bandstand sessions in July
We’ve had this month’s edition of the Oxford Slow Session today (incidentally also at the band stand), and now there are four Sundays left for our more informal bandstand sessions, namely:
10.7.
17.7.
24.7.
31.7.
As always, core playing time will be 4pm-6pm, but feel free to come earlier or stay later. The park closes at 9pm this month.
I’ll be there and playing tunes unless the weather is absolutely atrocious. Any change of plan will be announced in this blog entry and on my facebook page. If for whatever reason we are unable to use the bandstand, the alternative location is one of the little paved areas at the car park end of the park, near the star-shaped crossing of the paths. With the hard surface, these also offer reasonable acoustics, although very little shelter.

Picture from today’s very lovely Slow Session, which was well attended and spilling over onto the sunny side of the lawn.
In other bandstand news, once the schools break up, members of Cowley Orchestra will hold some chamber music sessions at the bandstand, typically on Wed evenings, around seven, and then a bit earlier in August as the park will close earlier. Anybody interested in joining these give me a shout.
