Like an open mic, let the team know when you arrive if you’ve brought something to share. There are inputs for LP, CD and for minijack, and a computer, so you can bring a track on vinyl, CD, on your phone, or as a name in your head.

There will be two sessions of music with a short break in between, and ask you to attentively enjoy every offering as you would at a live gig. Contributions are limited to to four minutes each so that lots of contributions can fit in. If you’d like to introduce your track you can.
There will be an open Spotify playlist setup that you can add to during the event, if what you hear inspires you – this bespoke playlist will be played during the break and after the formal sharing part of the evening is over.

Drinks will be on sale from the Old Fire Station Cafe.

Edition 14: Music of Oxford

This session is for celebrating music that has a connection with Oxford in some way, whether that’s public or personal.
This could be music by a local artist (including underground ones!), one of the first things you heard when arriving in the city, or something that reminds you of the city and surrounding area.

A track to get you started:

This is an open forum for people to share music that is meaningful to them without censorship, including sensitive topics and explicit language. The Listening Party aims to be an open and welcoming space – as such everyone is asked to respect each other as well as the diverse music people are likely to listen to.
