Oxfordshire

Daisy Rodgers Music is very excited to bring you 3 brilliant new acts, two of them playing their first Oxford gig. Come see them at the Jericho Tavern, Oxford on Friday September 17. Doors @ 8pm. £5 on the door, and only £2.74 in advance, plus you get a free vote, to be explained later.

Dead Jerichos
Are they the best young Oxfordshire band around at the moment? Winning countless battle of the band competitions including Radio One DJ Bob Harris' personal selection for Truck. These trio bring their post pop punk to the Jericho Tavern. Not to be missed. Download track 'Red Dancefloor'.

Lunar Maria
They have only recorded one track. We listened. We loved it. Come see them play their debut gig and when they are massive tell your mates 'I was there'. We would describe this indie outfit as a Bowie inspired Death Cab for Cutie 5 piece - check out their (only) track 'A dream within a Dream'.

Felix & Fox
Singer songwriter Ruben takes time out from Minor Coles to hook up with Henrietta Fox to play their debut Oxford gig. Playing warm and beautiful acoustic folk in the style of Flaming Lips meets Bon Iver. Check out the rather ace track 'Circles'.

Una Healy, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King and Vanessa White are experts on the live circuit having performed to thousands last year on their sold out 2009 tour and have since dazzled fans at festivals across the country.

Tickets are £25 and are on sale now.

The Tree, Iffley is hosting the first of six monthly jazz concerts, to be held on the 2nd Weds of each month

On Sept 8 2010 they will be hosting a tribute to Frank Sinatra, from 8pm to 10.30pm, featuring ATILA, one of the most popular and sought after jazz singers today.
Whether he was called "The Voice," "Ol' Blue Eyes," or "The Chairman of the Board," Frank Sinatra's nicknames all conveyed the adulation and respect reserved for a man who is commonly thought of as the best American popular singer of the 20th century. His voice, whether in song or spoken word, caressed the ears of millions of listeners for more than five decades. Sinatra's legacy - countless songs and more than 70 films - continue to ensure him the kind of popularity that has reached beyond the grave to elevate him past the status of mere icon to that of cultural institution.
