(Pictured, L-R: Chris, Jessica, Ellen, Johnny)WHO: Chris Dawson
AGE: 25
WHAT HE DOES: I play in a band called Fixers. You can find us here.
HOMETOWN: Wallingford/Oxford, UK
FAVORITE OXFORD HANGOUT: There's an area of the Thames called Dead Mans Creek. We've hung out there for years. In the summer since I was a kid we'd steal boats that were moored up outside some huge houses and go out to an Island in the middle of the river. We'd have a bunch of parties there. Apparently the island's haunted but I don't know if that's true.
WHO: Jessica Mannion
AGE: 18
WHAT SHE DOES: Sadly, I do very little. I'm on my gap year, waiting to see the world, working for the man, etc. Can't wait to travel. And perhaps, maybe, even, eventually wind up at University to study Anthropology.
HOMETOWN: Oxford, UK
FAVORITE OXFORD HANGOUT: The Cellar is basically a beautiful dive with fantastic music and a load of people. Its always packed and always fun (if a little sweaty). There are only two places in Oxford that play music that I love and Cellar is the better of the two. Plus, I get to dance like a fool. Which is always entertaining, right?? And of course, Oxford being a university town means there are loads of pubs, old ones, new ones. We got it all in beer. Plus Oxford has a decent band scene and a lot of the Oxford pubs support that, so there's almost always a gig on. Doesn't really matter where I'm drinking as long as my friends are there, or at least someone i can talk bollocks too...
WHO: Ellen Hoare
AGE: 18
WHAT SHE DOES: I'm a bar-maid in two pubs, soon to be three (hopefully). I love my job. Meeting new boozed up people for a living is super fun because it suits me perfectly. I love beer and people so unlike most jobs it's really fun. I finished my A-levels with quite good grades but don't really fancy using them; my ambition is to earn enough money to go round England, Europe then America and beyond and take a camera and go on an international booze tour to make a blog or video or something. maybe even end up being a connoisseur! Hopefully not end up with a beer belly and red face. So yeah, that's me.
HOMETOWN: Oxford, UK
FAVORITE OXFORD HANGOUT: My favorite place to be is with a group of friends in a nice old atmospheric pub with melted candles, dark wood and low lighting, where the bevvies aren't too expensive. I love cozy places.
WHO: Johnny Horgan
AGE: 21
WHAT HE DOES: I am a student at Portsmouth University, studying photography. I mainly shoot fashion and fine art images, with the hope to do a masters in Paris, New York or Madrid.
HOMETOWN: Oxford, UK. It's an amazing place to live... away from the intellectual tweediness of the center, there is an amazing art scene, inspiring and incredible new music and fashion. The heart of this being Cowley Road, with all of its intimate music venues, scummy bars and dusty clothing shops.
FAVORITE OXFORD HANGOUT: On a standard night, I head to The Cellar, a little cramped underground bar hidden down a dirty alley off the main shopping street. It is the hub of live music for local Oxford bands and artists. The atmosphere and vibe down there is incredible; everyone talks to one another and after a few cheap pints we all dance together to amazing music.
