The first of our OFF26 festival concerts - the wonderful Ellie Gowers, with support from local legends Owl Light Trio. Friday 10th April, 7pm, at New Road Baptist Church. Tickets on sale now, on https://linktr.ee/oxfordfolkfest !Ellie Gowers is a UK singer-songwriter blending contemporary acoustic sounds with the storytelling traditions of folk. Her 2022 debut album Dwelling by the Weir earned critical acclaim for its lyrical depth and ecological themes, praised by The Guardian and TradFolk. In 2024, her new EP - You The Passenger, received national airplay on BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, and the RADMAC show. With influences ranging from MIPSO to Jeff Buckley, her sound explores themes of distance, longing, and identity.
Owl Light Trio are an instrumental group based in Oxfordshire - Jane Griffiths (Fiddle & Viola), Colin Fletcher (Guitar) and Jim Penny (Concertina). They say, 'We take good tunes to pieces and put them back together again. Sometimes the insides end up on the outside [...] On occasion, reconstructed tunes have been known to unfold in dramatic and unpredictable ways, but nobody has ever been harmed as a result.'
