Event information

Irregular Folks are super excited to bring to you a very special gig indeed...

John Metcalfe brings a rare live performance to Oxford's beautiful St. Barnabas church of his latest album ‘Tree’, out on Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records.

Coupled with gorgeous visuals from Jony Easterby, the music reflects an imagined 24-hour cycle in the life of a tree experienced by observing and listening to the ever-shifting interplay of light, colour and sound whilst exploring the intense and mystifying effect trees have on us all; our relationship with their physicality, their essence, and their importance to the future of our planet. Joining John on stage are some of the UK’s finest string players who have played on countless Hollywood film scores and with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Beyoncé and Coldplay.

The first half will feature John in conversation with Oxford-based artist and biologist Emma Coleman-Jones who draws inspiration for her work from trees.
