The Melting Pot is an alternative live music night in Oxford's fashionable Jericho Tavern. A bi-weekly event, with a hand-picked pick of the crop of new talent, both local and out-a-town.
If you like the idea of a night out at a gig where you can stay and enjoy the whole night, because the music is actually FABULOUS, then a Melting Pot night is for you! PLUS ask anyone who'd been - it's always a great vibe!
It's all about BRINGING BACK MUSIC VALUES!
Geared around rock with alternative twists - PSYCHEDELIC, RETRO, INDIE, EXPERIMENTAL, PROG, JAZZ, FUNK, SOUL, BROTHER, CHECK IT OUT NOW - we're talking about QUALITY! The Melting Pot's philosophy is: Only Great Live Bands need apply, to provide the night with a top blend of music all night putting smiles on faces... all set to a backdrop of blissful colour and sensory fulfillment in a venue that screams LOVE ME!
From 2008, The MP opens its doors just once a month, on the 1st SATURDAY of the month
