Ultimate Genesis by Los Endos @ O2 Academy 2, Oxford
2014-10-04 18:30 - 22:00 | O2 Academy 2, 190 Cowley Road, Oxford, OX4 1UE, Oxfordshire, OX4 1UE, United Kingdom
Don’t miss this opportunity to see and hear all the drama and excitement of a Genesis gig from the 70s and 80s. It is easy to visualise murderous goings-on on croquet lawns, unrequited love, and Rael expressing his desires and dreams in a gloomy and dark New York city! Under a sweeping and dramatic light show reminiscent of the era, the intricate and powerful music of Genesis is recreated with amazing accuracy.
The band have crafted a new set which will include 'Battle Of Epping Forest', '11th Earl Of Mar', 'Entangled', 'Firth Of Fifth', 'Fountain Of Salmacis', 'Robbery Assault And Battery', 'Return Of The Giant Hogweed' and of course... 'Los Endos', plus lots, lots more!

Tom Vek @ The Art Bar (formerly The Bullingdon), Oxford
2014-10-04 19:00 - 22:30 | 162 Cowley Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1UE, United Kingdom
Over the course of his decade-long career Tom Vek has forged a reputation as one of London’s most enigmatic and exciting musicians. Breaking on to the scene with the attitude-spiked We Have Sound (2005), Vek channelled his homegrown musical prowess into a bastion of mid-noughties electronic punk rock rebellion. His long awaited follow-up, Leisure Seizure (2011), was less raw but no less impactful. Now mixing the expertise learned from both, his newest offering, Luck is set to be Vek’s biggest and most daring album release to date.

The Sam Kelly Trio / Kelly Oliver @ Tiddy Hall, Ascott-under-Wychwood
2014-10-04 19:30 - 22:30 | Ascott-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, OX7 6AG, United Kingdom
Sam Kelly is one of the fastest-rising performers on the British folk circuit. He has been championed by Cara Dillon and Sean Lakeman among others:
"Sam has such a beautiful voice and sings with so much soul. I’ve seen him perform live a few times and he’s amazing" - Cara Dillon
"A captivating performer, Sam Kelly has one of the best young male voices in British acoustic roots music. Seriously... Check him out!" - Sean Lakeman
The 21-year-old singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist originally hails from the depths of Norfolk. As a young child, Sam's only link with folk music was through the Gaelic songs that his Irish grandfather taught him to sing. But he has never lost his love for traditional music, and this passion pours out of him in every note he sings. So far, Sam’s musical journey has taken him from reaching the final of ITV's Britain's Got Talent in 2012 to being selected for the first ever EFDSS Artist Development Scheme and becoming a New Roots Finalist in 2013.
"From her first gig in May 2013, Kelly Oliver seems to be getting on everyone’s radar, from that gig at Cambridge Folk fest, radio play and a record deal within a few months marks her out as someone pretty special. She has just released a new version of the song ‘He Walked On The Side Of The Sea’, from her Far From Home EP. This new version brings in BBC Folk Award nominee Will Pound for a gorgeous harmonica duet." - Spiral Earth
