About the bands:
The Jericho Singers
"We love to sing songs from whole range of music from jazz to pop, folk to classical, R & B to hip hop as well as songs about the canal and life on and around it. Our choir is passionate about the canal and our concerts raise money for the Jericho Boatyard and Wharf project" https://www.jerichosingers.com/
Monkey See Monkey Do
"Monkey See Monkey Do combines the talents of clarinettist Helen Gentile, fiddle and bodhran player Matthew Aldous, and guitarist and front man Samuel Horlock. Their repertoire is firmly rooted in English folk music, with instrumental harmonies on fiddle and clarinet woven through the vocals. Described as “thoroughly enjoyable” (Songlines) and “a genuine delight” (FATEA), Monkey See Monkey Do regularly play for ceilidhs as well as performing their concert set at a variety of venues and summer folk festivals." https://thatmonkeyband.co.uk/
Jaybirds
"Discover the unique sound of Jaybirds with their captivating harmonies, in a beautiful setting."
Quest for Folk
"Quest for Folk are a young trad group based in Oxford, playing modern tunes and session classics from all over the world!" https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61555672097784
Short Drag Roger
"Having just celebrated our 20th anniversary with a sell-out theatre concert, Short Drag Roger continue to bring shanties and sea songs to the landlocked people of Oxfordshire and further afield. With our eight part harmony, we have performed at shanty and folk festivals all over the UK and Europe as well as pubs, theatres, village shows and other venues closer to home. We not only sing traditional shanties to our audiences acapella but also more modern sea songs and self-penned numbers." https://shortdragroger.co.uk/
