not really
fridays are pretty shit in oxford. the cellar might have something on though
the cellar?
im moving to oxford soon
shit fridays, noo ill be working and appreciate friday nights
thursdays are alright
and quite good bands play
ps
those two statements aren't linked. i've seen some of the worst bands ever on thursday at the cellar
what are the better venues in oxford?
im moving to SW oxford
the cellar, wheatsheaf or the jericho at the moment.
the port mahon is going to have a refurb soon, so that could be pretty good. otherwise there's the carling academy
is the port mahon
going to shut down for a bit?
don't think so,
but the refurb's not going to happen until September apparently
i'm in a band in oxford
and we're going to start playing like august-september, you know what places we should try to play?
Friday nights at the Zodiac
are bleak
Myself and 5 friends were in there last week along with about 4 other people
To be fair, that's 4 more than the time before
I'd say
on friday nights just go to the star and/or the Jamaican Hi Lo. Nowhere plays anything worth dancing to on fridays.
Cellar is probably the best chance though.
The Zodiac is generally pretty dreadful.
...
I lived in Oxford for the first 19 years of my life, get out of there, its bleak beyond despair. Luckily I now live in London.
