Ock Street Band was formed in 2014 and are currently Ben Nielsen - vocals, guitar, bass guitar and Kay Davies – vocals, ukulele, mandolin, bass ukulele, treble recorder & tin whistle. They play covers, playing songs they like in an acoustic, slightly country, slightly folk style, as well as writing and performing their own songs and recorded their first ever EP, ‘From Scratch’ in 2019. Their sound is acoustic with lots of vocal harmony, with Ben and Kay alternating who sings lead vocal to give both variation and their own take on different songs. They play what they love how they love and enjoy nothing more than sharing the joy that playing together brings them. They play at festivals, pub gigs, private parties and any other special events.

Ock Street Band were a key part of our Community Open Day at Cowley Road Methodist Church, keeping our visitors and the whole of Cowley Road entertained! We were enormously grateful for their commitment and energy which greatly enhanced our event. They were wonderful to work with, friendly and passionate about what they do. We would highly recommend them.
