Event date: Thursday, 9 September 2010
Port Mahon, St Clements, Oxford

Eugene Chadbourne & Roger Turner

The ‘Doc’ hits town! The consulting room is open as the incomparable Eugene ‘Doc’Chadbourne (guitar, banjo, vocals), makes his first UK appearance for five years. Described as a ‘rebel among rebels’ Eugene’s highly individual take on all things guitaristic can see him switching, in the bat of an eyelid, between free improvisation, jazz, psychedelia, the blues and a country and western song. Playing with percussionist extraordinaire Roger Turner. Support comes from the duo of electronics/tapes improviser Stuart Chalmers and maverick junk percussionist Chris Stubbs.

Oxford Improvisers return to a familiar venue, recently refurbished, with a programme of new groups. Comprising two violins, viola, cello and bass, Squint directs its curious view on the vast and varied sound world of the string ensemble. The duo of Jon Bowen (sax and keyboards) and Simon Tarassenko (bass) complete the line-up for this nearly all-acoustic evening.
