(FooFighters/Oceansize/Idlewild/Pixies), having just been released.
www.myspace.com/thedacoits The Follys – Trev Williams, Luke Gerry and Paul Hancock have recently been busy writing new songs for their forthcoming follow up EP “Maps to Nowhere”. This will be the first Oxford performance of the new songs set to be released early next year. www.myspace.com/thefollys High Risby – Stefano and Alice write surreal, catchy and quirky acoustic songs about almost everything.
Sometimes folk/rock can have a wry smile instead of fey self-indulgence! www.myspace.com/highrisby Bethany Weimers – Bethany is an Oxfordshire-based singer, songwriter and composer. She mesmerises audiences with her captivating unique voice and beautiful infectious folk-tinged songs about love, life and days gone by.
Beautiful, haunting and infectious songs.
