Tyburn Road

Ian Giles & Dave Townsend have been singing and playing together for more years than either will readily admit to. They are two of the most recognizable (and hairy) faces on the Oxfordshire folk scene, who bring to the stage a wealth of experience performing, touring and researching traditional songs & music. With voices, concertina and melodeon, they offer a delightful repertoire of unusual songs and tunes.

Their comfortable and relaxed style of presentation makes the perfect setting for their commitment to the material and their consummate musicianship. Their first album Rogues & Rovers appeared in 2018.

The Oakstone Trio

After years of playing together on the Oxford session scene and in the folk clubs, the boys came together in 2022 for a gig at Oxford Folk Weekend.

Louis Thurman (melodeons, vocals), Mitch Keely (guitar, vocals), and Joshua Newman (fiddle, viola, vocals) combine a nuanced, improvisatory approach to tunes with energy and warmth, allowing seldom-heard melodies to escape old manuscripts and giving well-loved session tunes the space to find new directions. They pair new compositions with old tunes and solo ballads with harmony chorus songs.

They’ve worked with the Bodleian Library to deliver performances and workshops attached to their Playford exhibition The Dancing Master, and in other projects they have played sold-out gigs at festivals in Oxford, Kent, and at the Green Note in London; played the session stage at Beautiful Days Festival in 2021 and 2022; and supported Nancy Kerr and James Fagan.
