THE OXFORD pub, Oxford Square, Blackpool, will be opening in approximately four weeks. It has been shut for about four months but is now under new ownership. Aswell as all the usual you would expect from a pub, (live football/sport, food, darts, pool, etc), the main focus of the pub will be on live music in the evenings. THE OXFORD is keen to establish itself as a premier live music venue within Blackpool, sustaining and embracing Blackpool and the fylde coast's growing live music scene. The venue will cater for both cover bands and original material bands/artists of all genres. We will endeavour, where possible, to keep the live music nights genre specific ie, punk bands on a bill with other punk bands, therefore playing to a punk crowd and so on and so forth. There will be NO admission charge on live music nights. Original material unsigned nights will generally consist of four bands/artists on a bill, two from Blackpool/fylde coast and two from out of town. Cover bands will be required to bring all their own equipment (as is the norm). Original material unsigned bands/artists will have use of the in-house pa, monitors etc, and our in-house sound engineer will look after the sound. Original material unsigned bands/artists will be required to bring their own backline and cymbals/snare (unless they are the headline band on the bill, in which case they will need to bring their full drum kit).
If you would like to play a gig at THE OXFORD, get in touch with us ASAP as we are BOOKING NOW! Either PM us or call: 07843 828 798
We will require a demo if you play original material, (no more than four tracks though please).
Cheers, THE OXFORD
