky one as I think all the shows have something great to offer. I've always been a Supergrass fan and have never worked with them before so this will be a great way to open this year’s event on Wednesday (June 25). Also, I was sent a CD by a band manager when I promoted my very first show back in 1989 - I didn’t even have a CD player at the time and it was the first CD I'd ever been sent - it was the first single by Texas, so I am glad to have finally rounded that circle.
When does the preparation for Bristol Sounds begin and how do you choose the acts?
