The Naked Guide to Bristol: Not All Guide Books are the Same (Naked Guides) - Softcover

Gil Gillespie first started going out in Bristol when he was 14 and has enjoyed or endured many thousands of evenings in the pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs of the city ever since. Remarkably, he has also found the time to carve out a career as one of the most outstanding and outspoken magazine writers in the country and has sounded off about subjects including music, football, television, movies, technology, politics and culture for magazines such as Total Football, Venue, Select, Football Italia, Big Issue, .net Directory, Connect, Focus and Comedy Review. He lives in Bishopston with his long-term girlfriend Lucy and their two goldfish called Bobo and Buffon. Richard Jones first came to the public's attention as the fresh-faced pop page editor of the previously unhappening Bristol Evening Post. From here, he introduced the city to exciting new beat combos such as Massive Attack and Smith & Mighty and was one of the first to document the arrival of the so-called Bristol sound. It wasn't long before he was headhunted by Future Publishing and, despite being a lifelong Rovers fan, offered a dream appointment as the editor of Total Football magazine. He now runs his own publishing company. His passions include roots reggae (1973-1985) and bemoaning the poor standard of night-time recreational facilities south of the river. He lives in Totterdown with his partner Maggie and their two children Caitlin and Mena.
