About Me

SXSC is Oliver and Rich - the plan is to bring the best live bands we can find to Winchester - and, with the help of Ben, Chops, Fred and everyone else at The Railway, the plan seems to be working! The tracks you can listen to here were all recorded live at The Railway by Dave 'Chops' Wallace - the man is a legend - buy him a Grolsch! All tracks featured here by kind permission of the performers. Thanks to RF, JP, the Deadstrings, Luke, Melissa, Chris and Netty.
