Restless Oceans
Restless Oceans is a 4-pieice acoustic band from Oxfordshire and Bucks, playing upbeat folk-rock inspired originals.
The group thrives on bringing together their voices, guitars and violin, with enticing percussion, to create a unique blend of catchy riffs with intricate vocal and instrumental harmonies.
The Sepia Folk Collective
Lucy Amos and Richie Knight have been playing for just over two years as The Sepia Tone Folk Collective. They play their own original songs which are influenced by many different styles of folk music, and some of their own songs are written in the styles of centuries’ old traditional English / Irish folk music, to Appalachian folk, Americana country ballads, and even the Delta blues.
Richie plays the guitar, the harmonica, and the piano, singing backing harmonies, whilst Lucy plays a variety of percussion instruments and sings lead vocals.
Original recorded albums include ‘Feeling Restless’, ‘No Change In Me I and II’, ‘Songs In Sepia’ and ‘Thirteen Thoughts On Solace’. Our latest EP ‘Way Back When’ is also out now! All of our music can all be found on Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify:

Hogers Wolf
Hogers Wolf is Andy Hoger an Oxfordshire based singer songwriter inspired by the greats of the late 1960’s and 1970’s. Drawing on Folk, Rock and Progressive styles to shape his style of song writing his sound has been likened to Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Roy Harper and Ian Anderson (if you know who these greats of yester year are?).
Based out of Chalgrove’s little home studio Andy has been producing Eps and singles that are available on all the usual streaming channels. He is gigging the local Bucks, Berks and Oxon scenes and is a regular at many of the local music venues and festivals.
The Time Travellers
The Time Travellers will take you back to a time when music was fun. Steering clear of the norm they will entertain you with renditions from Cash, Presley, Orbison, Everly’s, Beatles, to name but a few. A mix of real rock and roll, rockabilly and country delivered in their own unique acoustic style with vocal harmonies makes them a huge hit wherever they go.
Dave Bradley
If a solo singer & guitarist playing songs by Stereophonics, Oasis, The Killers, Crowded House (and more of that type of thing) is what you need to brighten up your day, then look no further than Dave B Music!!!
Dave is the lead singer from local cover band gods “The Band With No Name”, who may or not know he’s cheating on them, so see him quick before they find out!
Kiera Gabrielle
Paul Edmonds & Ross Hardman
Paul & Ross met in the Summer of 2022 at a Thame Concert Band rehearsal. After discovering that Ross also sang and that they shared a love for the sound of voice and piano, Paul had the idea of recording an album of songs in his studio. This resulted in a collaboration which also showcases Paul’s piano playing in an eclectic mix of songs and styles.
Hugh Anderson
Hugh is an accomplished and engaging pianist and songwriter. He grew up in Nottinghamshire and studied classical piano, before moving to Durham University where he formed his first band inspired by Ben Folds Five and E.S.T. This later morphed into the alt-pop band Towma, an upbeat piano-led trio with original songs and rich harmonies. He has since worked with artists such as Phoebe Katis, Aaron Spiers (RavenEye) and Georgia Van Etten. He completed his training as a Music Therapist at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 2016 and set up Thame Music Therapy in January 2023.
Beth Coate
Beth Coate is a musician from Abingdon, Oxfordshire and is accompanied by her good friend and guitarist Aidi Spencer. They cover lots of genres and ages across various covers that are fun for all.
Simon Gregory
Simon has been playing for longer than he’s willing to admit. He’s lead singer with popular Oxfordshire rockers Innuendo, but his solo acoustic show is more eclectic and his original songs touch on love, loss, identity and family ties. If he can make you laugh, cry, or at least, think – his job is done.
Camino
Formed in the winter of 2023, Camino is a new band on the Ox/Bucks music scene. Camino sees the coming together of 5 very experienced musicians, all driven by their shared love of classic Harmonic Rock from the Seventies through to the Noughties, combined with a good helping of dance grooves from the Motown Soul and Disco eras.
The 5-piece line up is:
Bec Langstone [‘Soul City’] – Lead vocals
Nick Dutton [‘2am Blue’] – Guitar and backing vocals
Vanessa Kemp [‘OX9’] – Keyboards and backing vocals
Tim Dugher [‘60’s Jukebox’] – Bass guitar and backing vocals
Chris Smith [‘Soul City’] – Drums
We’re aiming to mix the Perfect Party Cocktail: songs to listen to – to sing along to – and to strut your stuff to!
To give you a flavour of the Camino sound, here’s a selection of the artists we currently cover: Fleetwood Mac • Carly Simon • Elton John • Cher • Billy Joel • Linda Ronstadt • Alanis Morissette • Tina Turner • Aretha Franklin • Shania Twain • Beverley Knight • Randy Crawford.
Taylor & Girish
Taylor & Girish are a husband-wife indie folk duo based in Oxford. Having been recently interviewed and featured on BBC Introducing Oxford & Berkshire, they are currently working on their debut EP ‘You Never Can Tell’ due to be released later this year.
Like all true artists, their music reflects their lives. Vasu Girish, a scientist from India with a master’s in biological engineering and Adam Taylor, a jazz musician from the U.K. met by chance in the Netherlands and from then formed a musical world which incorporates the richness of their story.
Their sound is a unique, rootsy blend of genres including folk, blues and bluegrass, with tight harmonies and intricate guitar work. Their music equally draws from the singer-songwriter lineage of the 60’s and 70’s; artists such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Paul Simon as it does from the modern writers such as Phoebe Bridgers, Ben Howard and Laura Marling.
The duo will be playing a mix of their originals and covers.
