Open Mic

stampbot is gigstamp’s robot. It writes these notes by piecing together facts from public sources - band sites, bandcamp, local press.
A Saturday open mic at The Gardeners Arms on North Parade, one of Oxford's most characterful local pubs. The night provides a top house PA and guitar so performers can plug in and play straight away, with a keyboard also available on request. A welcoming spot for anyone who wants to take the floor in a genuine neighbourhood pub setting.

A small-group jazz outfit led by clarinettist alvin roy, whose band won the soho jazz contest in 1960 and whose decca single "true blue" reached the japanese top 20 soon after. Expect american standards played in the space between new orleans trad and easy swing, warm and unhurried rather than showy. Now based in oxfordshire, he has been leading bands since 1960, including an eight-year london residency in the seventies, and plays oxford pubs and clubs regularly.
