Oxford Concert Party

One of the most entertaining, mould-breaking groups around


2012 was a significant year for many reasons, not least (as far as we are concerned) that we celebrated our 20th Anniversary! Thank you to everyone who came to our concerts, participated in our workshops and otherwise supported us during the year.

During the past 20 years, we have played in concert halls, village halls, prison chapels, a prison courtyard, detention centres, day care centres, residential homes, school halls, churches and assorted other venues. We have played for entertainment, for therapy and always for fun. We have seen people with Alzehimers' find their voices (sometimes literally), prisoners find some hope for rehabilitation and school children find bonds with older people. You can find out more about us here.

BBC Radio 3 In Tune


On Wednesday, 16th May, we were delighted to be the 'house band' on BBC Radio 3's In Tune programme.
