This exciting trio perform an eclectic potage of original and refreshing music. Their influences are many and varied, and include, but are certainly not limited to Jazz, Greek Folk, Funk, Stravinsky, John Cage, Death-Metal and the theme from Countdown!

The Oxford Waits
Event number: 30
The Guildhall, 8pm
£12.50
The Oxford Waits take their name from the band of city musicians who flourished in Oxford during the 17th Century.
The performers appear in period costume, and their concerts are enlivened by street ballads, dance tunes, airs and rounds as well as readings from diarists and poets. Superb singing voices are matched by specialist skills in an array of instruments that include fiddle, bagpipes, lute, cittern, harpsichord, pipe and tabor, hurdy-gurdy, shawm, flute and percussion. The Guildhall will provide the perfect setting for their Restoration music, song and ancient instruments.
