Photo of Elvin Cole Elvin Cole "These guys are great, all excellent musicians, great mix of music, good humour and banter with the audience. Seen them a few times now and they never disappoint. Clive Fletcher, Sunday 1 March 2026" Based in Reading, England (24 miles from Oxford) 20th March 2026 The whishing Well, Hay's - Clive Fletcher Photo of Rev Ferriday Rev Ferriday "Check out the good Reverend on the internet and you’ll see this outfit described as “somewhere between Johnny Cash and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds” with “similar artists” given as Seasick Steve and Eddie Martin – to which I might add, on the evidence of this lowdown and dirty blues CD, The Rolling Stones (60s version) and maybe vintage Canned Heat. Reverend plays guitar and drums, and he is aided and abetted by Owen Bray on guitar and blues harp, with Neil Sadler also providing bass and drum support. Ferriday started out playing indie-rock in the 80s and was working in National Debt with Michael Messer (and Bray) around the start of the millennium. This is his second album under his own name and the leader’s vocals are thick and mean, the songs direct and energetic, the sound gritty, raw, and real, with elements of the hard-driving North Mississippi hill country approach in places, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and more than a tinge of alt-blues. A thoroughly modern blues album in other words, whilst drawing from the deep well of blues tradition, check it out. Norman Darwen" Based in Reading, England (24 miles from Oxford) Norman Darwen - Blues Matters Photo of Jukebox James Jukebox James "Thank you so very much for your fantastic music which was so great absolutely made our party we think! You have such a wonderful voice & your songs were all so great." Based in Swindon, England (26 miles from Oxford) Verity C Photo of Julian Christopher Julian Christopher "Julian played the saxophone for the first hour as our guests arrived for my dad's birthday, and he was absolutely brilliant. His performance created the perfect atmosphere and set the tone for a wonderful celebration. The music was elegant, relaxed, and beautifully played, with everyone commenting on how much they enjoyed it. Julian was professional, friendly, and a pleasure to have at the event. His talent really added something special to the day, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic saxophonist for their event." Based in Leighton Buzzard, England (28 miles from Oxford) 4th August 2026 Ruby O’brien - 60th birthday party Photo of Karl E A Presley Productions Karl E A Presley Productions "I booked karl (Elvis) for a small family party in my back garden last Saturday, he was easy to book a few what’s app messages and all sorted. He is super reliable even though he had a tooth op the the day before and was on meds and he had been in hospital all night the day before as is mother in law was ill. Karl was brilliant, he really sounded like Elvis and moved like Elvis and was a right laugh. He got everyone dancing and singing and was hamming it up, which everyone loved. He really made the day special. Thanks Karl" Based in Dunstable, England (33 miles from Oxford) Louise Marian - Family covid after party Photo of Jef Clark Jef Clark "As requested.
