Oxford bands seem to be fully embracing the video age recently – admittedly thirty years after MTV launched, but what the hey, a lot of local musicians (Black Hats, Shattered Dreams, Nikki Loy, Listing Ships…) are putting together really good stuff at the moment, so let’s not dwell on history. Stop being such a Negative Nigel, why don’t you? It’s a new year. Get some positivity! It’ll be summer soon.

Anyway. ‘Big Top’ is the lead track from Alphabet Backwards’ most recent ‘British Explorer EP’, and this sumptuous, slightly freaky video was filmed at Abingdon’s Unicorn Theatre, adding to the lovely imagery. Enjoy!
