The Knowhere Guide

The Local Music Scene in Chinnor, Oxfordshire*

Chinnor, Oxfordshire Record Shops and Venues

Record Shops

• the record house in thame
• Video village
• I picked up a couple of good 12" at a jumble sale once.
• Yeah right, I could mention a few houses with pretty decent collections if you want to go round and 'borrow' a few on your day off.

Clubs (Dance Music) and Music Bars

• chinnor social club
• I think the local DJ (I like to think our own 'Andy Weatherall') is known as 'Jive Nunny', no don't ask! I can also remember the odd 'yoof night' at the Congregational Church. A bit like the above but with a bit more of an underground feel to it.
• What can I say... THE SOCIAL CLUB. The high point of the month is the disco at the social, a hive of underage drinking and chemical experimentation to the sunny sounds of Steps. Super Disco is also to be found periodically at the Crown & Royal Oak - same rules apply, oh Jesus!

Live Music Venues

• the chinnor village hall. and the zodiac in good ol oxford
• village hall
• If you are talking Disco's The Crown holds a cracking disco on a Friday night. And also a cracking feast of totty (only jokin) No really I love them all
• I must reccomend any productions by The Chinnor Operatic Society and don't forget Carols round the tree at Chirstmas.
• The village hall, where else. The scene doesn't thrive as it used to, more DJ than bands now - this is a good thing. Also to be seen are the Silver Band.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
