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 host a monthly radio show on Bristol’s Noods. You can listen live every 3rd Sunday of the month from 5-7pm. We broadcast from the basement studio in Mickey Zoggs. The full box set of radio shows is also available via our archives.
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.”
