Oasis (1980s group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oasis was an English classical music band formed in 1984. The group consisted of Peter Skellern, Julian Lloyd Webber, Mitch Dalton, Bill Lovelady, and Mary Hopkin.[citation needed]

Their debut album was called Oasis and was released on WEA along with two singles. A tour of the UK was planned for September 1984 and a new cellist Audrey Riley was brought in to replace Lloyd-Webber whose solo commitments forced him to leave. However, the tour was brought to an abrupt end because Hopkin became ill. The group disbanded shortly afterwards.[citation needed]
