Sense
Of Place
Bristol
International Sense
of Place
initiative seeks to create an enhanced, relaxing
and stimulating environment for our travelling passengers,
visitors and customers. Airports are often perceived
as clinical, public spaces associated with the stresses
of journeying by air. We would like to ensure that
all our passengers enjoy not only an exceptional level
of customer service but also benefit from a positive
and interactive environment that reflects the identity
of the South West. Sense of Place also offers an invaluable
platform to artists, performers and community projects
from around the region to showcase their individual
forms of entertainment and creative art.
On
5th August 2007, The Mangledwurzels played two live
sets in the Airport Foyer as part of the project.
Amongst the travelling customers was a a rather jet-lagged
Acker Bilk on his way back home to
Pensford. I suspect we rather scared the pants off
him who must have seen Hedge and thought it was Adge
Cutler welcoming him to the afterlife. Acker,
many apologies!
