The Rumours are true: a Fleetwood Mac Candlelight is coming to Bristol! Known for their dreamy rock melodies and insightful lyrics, the British-American rock band are one of the world’s best-selling bands, with over 120 million records sold worldwide. And you can experience their groundbreaking hits like never before at this intimate concert in Bristol.
The intriguing Mount Without will be lit up by hundreds of candles as a violinist and pianist perform a selection of hits by the legendary group in a new, pared back way.
Candlelight Tribute to Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac’s popularity is unwaning as their timeless hits continue to delight music lovers. Their legendary 1977 album Rumours launched them into fame with Rolling Stone ranking it as the seventh greatest album of all time. The supergroup’s diverse sound and passionate lyrics find the beauty in darkness. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998, Fleetwood Mac’s influence is undeniable.
As Fleetwood Mac have rocked the music industry for nearly 50 years, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’ve heard the best renditions and covers of their works already; however, a piano and violin duo, Bloomsbury Music Duo, will bring brand-new versions of favourites, like “The Chain” and “Gypsy”, “Gold Dust Women”, and more to your ears.
Find your seat at The Mount Without, a 15th-century building that was once a church, and is now a buzzing entertainment venue. The candles will illuminate the intricate ceiling mural and stained glass windows, creating an even more magical atmosphere, alongside the delicate notes of the instruments.
There will be two, 60-minute performances on the evening, one at 7pm and another at 9pm – some might say, you can Go Your Own Way when it comes to picking the Candlelight concert that suits you best.
