Oxford Fiddle Group Concert



It's been a busy year for the Oxford Fiddle Group. There have been many bookings and listed below are some that were particularly special.
In October 2007, we played in concerts and a barn dance in Bonn, Germany. The first photo above shows us performing at an open air concert in the city centre. I'm playing my Dean 5 string acoustic/electric bass guitar.
In April 2008 we performed on the main stage at the Oxford Folk Festival. This took place in the Oxford Town Hall and the second photo shows the performance. I'm playing my double bass.
We are playing at our second concert in six months at the Jacqueline Du Pre Building, St Hilda's College, Oxford OX1 4DY on 1st June 2008 starting at 8pm.

Tickets are £10 (£8 concessions) and are available from Tickets Oxford, The Oxford Playhouse, Beaumont Street, OXFORD, OX1 2LW or

We are working on our second CD which should be available from early Autumn 2008.
The Oxford Fiddle Group meets every Tuesday 8-10.30pm in Headington Quarry Village Hall, Oxford to play folk tunes from the British Isles, Europe and the USA. About 20 fiddles plus accompaniament from guitar, double bass, concertina and celtic harp make up the group.
