Rachel Chai/Dave Oakley
10th May 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
£8Rachel Chai is a singer/songwriter based in Oxfordshire and performs at venues and festivals as a solo performer and with the Folk Gospel and Blues Band. Her music is routed in English folk music, interpreted with a contemporary twist.
As well as producing her own CDs, she has supported other artists (e.g. Martyn Joseph) and done session work for other musical projects. She is one of a handful of folk musicians who have won the Bill Bailey Award for Performance (awarded as part of Chipping Norton Music Festival Folk sessions) on three occasions. She is a regular at Chipping Norton Folk Club.
Chipping Norton based singer songwriter Dave Oakley first trod the boards at the Zap Club in Brighton in 1986 and made his London debut at “God’s Little Joke,” an open mic in Clapham, followed by the Troubadour and the Mean Fiddler.
Moving to Bristol in 2000, Dave has played at many clubs in the south-west, including supporting some of the great artists performing at the legendary Albert Hole and Priddy Folk Festival.
His thoughtful, well-crafted songs cover all the usual topics of love, life death, whiskey and Maurine O’Hara, but not necessarily in that order.
