ABOUT
Inspired by the endless quest for the perfect beat,
A Better Break is a space for long-form writing about music, art and what happens when they merge. In the age of the 8-second attention span, this is a platform for in-depth pieces about cultural topics from authors with no agenda other than sharing ideas without constraints. We look at things from a different perspective...
Produced by the team behind The Pool, we also run a fortnightly radio show on Bristol’s Noods Radio. You can listen live every other Wednesday from 5-7pm, or via the archive.
We welcome all topics, please get in touch if you have an idea for a feature.
With thanks to our contributors.

“Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or A Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.”
