Work no longer matters
William Blake: Apprentice and Master

When: Thursday; open until March 2015
Where: Ashmolean

Bloody Knuckles [ft The Shapeshifters]
Though the slightly cramped Carbon-era Bloody Knuckles may be gone for good, the Bully should prove the perfect venue for BK to really stretch its legs. With the Shapeshifters (of ‘Lola’s Theme’ fame) as special guests, this is the perfect way to end the term.
When: Wednesday
Where: Art Bar (Bullingdon Arms)

Burning Down the House
Same era to Bloody Knuckles, but the focus here is on 80s best in alternative pop and rock, rather than house. Expect perennial favourites Kate Bush, The Smiths, Talking Heads, The Cure, Pixies and many more.
When: Tuesday
Where: Cellar
