Folk Bands and Artists
Oakstone Trio
Oxford
The Oakstone Trio came together in 2022 for a gig at Oxford Folk Weekend after years of playing together on the Oxford session scene and in folk clubs. Louis Thurman (melodeons, vocals), Mitch Keely (guitar, vocals), and Joshua Newman (fiddle, viola, vocals) pair new compositions with old tunes and solo ballads with harmony chorus songs. They combine a nuanced, improvisatory approach to tunes with energy and warmth, allowing seldom-heard melodies to escape old manuscripts and giving well-loved session tunes the space to find new directions. They’ve worked with the Bodleian Library to deliver performances and workshops, played sold-out gigs at festivals and clubs, and supported Nancy Kerr and James Fagan.
