As part of a slightly-bizarre series of gigs called ‘Homecoming’, The Young Knives will perform at the Oxford Academy on Sunday 21 December. According to Academy Events, the shows see established musicians ‘paying homage to their roots and crafting a bill of live music from their stomping ground’ – it will be interesting to see which Oxford stars will be picked out by TYK for the show, which goes on sale this Thursday (23 October). Oxford gets the best end of the deal, with Liverpool getting The Rascals, and Dogs being chosen to represent London for some unfathomable reason.
