Euros Childs posterEuros Childs: A full-band show in support of the release of his brand new solo album. Formerly of psychedelic/folk rockers Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci and one half of the acclaimed Jonny with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, Euros Childs makes an eagerly anticipated return to Oxford for the first time since 2008. When asked what kind of music he plays by taxi drivers or distant relatives Euros replies “It’s pop music with a bit of folk music thrown in, sometimes synthesizers are used, sometimes pianos or guitars. But it’s always rock n roll”.

Laura J Martin: In January 2012 Laura J Martin released her eagerly anticipated debut album The Hangman Tree on Static Caravan as well as the EP Bonus Skor a collaborative project she did in Iceland with Mike Lindsay (Tunng). Armed with a flute ready for wrangling, mandolin and a loop station, she sings over her loops and beats. Follow-up album, Dazzle Days, is set for release this autumn.

The Wellgreen: A blend of sixties songwriting, psychedelia and early powerpop, The Wellgreen swear by vintage-style recording techniques to make their records sound classic and timeless. They strip back live performances to a completely organic two-piece, powered by their signature two part harmony. Accompanied by guitars, percussion and retro Casio tones, they offer a unique alternative to the full band sound, constantly captivating audiences with their intimate performances.
