About Oasiz

Oasiz are one of the UK’s most authentic tribute bands a point proved in 2023 when a short clip of frontman Steve performing as Liam went viral on social media with over half a million views.

Many fans were convinced the clip was actually of Liam Gallagher himself, which led to the story being covered in the national press as well as a high-profile TV appearance later that year.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the famous Knebworth shows, Oasiz are embarking on a 2026 UK tour and this is your chance to see them in top form.

The setlist will pay homage to the most memorable parts of Oasis’ record-breaking shows will also include all the big-hitting career-spanning anthems that you would associate with a greatest hits tour.

The Furrow Collective
2026-05-02 19:30 | The North Wall Arts Centre, South Parade, Oxford, OX2 7JN
The Furrow Collective

About The Furrow Collective

Drawn together by a shared love of the traditional song and balladry of England, Scotland and beyond and an open, intuitive approach to collaboration, The Furrow Collective share timeless songs of this world and others, with storytelling at their heart.

It is this storytelling focus upon which the band are set to expand with their upcoming project Cantastoria, including digital single releases and the use of visuals, both in their music videos and live performances.

Lucy Farrell, who is a talented visual artist as well as musician, will create ’crankies’ for each single, illustrating the stories of the songs. The crankie theatre is turned by hand whilst the story unfolds on a moving scroll, an enchanting addition to their live shows.

The songs may be hundreds of years old, but they are chosen for the parallels that can be drawn with our times; tales of courage, resistance and wit.

The Furrow Collective (Lucy Farrell – viola, voice & saw, Rachel Newton – harp, fiddle, voice, Emily Portman – banjo, concertina, voice and Alasdair Roberts – guitars, voice) are well-loved for their contemporary interpretations of folk songs, and these releases focus on what they do best, breathing new life into old ballads, in song, story and art.

The Beekeeper of Aleppo
2026-05-05 00:00 - 2026-05-09 23:59 | Oxford Playhouse, Beaumont Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 2LW, United Kingdom
The Beekeeper of Aleppo

About The Beekeeper of Aleppo

Proudly presented by Martin Dodd for UK Productions Ltd in association with Nottingham Playhouse, adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai and Matthew Spangler, from the International No.1 Bestseller Christy Lefteri.

‘I was scared of the bees at first, but now, they make me feel alive. They are like a society in complete harmony with itself. Not like people at all, but maybe what people have the potential to be.’

Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of Aleppo – until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is destroyed by war, they are forced to escape.

On their terrifying journey, they must face the pain of their own unbearable loss alongside incredible danger. Above all, they must journey to find each other again. This compassionate and beautiful play is a story of connection – between friends, families and strangers.

Winner of the Aspen Words Award, Runner up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and one of The Times top three bestselling books of 2020, Christy Lefteri’s best-selling novel is adapted by Nesrin Alrefaai, and Matthew Spangler who adapted The Kite Runner.

Reviews

Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts

Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts

About Manja Scott & Jeff Clarke: Creative Contrasts

This exhibition celebrates a long friendship between two artists who have contrasting styles but warmly appreciate each other’s visual language.

Manja Scott was born in Zagreb, Croatia, but lived more than a third of her adult life in Africa – Ethiopia, Zambia, Kenya. She came to live in the UK in 1982. With the exception of various courses in Combined Arts, Printed Textiles, Print Making, she is self-taught. Her most important influences are twentieth-century art, tribal world cultures, and the amazing, ever-changing beauty of nature.

Jeff Clarke trained through the 1950s at the Brighton College of Art and in Italy with a Prix de Rome scholarship in engraving. Later, he etched and painted regularly in Crete alongside the role of draughtsman to the British School of Archaeology until 1996. The regular periods of vibrant sunlight had a profound effect on his work in colour, tone and line.

For this exhibition, both artists show a considered selection of retrospective and recent work. Manja with essentially coloured abstracts; Jeff with observed drawings in black and white, mostly of still life and close environment.

The Easy Rollers

About The Easy Rollers

Delighting audiences with their enormous repertoire of their own songwriting and arrangements, The Easy Rollers are a septet who embody the famed spirit and consummate virtuosity of today’s booming British jazz scene and bring it straight back to the music’s roots: 1920s and ’30s Harlem, Kansas City and New Orleans.

Released in 2025, their critically acclaimed album ‘… And Another Thing’ – spun on BBC Radio 3 and praised internationally for its “craft, strong ensemble work, and a clear passion” (Jazz In Europe) – was launched in London at a sold-out PizzaExpress Live. In 2026, The Easy Rollers celebrate their 10th anniversary, embarking on their most high-profile UK tour yet.

Fronted by the captivating Dani Sicari, whose time-machine of a voice is evocative of early greats like Helen Kane and Ruth Etting, The Easy Rollers have long established a reputation for delivering performances that channel the in-the-moment dynamism of the Jazz Age at the height of its cultural grandeur.

Arising from their love of the tradition, they take pride in marrying a conscientious approach to authenticity with their mission of ensuring this effervescent era of jazz is never presented merely as a nostalgic museum piece.

An Evening of Mediumship with Psychic Tony Stockwell

An Evening of Mediumship with Psychic Tony Stockwell​

About An Evening of Mediumship with Psychic Tony Stockwell

Remarkably compelling, amazingly detailed, and always humorous.

The popular star of TV’s Street Psychic, Psychic Private Eyes, and Psychic Academy, Tony Stockwell has a long-established credibility as one of the top Intuitive Mediums.

Tony demonstrates his belief that those who have passed can communicate with their loved ones with detailed messages frequently including names, dates, and locations and all delivered with emotion, sensitivity, and empathy. The evening may include psychometry, photograph readings, and psychic prediction.

Recent legislative guidelines insist that any Evening of Mediumship should be billed ‘for entertainment purposes’.

Tony certainly uses his natural wit, showmanship, and Cockney charisma to entertain but more importantly, Mediumship has the potential to change someone’s life and instil in them a sense of peace, comfort, and purpose.

We hope that nobody can fail to come away untouched by the experience.

Reviews

“Tony Stockwell blew me away with his accuracy of dates, names, etc. He did convince me there must be life beyond the grave.”

St John's International Piano Series: Mishka Rushdie Momen

St John’s International Piano Series: Mishka Rushdie Momen

About St John’s International Piano Series: Mishka Rushdie Momen

Beethoven Piano sonata no.14, op.27 no.2 ‘Moonlight’

Beethoven Piano sonata no.28, op.101

Interval

Beethoven Piano sonata no.6, op.10 no.2

Ravel Miroirs

Mishka Rushdie Momen studied with Dame Imogen Cooper and with Sir András Schiff. She has appeared across the USA and Europe, last season’s recitals including Wigmore Hall, Aldeburgh Festival and the re-opening of the Frick Collection, New York.

Her programme includes three Beethoven piano sonatas, from very early to late. She starts in the chronological middle with the lovely ‘Moonlight’ sonata.

The catchy name was added by others: Beethoven himself subtitled the sonata ‘Quasi una fantasia’ and it is a kind of fantasy, opening with a dreamy adagio, the melody building to an aching sadness and mystery.

For her final piece, Mishka leaves Beethoven for Ravel. Miroirs is a brilliant impressionistic work, composed when Ravel had begun to make his mark with the public but was still battling for recognition with entrenched powers at the Paris Conservatoire.

Each one of the five movements is dedicated to a friend and fellow member of the avant-garde club Les Apaches.
