Radiohead sightseeing in Oxford
From This is Oxfordshire:
The search is on for Oxfordshire’s best-loved rock locations.
It could be the Carfax Assembly Rooms the site of Eric Clapton’s first professional gig the Zodiac club where the video for Radiohead’s Creep was shot or the flat in Cowley Road that Supergrass shared.
Virgin Radio is asking listeners to come up with suggestions they can put on a shortlist in the national search to find the UK’s most significant rock pilgrimage site. The radio station has joined forces with Travelodge hotels to uncover possible contenders.
Presenter Geoff Lloyd suggested the county’s most important site was Abingdon School where the members of Radiohead met. He said: “For me it has to be Abingdon School. If five young men hadn’t met up and got such a good education Radiohead would not have formed and made such inspired intelligent music.
“We’re looking for all the local places that have a rock history. It may be the site of an important gig the inspiration for an album cover or the place which saw a meeting of minds - like Abingdon School.”
To celebrate Oxford’s music credentials and the music links of the surrounding area submit your entry on the website www.virginradio.co.uk. Anyone voting gets the chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to Graceland the Memphis home of Elvis Presley.
