Time Is Of The Essence

Thursday 16th December 2021

The Spin welcomes back to the club the band that re-opened activities on the 29th July this year, Time Is Of The Essence!

The band has amassed a huge pad of repertoire over the years, so they are promising to perform an entirely different programme to that heard at their last two Oxford appearances. This doesn’t mean that they will be only delving into their back catalogue…not at all! - Expect a mix of the band’s re-worked oldies, plus a good selection of new originals and new arrangements!

The line up is:

Ollie Weston ~ saxophones

Pete Oxley ~ guitars

Martin Pickett ~ Organ

Keith Fairbairn ~ drums

Time Is Of The Essence is one of those bands that seems to have got the balance just right between edifying and entertaining its audience! The Observer, in reviewing a gig wrote that “there was never a dull moment throughout this highly engaging programme”!

The list of musicians that this group have worked with will give some indication of their flexibility of styles; between them they have performed or recorded with, among many others: Mike Oldfield, Shirley Bassey, Amy Winehouse, Sax Appeal, Tim Minchin, Nigel Kennedy, John Etheridge, Paul McCandles (Oregon), Anita Wardell, Barbara Thompson….

This promises to be a rousing and joyous end to what’s been a fabulous season - please do join us for this gig!
