Now in 2026, John is taking to the road with new music and old friends: Ray ‘Chopper’ Cooper and Al Scott. Long Bio John Jones is best known as the powerful and charismatic singer with Oysterband, veterans of the folk and roots scene since the 1980s. They started as The Whitstable Oyster Company Ceilidh Band became one of the best ceilidh bands in the business, before becoming Oysterband the primary folk/rock band in the business, releasing over 20 albums and playing every major festival in the UK, Europe and Canada. They recorded and toured with some of the UK’s most revered folk artists, including acclaimed tours and two award-winning albums with singer June Tabor. John’s solo work evolved alongside his Oysterband duties. In 2009, he released his first solo album, Rising Road, and began walking between gigs with musicians and fans in a group he called The Reluctant Ramblers. In ten years, the Reluctant Ramblers walked over 1000 miles between shows and John released his second album, Never Stop Moving, in 2015. Now, with Oysterband saying farewell to their armies of faithful fans across the UK and Europe with their hugely successful and largely sold out The Long Goodbye tour, John is about to embark on his next chapter, enlisting the help of his two long-standing friends and fellow musicians: Ray ‘Chopper’ Cooper and Al Scott. Ray joined Oysterband in 1990 and brought in the cello sound alongside his bass and backing vocals before leaving in 2013 to go solo. Al has been associated with Oysterband for over 30 years as producer and stand-in guitarist. Al joined the band in 2013. Between them, the trio play a variety of instruments and will be performing a range of songs and tunes from over the years, from each of their back catalogues, alongside new songs and traditional numbers. The Song Goes On Tour launches across the UK in Spring 2026, with further dates planned at summer festivals and in winter 2026, and with European shows in the pipeline as well. So whilst one chapter may be coming to an end, another is just beginning: The Song Goes On - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/papenburg/oysterbands-john-jones-ray-cooper-and-al-scott/200030425404103 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, performances, nonprofit, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 13 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Papenburg - **state**: LS - **country**: Germany - **location**: Güterbahnhof Papenburg - **lat**: 53.09054 - **long**: 7.38838 - **full address**: Güterbahnhof Papenburg, Bahnhofstraße 21,Papenburg, Germany ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Oysterband’s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/fe0d6304aae15807d14bd5f35ce1b1d0fba84c170a53d6e55394e9b5d8271159-rimg-w957-h752-dc080808-gmir?v=1788251269 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Oysterband s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott being held? - **A:** Oysterband s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott takes place on Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Guterbahnhof Papenburg, Bahnhofstraße 21,Papenburg, Germany. - **Q**: Who is organizing Oysterband s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott? - **A:** Oysterband s John Jones, Ray Cooper & Al Scott is organized by Guterbahnhof Papenburg. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
