Friday 5th December 2025: MarysGarden, Life Underground, The Black Hats, Sebastian Reynolds
No turkeys here at the start of the Christmas season. It is our last Friday nighter of the year, so come on down, wet your whistle, and let's make it a big one. We've got four crackers, four quality acts who are a feast for the ears.
MarysGarden
MarysGarden brings us goth rock but with much more soothing silky style, and a smile, and perhaps some black feather plumage too.
Life Underground
An internationally diverse four-piece playing positively subterranean indie guitar anthems.
The Black Hats
Intelli-punk for the 21st century, Black Hats are arty, edgy, and downright impressive.
Sebastian Reynolds
Opening the evening is Sebastian Reynolds playing a mixture of electronica and guitar, along with immersive visual projections, exploring catastrophe and losing grip on reality.

If coming by bus, the venue is well serviced by the frequent Iffley Road buses. If travelling on the 46 route, the nearest stops are Cornwallis Close. If travelling on the 3/3A/3B from Oxford City Centre, ask for Freelands Road, whilst the nearest stop towards Oxford City Centre is called Henley Avenue. All of these stops are just a short walk away along a well-lit road.
