The April Oxford Slow Session is on this Sunday, 7th April at 4pm, upstairs at the White House pub. The Tune of the month for this month is Father Kelly’s.
There is an extra Slow Session this month as part of the Oxford Folk Festival at the earlier time of 2pm on Sunday 21st April.
Unfortunately, I don’t have many confirmed details for the Folk Festival, except that I can recommend you buy your tickets for the Saturday night ceilidh (20th April in St Barnabas Church) before they sell out! Oxfolk are organising several ceilidhs over that weekend so check out other dances too.
Also at the Folk Festival, in the Westgate Library is hosting a FREE folk workshop for primary-age children from 11 to 11.45am, and a FREE Youth Group Taster Session for secondary-age children from 12 to 12.45pm (all children need an accompanying adult).
Today (Friday 5th April) and (first Fridays of the month) is Bandcamp Friday! This means 100% of the money for music bought on Bandcamp Friday goes to the musicians. For example, you might like to look at music by Mike Vass (composer of Cavers of Kirdcubright), Blowzabella (Lord Frog and Motorway Mazurka), Imar (L’Air Mignonne), Talisk (Hills of Kaitoke), Martin Hayes, and The Owl Light Trio, amongst others!
Just in case you need a reminder of some of the new tunes added to the website since Christmas…
The Teetotallers
L’Air Mignonne
A Fig for a Kiss
Father Kelly’s
I Buried My Wife and Danced on her Grave
Lord Frog
Midsommerschottish
That should keep us busy up to the summer!
