We hold gigs on the first Friday of every month (except August) and a series of Sunday afternoon acoustic social sessions, presenting an eclectic mix of musical genres, experienced artists as well as up and coming new bands, both from Oxford and further afield, playing their own original music.

The Lockdown Letters
It started off as just a few mailshots to keep people in the picture when we first suspended gigs. We never thought that we would still be sending them more than a year later, to keep people's spirits up.
The Case For Culture
The Wheatsheaf, a massively important independent venue, is under threat. We put together a document for our local councillors, about the case for supporting a culture of music and creativity in society.
The Video Sessions
Since we couldn't hold gigs, we started putting together videos from past Klub Kakofanney events, and also encouraged local musicians to record short unplugged sessions for us.
