The Jericho Tavern is a music venue and pub in the Jericho area of Oxford, England at 56 Walton Street. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was an important part of the music scene which spawned Ride, Radiohead and Supergrass.[1]
[edit] History
Radiohead played their first gig here in 1986 under the name "On A Friday",[2][3] and Supergrass secured a record deal after a gig here in 1994.[4][5]
It was bought out in the 1990s by the Firkin chain. It became part of the ‘Scream’ pub chain, then was restored to a music venue in 2005. Along with several other Oxford pubs, it is now owned by Mitchells & Butlers.
