Oxford

Oxford's "Hottest" lower voices acapella group celebrates it's 10th anniversary, having been runners-up in Sky's 2017 "Sing: Ultimate A capella", toured America, and been finalists in the 2024 Open Acapella Competition in London. Now a passionate group of 14 current and former Oxford students, the commas perform in a range of venues across the city and even give singing workshops at local primary schools, as well as now gigging for events. With original arrangements of fan favourite pop songs from Imagine Dragons, Sia, Pharell Williams, Ed Sheeran and many more, in a set list we call "Bangers and Mashups", the commas are guaranteed to put smiles on faces and get people clapping and dancing along, and marvelling at the musicality and technical brilliance of the powerful pieces. Open to performing for any type of event and discussing what songs and themes would work best for you.

The Oxford Commas' Reviews

5 out of 5

When I decided I would try and book you for my sister's 40th wedding anniversary, I found your website quite easily on line and started a conversation/thread which led to the booking. I remember starting the process around March/April as I really wanted to book you and didn't know how booked up you were. Email responses were quite fast. Plus the date was a Sunday and I was delighted that it being a Sunday didn't preclude booking. I had no idea how much groups get paid for performing but I wanted/needed small group for my occasion and even though I know there are contacts with the Oxford Commas and Long Crendon I was happy to not negotiate around booking fee. And I thought £400 divided by possible 10 members very cheap! I think 9 Oxford Commas arrived nice and early for their booked session, left their shoes outside as I don't have shoes in my house and they warmed up their voices in my front room. They gave us a delightful selection of songs over 30 mins. We were all very happy with the gig & selection of songs. One of my family is quite musical and they run their local church choir outside Glasgow and they were very impressed by your performance.

We used The Oxford Commas for a Christmas function. It was beautiful and never felt so christmassy. They were great to communicate with and were very punctual, we were dealing with several companies and The Oxford Commas was by far the easiest. They made organising such a large event that little bit less stressful. The performance was stunning and we had so many comments from our clients after the event stating how they made the event! We will 100% use them again in the future and worth every penny we paid!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Most of our pieces require beatbox, and 4-part harmony with Tenor 1 and 2, Baritone, and Bass, alongside a soloist, so we'll aim to have 8-12 singers at every event to give you the best quality Commas experience!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually do a sound-check after warming up which takes 30 minutes, depending on the set up and whether we are performing acoustically or with microphones. We can organise all the detauls with you after booking.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.
