Folly Bridge Records of Oxford
The Company
The aim of Folly Bridge Records is to bring to disc and to public notice, the work of some fine Oxfordshire acoustic musicians.
Folly Bridge is named after a landmark just south of the old city of Oxford; a stone bridge over the Thames (or 'Isis') above which used to stand a toll-booth tower.
There in the 12th century, lived and worked the great alchemist Roger Bacon - who watched the stars, and dared to believe that the world was a sphere.
