Vintage by the Sea 10 Year Anniversary Special - The After Party

With DJ's Andy Smith (Portishead)

Paul Thornton, Wayne Heminway, Sie Norfolk and Shaun Foran

In modern day musical history it has become incredibly difficult to be considered a ‘pioneer’. With so much having gone before, to be able to push the envelope, especially in a time of great change like the 90s, you have to be an exceptional talent – enter DJ Andy Smith! 

The first ever DJ to release a multi-genre mixed compilation on a major label, paving the way for the masses that have come along since. “The Document” album series became the framework which others followed and Andy was soon counted among the Top 20 DJs of all time by influential media outlets such as Future Music Magazine and Music Radar. 

Andy Smith was born and bred in Portishead, a stone’s throw from the city that has spawned an unrivalled talent list when it comes to electronic music. A county with huge music heritage from Trip Hop, Bass and DnB from names like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Roni Size, Kosheen, and many more. There must be something in the water that produces such notable genius, as Bristolians clearly know their beats!

Expect everything from Disco, Boogie and House to Hip Hop, Funk and Soul. 

Andy can turn his hand to pretty much any genre and has an unrivalled ability to stitch together a story that can ‘document’ a moment in time perfectly. Rave reviews of his music and DJ’ing have come from every corner of the globe. 

In our mind there is no better DJ to honour this 10 Year Anniversary Special for Vintage by the Sea.

Andy is of a breed of DJ that transcends the ordinary and goes way into the extraordinary – a DJ that you absolutely want to have strutted your stuff to, live, in the flesh and without inhibitions before you even contemplate hanging up your dancing shoes!

We've curated a line up our good friends to lead you into Andy's set, we invite you to join us from 7:30pm for eclectic sets transending the decades from our very own founder Wayne Heminway MBE along with those who've been with us since the beginning, Paul Thornton, Shaun Foran and Sie Norfolk taking you right through to 1am.
