The next concert, on Sunday, 11th March 2012, From Oxfordshire -

The Oxford Fiddle Group

have performed at various venues in and around Oxfordshire as well mini tours of West Cork in Ireland, and The Algarve in Portugal. OFG have also performed in Bonn (Germany), Leiden (Holland) and Grenoble (France). They have also performed at The Oxford Folk Festival and Chippenham Folk Festival. Some players also play other instruments as well as the fiddle. So a typical line up for an OFG performance could include Celtic harp, double bass, guitar, mandolin, viola, cello and concertina. They have some singers in their ranks, so you can be assured of afternoon of variety and of course the great sound of massed fiddles 'played with joy'. Much more about this group can be found on their website by clicking here.

All of the concerts runs from 3pm (doors open at 2:30) Tickets are £ 8.00.

As last year, tea, coffee and cakes will be served in the interval

by the crew of the charity narrowboat Dick's Folly. Some of the proceeds of these events will go to this worthwhile local charity.

Why are these billed as "Acoustic Concerts" ?

This is to underline that the musicians featured in the concerts are not using electric instruments, but are using the natural sounds of their instruments and voices. Depending upon the act we may use amplification to ensure that they can be heard thoughout the concert hall, but volumes are kept as low as possible.

The Abbots Langley Winter Acoustic Concerts were launched in November 2010 by a performance of "Where the Working Boats Went" by Life and Times - Barry Goodman and Graham Meek. We decided to follow this up with concerts in February, March, October and November each year
