About this event

Smote is on Friday 5 March 2027 at Cowley Workers Social Club, Oxford, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £13.20, including the booking fee.

New show Oxford - we welcome the heavy, droning psychedelic and folk-drone project Smote to town on Fri 5th March at Cowley Workers Social Club. We caught them at Supernormal 2 years ago and were blown away! Once a solo endeavour by Daniel Foggin, now expanded to a fuller ensemble, Smote blends traditional instrumentation — creaking strings, funeral drums, somber winds — with thunderous synth work and desolate guitar to craft drone and dirge. Their latest album Songs from the Free House (Rocket Recordings 2025) confirms the band reputation as visionary seers building audial monuments by cranked amplification and atmospheric intensity alike. They have a new record coming out on the day of this show so it’s gonna be a celebration - come and get blown away with us! All ages and wheelchair accessible show now on sale!

Bossaphonik presents An Dannsa Dub + Starling Sessions

Cowley Workers Social Club · Oxford

The sound of An Dannsa Dub (The Dub Dance in Gaelic) is coined by the band as "future dub from ancient Scotland." It is the brain child of Tom Spirals and Euan McLaughlin who formed the band back in 2020. The project fuses the mystical energy and instruments of traditional Scottish music and Gaelic song with heavy, meditative driving basslines and digital Dub music. With both highly skilled musicians from the traditional music scene and the soundsystem community An Dannsa Dub's live shows are a pulsating melting pot of high energy vibes and top quality musicianship. They summon the joyous, communal energy of a ceilidh and a sound system session featuring a line up of fiddle, flute/electronics, guitar, bass and drums. Since the beginning of their journey, the band have taken their unstoppable sound to world audiences and multiple UK headline tours with busy summer festival calendars. They have performed to 10,000 at Boomtown hidden woods stage, a sold out show at Celtic Connections, The Glade stage at Glastonbury, headlined Ariano Folk festival in Italy and Goa Sunsplash in India - the list keeps growing as does the popularity of the band. Their first release, 2021's self titled EP...

Thirty Years of The Cheesegraters

Cowley Workers Social Club · Oxford

Come and celebrate three decades of filthy funk anomalies. There will be sets by three different versions of the band, and old friends are being trundled out of retirement by the truckleload. Right about now (and intermittently since 1996), the funk-soul covers!
