We were humbled that so many community spirited people threw their hat in the ring to become a director of Causing a Scene. We honestly could have taken everyone.
Meet our brilliant new board, which includes 4 ‘continuity’ directors and 4 fresh faces. What a team! causingascene.org/people

Very sad news. Our thoughts are with the friendly and knowledgeable staff who've made PMT such a central part of the Oxfordshire music scene for so many years (in happier times, Oxford was the chain's first new store outside its native Essex). bsky.app/profile/oxfo...
