Bróna McVittie &amp; Band at the Jericho TavernAcclaimed Northern-Irish folk singer launches her third album in Oxford with full bandPioneering her own brand of cosmic folk, Bróna McVittie both deftly reimagines traditional folk and crafts her own nature-inspired songs with a rich mix of folk and electronic instruments. Her live show features vocals, electroharp, guitars and electronics, and for the Oxford show she is joined by jazz double bassist Oli Hayhurst.Her debut solo album We Are the Wildlife, released in January 2018, earned her a string of four star reviews from MOJO, Uncut, The Guardian and The Independent garnering high praise from critics including Nigel Williamson and the late Andy Gill.The album’s single Under the Pines was featured in Lauren Laverne’s best-of-2018 list. And before her WOMAD appearance in 2019 Bróna was interviewed live by Cerys Matthews on her BBC 6 Music festival highlights show.Her second album The Man in the Mountain, released in September 2020, immediately scored the much-coveted Folk Album of the Month spot in The Guardian. Later that year Jude Rogers ranked it 4th in her 10 Best Folk Albums of 2020. In her words “You’re put in the place of a bird navigating wide open landscapes, absorbing light, space and air. This is music that takes you on its wing, and gives you fresh visions”.Her third album The Woman in the Moon is due for release this autumn. The Woman in the Moon and Tiocfaidh an Samhradh (Summer Will Come) - described as &quot;Visionary&quot; by Folk Radio UK - were released as a digital double A-side single in May 2022 and are available on all digital platforms. https://youtu.be/CWQpCAg3xHwNo.5 in The Guardian’s 10 Best Folk Albums of 2021 and No. 4 in The Guardian’s 10 Best Folk Albums of 2020★★★★ MOJO :&quot;McVittie&#x27;s voice is clear, hypnotic and uncannily timeless, floating between Broadcast&#x27;s Trish Keenan and Clannad&#x27;s Moya Brennan.IRISH NEWS : “It happens less and less but there are those magic occasions when you hear a piece of music for the first time and you suddenly stop what you’re doing and just listen.★★★★ The Guardian : JUDE ROGERS&#x27;S FOLK ALBUM OF THE MONTH (September 2020) &quot;You’re put in the place of a bird navigating wide open landscapes, absorbing light, space and air. This is music that takes you on its wing, and gives you fresh visions.”Support from Louisa Lyne Patterson &amp; FriendsAn exquisite set of instrumental pieces composed by Louisa Lyne Patterson of Oxford-based cinematic Arabic jazz band, Brickwork Lizards. Scored for violin, viola, cello, and piano, Louisa’s music comes from the heart. It weaves together subtly shifting tonalities, Debussy-esque shimmers, nods to Yann Tiersen, and the occasional Arabic inflection to create a glorious and emotive sound-world utterly her own. Some of the pieces were written during the first lockdown, and they reflect wordlessly and beautifully on the themes of love, loss, and longing.&quot; (Jane Griffiths, Feb 2022)The quartet features:Jane Griffiths on violin (Owl Light Trio)Vanessa McNaught on viola (Adderbury Ensemble)Louisa on celloAshton Gray (Sparsholt Collective) on pianoAdv Tickets £11.50....£13 on Door
