Chris Brain emerged out of Leeds’ vibrant folk scene in 2022 with his debut, critically acclaimed and widely distributed album, Bound to Rise, reaching Number 22 in the UK Folk Charts. His much-anticipated second album, Steady Away, moves inward and takes on a more self-reflective quality, whilst retaining glimmers of soaring figures and pastoral imagery. Brain’s distinctive warm vocal and finger-picked guitar style are sustained alongside expansive strings and delicate piano arrangements, taking shape through evolving and introspective impressions on tenderness, loss, pain and awe in nature. Glancing off The Nave’s eaved ceilings with natural reverb, Steady Away’s 11 tracks, recorded by Tom Orrell, capture the intimacy of Chris’ songwriting. Steady Away further embeds Chris Brain within the contemporary folk scene, whilst gesturing towards the folk tradition. His commitment to folk is only deepened by the two folk clubs and folk festival in Leeds that Chris founded and runs, attracting a wide range of audiences and musicians alike.

Very excited to bring the great art-pop five-piece Garden Centre to Oxford for a headline show as part of their late spring UK tour! Support from Max Blansjaar. ★★★★★ Garden Centre is a band formed out of necessity. In the beginning, its purpose was to tell the story of a group of people who found themselves drawn to an abandoned plant nursery in southern England. This project complete, the band turned its guileless art-pop (Guardian) towards the exploration of other topics: perhaps most notably energy drink consumption (2018's Monster Energy) and holes (2021's A Moon For Digging). More recently, the band's frontman, Max Levy, has been searching for a steady stream. A stream to watch sports on, a stream to glean information from, a stream to wade in. Searching For A Stream, Garden Centre's fourth and newest full-length album, is populated by narrators whose immediate realities are clouded by nostalgia and superstition, turbid with the glory and pain of other people. A train guard who usually takes pleasure in telling jokes over the intercom can no longer spin his pain into a punchline (he's just seen a horrific injury on TV). A man, asleep at his desk, sings frantically and fondly about his own personally curated hall of fame. A kid interrupts an important conversation with the sound of his dirt bike. Levy's voice throughout is as urgent as a sea urchin sting, piercing scattered memories and mundanities in search of a deeper connection: a stream, the promise of resonance. The band has toured extensively across the UK and abroad with the likes of Dry Cleaning and Porridge Radio (with whom Garden Centre shares members), and has also found a fan in Frank Ocean, who has playlisted Garden Centre multiple times on his popular Blonded radio show. ★★★★★ Max Blansjaar was born in Amsterdam, raised in Oxford, and recorded his debut album in Brooklyn. In late 2017 he started to experiment with his unique brand of lo-fi pop music, capturing attention on the DIY scene with a seamless combination of chunky grunge guitars, jagged samples and intelligent, witty lyricism'since then, his energetic live shows have seen him support acts including Personal Trainer, Young Knives, and Jeffrey Lewis. His debut album False Comforts, produced by Katie Von Schleicher and Nate Mendelsohn (Frankie Cosmos, Sam Evian, Caroline Says), was released in 2024, drawing support from outlets including BBC 6Music, The Post, and Brooklyn Vegan. ★★★★★ This show is suitable for all ages. Under-14s must be accompanied by an adult.

Common Ground presents artists Jack Goodall and Hannah Lou Larsen for a wonderful night of live music! About Jack: Jack Goodall is back with a new self-titled album mixing alternative rock and electronic soul and minimalism. Live he plays with a new bunch of virtuoso musicians based in their home city of Birmingham. Having studied and played with musicians such as bluesmen Ian Siegal and afrobeat star Dele Sosimi, these experiences are now more than ever being channeled into Goodall's own idiosyncratic music and performance style. His shows are involving and high energy. Beautiful music, I love it. Guy Garvey, BBC6 Music, Elbow About Hannah: Hannah Lou Larsen is a Danish-born, Oxford-based multi-instrumentalist blending chamber pop, introspective folk, and electronic textures.

She is a former Roundhouse Resident artist, has played support for Mary Lattimore and Josephine Foster, and has recently been touring with Oxford artist and YWMP director Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani, including Supersonic Festival.

Join us for an evening of intimate, intricate folk storytelling among the books! The Beadling are an English folk trio who blend traditional music and original composition, focusing on dynamic storytelling and uplifting voices that are often overlooked. Using a multitude of instruments, the Beadling craft intricate arrangements to capture the rich emotional lives in these traditional stories and explore the impact that social identity had on folk figures of the past. They'll be supported by True Rags, a trad folk duo who sing mostly unaccompanied harmonies. They are drawn to songs of work and resistance, and to songs which bring the texture of people's lives in the past into the present. Seth is a gardener/printmaker based in South East London, and Sophie is part of Oxford's narrowboat community. This promises to be a beautiful evening of song, struggle and storytelling. You are very welcome to be a part of it.

Costa Rican singer-songwriter and producer Patiño presents a new set filled with classic bangers from his home country mixed with his own original songs. Expect latin alternative, bolero, cumbia and electronic music. Supporting will be Asher Dust with an intro and outro set to keep the party going.
