After last month’s bumper issue, we thought this month would be a doddle, but what with assorted internet problems, cancelled gigs and a near miss with floodwater it’s a wonder it’s here at all. Suffice to say, the sooner humanity abandons modern technology and returns to potato printing and carrier pigeons the sooner we shall start feeling at home in the world. Preferably a world where it never rains and singers never lose their voices. Is that really too much to ask? Last month’s feature on the closure of regional venues has provoked quite a reaction and it’s good to hear from people who are making the effort to start promoting live music around the county. Hopefully music fans out there will support them as much as they can.

Truck is, of course, the highlight of Oxfordshire’s musical calendar. Now a proper grown-up festival with tickets selling out months ago, Truck continues to provide the most varied and comprehensive showcase of local and international music you’ll find. Our extensive festival preview in this issue touches on just a fraction of the great stuff you’ll be able to hear over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The arrival of Cornbury Festival is a real boost to the county’s summer season. Set in some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK, the second Cornbury Festival boasts an impressive line-up of big names, from Robert Plant and The Pretenders, to Texas and Robyn Hitchcock, as well as some excellent lesser names, and with Truck, the Oxford Folk Festival and Charlbury Riverside Festival organisers also involved, it’s hoped that this year’s event will really put Cornbury on the musical map.
