@kbromfield @DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno Ultimately, the mistaken perception is that we have materially benefited from the enslavement of human beings. As a charity which is trying to promote how music can bring us together, this is proving to be a big barrier. Hopefully you'll still come and enjoy music here too Kevin.

@kbromfield @DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno To ensure that our new vision (or organisational purpose) best reflects our role in the city we are asking the people of Bristol their views. Take our online survey or come and talk to us at a Community Consultation Day and help shape our future. https://t.co/0XvF5hBu8L 2/2/

@kbromfield @DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno Great to see our decision to change our name is inspiring debate as we feel this discussion is impt. Our brand & vision (or our purpose as an org) is to create unity & joy through live music. This vision is more than a sign above a door & should reflect our role in the city. 1/2

@kbromfield @DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno The name Colston does not reflect our brand or vision. Due to this, and as the hall was build 150 years after Edward Colston's death with none of his money, we took the decision to change our name in 2017.

@kbromfield @DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno Hi Kevin, that's not true, many people who live in Bristol feel the name Colston and its connections to the transatlantic slave trade are a barrier to them attending events at the Hall. (1/2)

@DavidSm72457325 @amias @bristol247 @beardedjourno Hi David. The decision was taken by the Board of Trustees with the support of the City Council to ensure all people in Bristol will feel welcome and proud of their music venue following our redevelopment. We believe music should be for everyone and the name is a barrier for many.
