are a talented four piece covers band hailing from Eynsham in the mainpart. Pop and power pop covers by such bands as the Arctic Monkeys, Zutons, Kaiser Chiefs to name a few.

 

John Otway has to be one of the most diverse and talented performers we have to grace our festival this year. His wickipedia reference goes like this " John Otway is a self-confessed unsuccessful singer-songwriter , who built a large cult audience through unrelenting touring, a surreal sense of humour and a winning underdog personality." In the picture he is playing his famous double necked guitar. To see him way back in the day click on this link to a You Tube vid of "Really Free" complete with DLT and with a Wild Willy accompniment.

Electric Head are one of Oxon's liveliest and exciting covers band complete with UV lights and reflective make up and clothing. Bouncing around stage with boundless energy they take you on a wicked journey.

Hagglebag have been performing together since 2001 and are a popular and lively Irish band who perform regularly in their local area as well as in Sweden and Denmark
Ann Duggan returns to us this year with her own penned original music which is a bit rocky, a bit country. She has had BBC airplay with her material and just keeps getting busier each year.

 

 

 

Leatherat's live show captures the excitement of a rock gig combined with the influences of traditional and original folk tunes. Their show has a high level of energy that is instantly communicated to their audience spanning all generations, from teenagers, to hardcore rockers, punks and nostalgic folkies!

Reservoir Cats are a fantastic and funny Rock and Blues band, performing their own material and some great favourites..They will have you rolling - we can't promise not to let Tony talk too much (as discussed with a Cats band member), personally I think that it makes what the Cats are about apart from of course the spot on music!!! Just ignore them Tony and do your thing!
Blazing a trail across Europe with an intense touring schedule that puts lesser bands to shame, Uniting The Elements (UTE) are cementing themselves as one of the greatest rock-pop trios around. They are always well received at CLM Festival. Dawn pictured here with one of the fans from last year, puts on a monster show with her band. Guaranteed to wow the crowd.
Subway are one of the counties most busy and versatile covers bands. Their catalogue covers everything from cheese to chart and from all styles of music. Funk, punk, heavy metal, lounge lizzard, pop, chart. There will be a bit of something for everyone. Watch for Mika and Maiden this year! Go checkout their myspace page at www.myspace.com/subwayband
Martin Turners Wishbone Ash have a great time revisiting many of the classics from the vintage days of Wishbone Ash, recreating the essence of many songs, some of which have hardly ever been performed live, and reminding us all of the diversity contained in the Wishbone Ash back catalogue. I am confident that we have compiled a show that will please all true Wishbone connoisseurs.
SUNDAY 5TH AUGUST - 11.55 am to 10pm Festival Close
Juxstar hail from Chipping Norton and have an array of their own original penned rock/pop which is easy on the ear. Amy and the boys do many good works for the Emma's Trust Charity putting on benefit gigs. We were dead chuffed when they agreed to help out by performing at with Chalgove this year.
From the South Coast, The Dawn Chorus are every bit as radiant and tuneful as their name suggests. They are akin to a more jaunty Libertines, minus the East London cool. Their song 'Winter' reinforces their organic band name, starting with a chorus of birds on their ep before the song commences. When it does, the lilting vocals of Kyle Evans spur the song along, which slightly invokes Coldplay/Starsailor atmospherics and comparisons. Harmonies provided by bassist Keef Evans and Matt Simpson lend a powerful crescendo to the song that rides tandem with an equally explosive ending. A vertiginous rise to fame is by no means beyond their capability, so what are you waiting for? They say that their cartoon pic looks better than they do in real life - you be the judge?
This year we have 2 brothers playing in separate bands, Jay the drummer with E42st is brothers with joint lead guitarist from Shepheards Pie! Both hugely talented and experienced musos. Anyways East 42nd Street are back by popular demand this year playing some versatile Blues Rock. Damo's vocals lend a new lease of life on some great classic numbers - Bonnie Tyler eat your heart out, it sounds like a melodious rusty wheelbarrow wheel! Last year was warm, hope so again this year - he he he!
The Genghis Brothers were formed in 2002 by three friends whose musical collaborations go back to school days. With their roots in the new acoustic movement, the band have played the London club circuit extensively, with regular spots at the famous Kashmir Klub, The River Bar, The Sound Bar, Soho's Kabaret Club, Bracknell Arts Centre, Windsor Arts Centre and Watfords Old Pump House. We welcome them back this year to Chalgrove.
Big Bad City formed in the musical city of Oxford in 2005 with Nick,Ellie,Jake and Drew. The band consists of Ellie on vocals and songwriting,Nick on Bass,Drew on Drums and Jake on Lead/Rhythm Guitar. BIGBADCITY rehearse regularly at Coldroom Studios in Oxford, a host to up and coming Oxfordshire bands.

Having just had their first press shoot featured on London features international the band have also recently had a mention on the front page of the India Times,mentioned on the StarNow.co.uk website,The UK's paper 'The Daily Express' and Sky News 24, track play and interview on music control radio and are also currently running in second place on the 'Vodaphone music' unsigned bands page.
Chalgrove will be dishing up a generous dollop of Shepheards Pie - keep your Sunday dinner! All five members of The Pie have been involved with various cover bands over the years, but have now come together to create a very special live rock covers band. Their set will be featuring Lizzy, AC/DC, Maiden and Mr Osbourne himself. This is truly a trip back to your roots and will have everyone singing along at the top of their voices in no time at all! Up the Pie!
Adrenalin are one of Oxfordshire's punchiest rock outfits and we are delighted to welcome them back this year. Always a favourite of the festival playing a bit of Maiden, some Nickleback, Judas Priest. Get your Adrenalin rush on Sunday evening. We appreciate the efforts that Dee the manager has gone to - making sure the boys make their appearance for us! We are also welcoming a brand spanking bass monster and a nice bit of Shiraz on drums to wash it all down with!
To continue on the culinary close to the festival we have a cracklin' band for you returning this year we give you The Hoggz from London. They are tighter than my first husband in the toilet avoiding paying for the first round! They do rousing crowd numbers from Darkness to AC/DC. Having cut their teeth over the years they now tour the south and sometimes in Europe, steadily building up a formidable reputation as "Rock Behemoths." The Hoggz have appeared with Sam L Jackson, Peter Andre, Busted and The Crazy Frog, so name a few, and always deliver on the promise of an electrically charged show, this a fast and furious rhythm section, blistering twin guitars, and soaring vocals. Having been formed in 1999, the band continue to grow from strength to strength.
