Oxford Folk Fringe is a brand new festival in Oxford aiming to celebrate the City's diverse and flourishing folk scene. The festival will be taking over venues all around the city, from pubs including The Half Moon, The Isis Farmhouse, The Royal Oak, to more formal performance spaces like the Holywell Music Room. The festival offers a mixture of English, Irish, Scottish and more general open sessions where musicians are encouraged to bring along their instruments and join the jam, in addition to more structured performances from the likes of Tom McConville.
