Bristol has beaten the likes of Manchester, Liverpool and London to be named Britain's most musical city in a new survey.

According to research by the Performing Rights Society (PRS), the West Country location has spawned more musical talent - including Tricky, Massive Attack and Portishead - than any other U.K. city.

Using data from the 65,000-strong PRS database of artists, the survey placed Cardiff as the second most fertile place and Wakefield in third.

Despite having the most musicians based there in total, London only placed 26th on the list as the rankings were weighted against the size of each city's population.

Speaking to BBC News, PRS chairman Ellis Rich said: "Bristol has been a longstanding contributor to the British music scene, constantly injecting its unique pizzazz of trip-hop and rock bands.

"The city's culture has always warmed to an eclectic music dynamic, paving the way forward for many of the country's greatest venues whilst also inspiring a hotbed of music talent."

The list in full runs as follows:

1. Bristol
2. Cardiff
3. Wakefield
4. Glasgow
5. Cheltenham
6. Edinburgh
7. Manchester
8. Paisley
9. Doncaster
10. Londonderry
