Free live music and meet-up at Oakford Social Club!

Come and meet the community at our next Closer To Home gig, at Oakford Social Club on Thursday 21st August - the day before Reading Festival!

August's lineup is possibly our favourite ever Closer To Home bill. Headlining is Rubberband Girl, a supergroup of leading session musicians and songwriters spearheaded by the awe-inspiring vocals of Maidenhead's Caitlyn Scarlett. They'll take us into the night with a rhythmic, funky, but approachable sound.

Support comes from two of the hottest acts from over the road in Oxford right now. Blue Bayou appeared from thin air in the last couple of years with a string of sold out small venue shows, building a rapidly growing hype around their fusion of chamber pop and ballads, adding in strings and trumpets to a traditional band set-up.

Shock Horror, meanwhile, are the latest inheritors of an exciting UK alternative tradition which has seen Squid, Black Midi, and Maruja become hotly tipped names worldwide. Expect progressive melodies, angular guitars, and frenetic vocals, interwoven instinctively within mesmeric math rock structures.
