Klub Kakofanney is still a monthly live music club. Its
has retained it's experimental, anything-goes attitude to promotion and has
outlived almost every venue in Oxford, having moved home a number of times,
now resides at the regular venue of The Wheatsheaf in the city centre since
August 2000.
It remains one of the local music scene's best-loved institutions with a
large and loyal regular crowd.
As well as the monthly club, we have promoted gigs in Abingdon, Reading and
Banbury and also ran a number of all day events for various occasions.
We even managed an all-day event to celebrate our 10th birthday and held it
at the E.O.C.C with the help of the Skittle Alley an Abingdon based club.
With over 30 acts performing over 12hrs of live music on 2 stages.
This has lead onto numerous all-day and all-weekend events at various venues
in Oxford.
The Wheatsheaf pub underwent a complete refurbishment in August 2002 with the
addition of much needed air-conditioning and the installation of a new P.A.
system (see below for full technical listing) and lighting rig.
With the changes in licencing laws in 2006 the pub is now open until 12pm and
we have expanded to the occasional four bands/acts.
We will continue to endeavour to bring great and diverse live music to the
people of Oxford in a friendly but professional manner.
Encouraging new bands; young and old and acts that may not normally find a
venue because of their unique style, to allow them to learn, to experiment
and evolve.
In doing so, we can continue to bring a wide range of musical
styles and talent for you to enjoy.
With many bands and band members
returning in different forms and line-ups, year after year.
After over 5 year at The Wheatsheaf pub and with doubts about its continuation to host live music,
we found ourselves moving yet again,
this time to The Exeter hall on Cowley road,
after the major refurbishment of the venue.
This spell at The Ex. was short and we soon returned
to The Wheatsheaf with a new landlord and a more secure outlook, were we are still to the present day.
