[email protected] HELLO AND WELCOME TO A VERY SPECIAL ISSUE OF NIGHTSHIFT. Special because it’s the biggest issue we’ve put together since Radio 1 Sound City in 1997, and special because this month sees the return of The Oxford Punt once again. The Punt takes place on Wednesday 10th May and features nineteen of the best unsigned acts in Oxford playing across six venues in one action-packed evening, starting at Borders at 6pm with singer-songwriter Ally Craig and finishing sometime after midnight at the Cellar where gabba-crazed madman Nailbomb Cults will be providing suitably frenzied climax to events. Inside this issue you’ll find a four-page pull- out guide to the Punt and we hope you’ll all go out and enjoy the evening and support the best new music talent in Oxfordshire. There are a few all-venue Punt Passes still available online from oxfordmusic.net, or Polar Bear Records on Cowley Road. priced at £7, otherwise just pay on the Echo & The Bunnymen play at the Zodiac on door at your chosen venue or venues. Saturday 3rd June. The new wave legends are Beyond that May looks like being one of the most hectic months for gigging we’ve ever known.
