The Oxley-Meier Guitar Project

The Oxley - Meier Guitar Project was established ten years ago, following these two guitarist’s tenure in the unique quartet, ‘Eclectica!’ In that decade, they have recorded 7 albums together, ranging from duet to quintet formats and have performed literally hundreds of concerts together throughout the UK and Europe.

Their music falls into the ‘jazz’ category, as there is improvisation (as a major element) in each piece. However, the soundscapes are very much influenced from their various travels, this summed by their strap-line: “soundscapes from Turkey to Brazil”. As a result, Oxley and Meier have performed in many of the top venues in jazz, world music and classical venues: Ronnie Scott’s, Musicport Festival and The Wigmore Hall.

Expect an evening of joyous varied fare, performed by these two seriously established musicians that The Observer described thus:

“When it comes to empathy, the duet of guitar virtuosi comes close to perfection"

---

Regardless of the size of the ensemble, Oxley & Meier have always maintained their two aims: 

- to write guitar-based music that is exciting, engaging and fascinating to anybody interested in music.

- to use an expansive range of instruments in order to deliver a stylistically wide ranging programme.

To achieve this, they usually use ten different guitars at their gigs. These include more unusual instruments such as:

- 11-string Glissantar (fretless instrument, based on the arabic lute - the oud)

- Electric 12-string

- Sitar guitar

- Fretless nylon-string

We very much hope to see you at this gig to hear the duo’s brand new programme in the intimate setting of the Cellar Bar!
