Oxjam is Coming

Wednesday 14th October 2009

by Soundaloud

Please see the following release from the Oxjam organisers with info for the upcoming musical spectacularrrrrr......

This year’s OXJAM MUSIC FESTIVAL will be taking over Sheffield on Sunday the 18th of October.

Over four venues (DQ Upstairs, Bungalows and Bears, The Forum and The Wick at Both Ends), the cream of Sheffield’s musical talent in a variety of genres will be coming together to make music and make a difference. One wristband will get you into all four venues.

The festival is run by volunteers, and all proceeds will go to Oxfam, helping their valuable work to improve life in the world’s poorest countries, and to campaign for political action on climate change, which is having its most devastating impact in developing countries.

*** Tickets/wristbands will be available at each venue on the night for five pounds, or online for less (see our website – www.oxjamsheffield.co.uk - for details) ***

All you have to do is buy a ticket and turn up, and you will be helping. Couldn’t be simpler. Although we can’t guarantee you will wake up guilt-free the next day!
