Irregular Folks' Summer session
Our Summer Sessions have become a treasured for us in our yearly programming. It’s all about creating a beautiful summers day for audiences and bands and solo artists alike. We imagine what musically would be the most wonderful artists to hear on a stunning summers day and invite them down to play in an equally stunning setting and in 2016 we became the proud recipients of funding from "Grants for the Arts" via The Arts Council. This is very special development for us it meant we can make significant progress withour vision for the event and keep tickets very affordable. Now we are the proud recipients of Arts Council funding for the third year running. Last year we visited the stunning waterside Victoria Arms, Old Marston, Oxford. This year we moved to T.O.A.D. a city centre spritis distillery - although you woudln't know it, it felt like we were in the heart of the country.
If you managed to come. We'd LOVE hear your feedback on the day.
