SUNDAY 6TH JULY |
 |
Reble Jane [19:00]
are a genuinely exciting project for 2008. Enchanting and haunting vocals,
music that delvers into a long forgotten beauty, riddled with violent outbursts
and songwriting that ambles between alternative rock and the avant-garde.
Comparable to timeless classics as Radiohead, Nick Cave and Jeoff Buckley. |
 |
Easy Tiger [18:00]
Every now and then, a regional band will bubble to the surface and pierce
the mainstream consciousness to the delight of fans and the consternation
of uptight music critics. This is that band…they told you so. |
 |
Back to the Border [17:00]
is Patrick Ellis and Andy Hopkins. The two have been friends
since they were kids in South Wales and together they produce an inspirational
and exciting blend of self-penned contemporary and classic acoustic blues
and edgy folk. They love to play - and it shows. They’re joined at
the festival by the legendary Pete Crowther on bass and rocksteady Tommy
Longfellow on drums. |
 |
Billypure [16:00] The 'big music' is alive again with powerful songs played with a conviction
that never fails to move an audience. A special tribute to be played to
The Waterboys at Cornbury as a heartfelt thank you for inspiration. |
 |
Lightnin' Willie &
The Poorboys [15:00] Willie
is a brilliant musician who engineers an unforgettable journey. He orchestrates
a delicately balanced show, opening with powerful blues, rich vocals, and
slide guitar. |
 |
Tp & Woodman [14:00] born out of a love of 'raga' and electric guitars, tp & woodman use the fundaments of the Indian discipline to take you on a free flowing but structured guitar journey. Jangles, drones, hypnotic rhythms, swooping and soaring improvisations.... |
 |
Modou Diouf [13:00] High energy of Senegalese Sabar drumming with Modou Diouf. Played festivals across the country including live 8. Played on the soundtrack for ‘Blood Diamond’. |
 |
Toby [12:00]
began learning Flamenco guitar when living in Andalucia. He started writing
his own songs a couple of years later. He is now 16 and is getting a clearer
idea about how he wants to sound. Just finishing his exams & will continue
with school to study music/drama...........all the serious subjects! |
 |
Judy Luxmoore [11:30] At
thirteen years of age, Judy is a rare talent indeed. As a singer and songwriter
she is years ahead of her age, The next Kate Rusby. She’ll steal the
show and your hearts! |
 |
Bandioki [11:00] A chance for members of the audience to front a band! |
Performance Timings: Saturday | Sunday
The gates to the arena open at 10:00 am each day. The Oxford folk Festival Stage and the Riverside Stage will begin around midday with the Main Stage starting at 12:00 each day. The music will end at around 11pm on both days. Crowded House are due to take to the Main Stage at approximately 21:30 with KT Tunstall immediately before.
The headline acts (i.e. last on) are always shown at the top of each stage line up section above with the running order working in reverse order down the page.
With the main stage artists performing for between 60 and 90 minutes each
and a short interval for stage changes between artists this should help you
gauge the approximate timings for the day. Timings for the artists on the other
stages will vary.
Timings for the artists on the other stages will vary. However, in general Main and Second Stage artists alternate, with at most 15 minute overlap at the start or end of sets, but with the Riverside Stage running as well this year some tough choices will have to be made!
This information is provided here as a guide only and changes may be made to running order and timing without notice on the day.
