Musical Events in the Banbury Area

Posted on by simonminter

Saturday July 11 sees the village of Middleton Cheney play host to the annual Middleton Music Festival, a ten hour festival of back-to-back live music. Apart from the music stage, there will be a funfair, bar, real ale tent and a travelling recording studio, The RockHopper. Most familiar act to Oxfordbands.com viewers will be rock/indie/ska act The Keyz. In addition, the show will feature the likes of local indie heroes The Sirens Call and ceilidh band The Quiet Men. Tickets are now on sale from various outlets in Banbury, (see website) and will also be selling in the Castle Quay shopping centre in Banbury on Saturday 4th July from 9am to 5.30pm (look out for the crew in the fluorescent orange polo shirts).

Earlier in the month, David Saw will be performing at Chalky’s on Banbury High Street at 5 p.m on Tuesday 2 July. Saw is a respected singer-songwriter who has worked with Ben Taylor and Carly Simon in the past. The gig, which is free,  is to promote his new album ‘Broken Down Figure’.

  • jamess

    narp – the original quiet men are all dead, but that doesn’t stop me being intensely hacked off with these folky mincers stealing our name. There’s at least 38 zillion words in the dictionary, so you’d hope they could think of summat of their own……

    ute are assholes. they didnt even play glastonbury. it was all a lie.

  • Alan C

    Thats not really relevant here. But I did hear about it and to be honest I didnt believe it. The day Ute play Glastonbury is the day they begin writing decent tunes. Enough said

    Also, living in middleton cheney. I look forward to this event. A pretty good line up

    Yeah should be a good day, we (The Keyz) will also be playing at The Bullingdon Arms on 8th July – our first gig in Oxford for over a year, should be pretty cool!!
