Here’s the @TheBullingdon gig listings for January 1999 from @NightshiftMag including my band Vision with @KyndThe

I was at that night by the way and met the great man himself. Here’s me pointing to my homemade badge. We gave him a CD. He didn’t play it. Clearly knew nothing about music #johnpeel

Thanks so much hope you have a great weekend 🤓

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Not an Oxford band but they are from just down the road in Wycombe and they played Oxford regularly including when my band supported them at @TheBullingdon

Here’s Egotripper, produced by @Andybebop. They are playing the V&V stage @truckfestival Sunday 14:15

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Here’s @tomwebbermusic from my hometown of Didcot - he even goes to the same barber as me!

He’s been supporting some legends on tour including @RichardHawley and will be on the V&V Stage Saturday 16:30

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Here’s @StornowayBand with Zorbing - they are not playing @TruckFestival but interestingly a poll run by Truck recently chose their debut album as best ever by an Oxford band

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Saturday 19:45 V&V Stage @TruckFestival is @dreaming_spires - without whom there would be no Truck

Here they are on Andrew Marr. Not literally like

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Gutted to not be at @TruckFestival this weekend - however let’s shine a light on some local acts playing shall we?

Opening the V&V stage Saturday 11:15 it’s Candyskin & @CBeebiesHQ star @nickcope4

His music kept me sane when my kids were younger & I still love it now

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

Wow interesting choice Stornoway!

My top 5 would be -

1) The Bends
2) I Should Coco
3) OK Computer
4) Sunday Morning Fever
5) Weather Diaries

Thanks to everyone who sent us their lists of favourite Oxford albums. We've tallied the votes and are pleased to announce the wonderful @StornowayBand have emerged victorious with their beloved debut album! Here's the full Top 20 for y'all to argue about 😉

[Oxford Scene @oxfordscene]

@SnowySzafran @Britpopmemories @radiohead Good band but not really my thing - ideal if you like your indie folk like Mumford/ Coldplay/ Fleet Foxes

Shocked they won the poll… not sure who was voting, they must still have a dedicated support who came out & voted because surely The Bends, Nowhere or I Should Coco wins..
