CAUSING A SCENE
We are the collective voice for Oxfordshire’s music scene – amplifying, advocating, connecting and taking action to ensure it thrives.
Our vision is of a vibrant local music culture that’s diverse, resilient and deeply valued – not only for its creativity, but for the vital role it plays in wellbeing, community and our local economy.

AMPLIFYING MUSIC
Together, we’re reinforcing the foundations for a healthy scene. That means backing the spaces where music lives, from grassroots venues and local festivals, to rehearsal spaces, studios and record stores, and everyone who makes music happen. Growing an active, diverse membership, sparking connections between artists, audiences and institutions, and earning the scene the visibility and recognition it rightly deserves.
And we’re not afraid to make noise when the scene’s under threat. Whether it’s through research, grassroots advocacy, collective action or joyful celebration, we’re here to champion the scene and to ensure its place at the heart of our cultural life for generations to come.
