About this event

WILL WILDE is on Wednesday 18 November 2026 at The Bullingdon, Oxford, with doors at 19:00. Tickets start at £11, including the booking fee.

We are SO thrilled to have the fabulous Will Wilde return after a long gap. After years of hard work this looks like this is Will's year.. Having won Instrumentalist of the Year at this year's Blues Awards and even more exciting news, he has been chosen to play on the line up supporting Eric Clapton at Sandringham in August, alongside Ronnie Wood and Andy Fairweather Low. Far more than a traditional Blues harp player, Will Wilde is a force to be reckoned with - a phenomenal harmonica player with a voice to match. Will's intense harmonica style steals the spotlight from the traditional blues rock guitar, with a sound that owes as much to Gary Moore as it does to Sonny Boy Williamson. "I’m always looking to make new sounds with the harmonica, pushing its boundaries, trying to change people’s perception of it.” His You Tube videos brought him to the attention of blues rock guitar legend Walter Trout, who invited him to play on his album 'Broken', which went to number one on the Billboard Blues Album Chart. To return the favour, Walter played guitar on the title track and first single from Will's new album 'The Blues Is Still Alive'. The album reached number one on the IBBA Chart...

Kenny Young & the Eggplants

The Bullingdon · Oxford

New York's most entertaining indie band, Kenny Young & the Eggplants make a welcome (but long overdue) return to Oxford - and just in time for their favourite holiday - Halloween! Fresh from 3 nights supporting Tom Robinson in London, they are in the UK to promote the Premiere of their new documentary film. "Before It Was Cool: The Brooklyn Beat from Lauterbach's" features The Eggplants and several other bands from the now-legendary Brooklyn indie scene. So expect a night like no other! Kenny Young will tickle your brain with another selection of his thoughtful, surreal (and annoyingly catchy) songs, while The Eggplants spread their unique brand of physical chaos around him. Here's a few sample tracks about New York life, pizzas, and cyclists that might find a peculiar resonance with an Oxford audience! Eddie's Apartment My Dinner with Elvis Psychopath on the Cycle Path

Love Music Hate Racism presents Electronic Against Hate

The Bullingdon · Oxford

Oxford's Love Music Hate Racism returns to The Bullingdon's main room after their sold out shows last year for this special Electronic Against Hate lineup that features two of the most exciting and provocative female electronic artists based in the UK. Anglo-French avant garde electronic artist Julia-Sophie headlines the main room at The Bullingdon. Her debut album 'forgive too slow' combines traditional songwriting roots with experimental electronica — intimate vocals backed by warm analogue synths and precise drum machines. Influences range from New Wave to folk confessional to house to avant-garde 80s pop. The songs narrate a story of self-destruction, love, and loss. By the end, embers are still burning — but there is a sense of getting closer to something authentic. This promises to be a treat for Oxford music fans already aware of her talent and a joy for those who have not yet had the chance to catch her live show. Esoteric electronic artist Maria Uzor will be performing tracks from her brand new album, 'Fantasyland' and bringing her restless energy to the stage. Her music lands like a pirate broadcast from a distant corner of the galaxy. Inspired by both dark and light,...
