Make Music, Raise Money, Change Lives.

About Me

Thanks to the following for their support:
What is OXJAM? Spanning the month of October, Oxjam is a unique music experience that aims to stage as many music events as possible to raise money for Oxfam Ireland . We're asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone across Ireland - to put on all kinds of music events during October to raise money for Oxfam. There's no limit on how big or small the events are - classical, club night, mambo and metal, it'll add up to one huge, Ireland-wide, Oxjam festival - raising thousands to fight poverty.
And we need YOUR help to make it happen.
So What's Happening In Dublin? Glad you asked! We have nine shows confirmed for Oxjam 2007 in Dublin. All proceeds from these shows go to Oxfam Ireland .

Get Seen, Get Heard with MTV
As part of Oxjam, MTV launched a brand new talent initiative called 'Get Seen, Get Heard' - calling out to the nation's up-and-coming music stars to get involved in the festival for the chance of recognition on MTV.
Bands and artists playing at Oxjam gigs filmed their performances and uploaded them to a specially created MTV website. The most popular Oxjam acts, as voted by MTV viewers, are now appearing on MTV in a series of Get Seen, Get Heard profiles. Over the coming weeks the 22 finalists will be whittled down to a final five who will each receive a mentoring session with a music industry expert. The pinnacle of the initiative will see each of the five finalists performing at a series of special gigs to mark the beginning of Oxjam 2007, details of which will be confirmed at a later date.
Oxjam 2007 Compilation CD
Several of the artists involved in this year’s Oxjam festival have very kindly donated a track for an Oxjam compilation CD. We hope to have the CD available online very soon..

What is Oxfam?

Oxfam Ireland works with people around the world to end the injustice of poverty. We are an independent and secular not-for-profit organisation.

Oxfam Ireland is a member of Oxfam International, a confederation of thirteen independent members. The members work together to achieve greater impact by their collective efforts.

What do we believe?

Oxfam believes that all human beings have the right to a home, enough to eat, clean water, a way to make a living, education, healthcare, freedom from violence, a voice, and an identity.

What do we do?

Oxfam is many different things. It's the organisation which helps poor people to build a better future for themselves. It's the relief agency which brings help when disaster strikes. And Oxfam is the campaigner for a fairer world.

Through our work in long-term development, emergencies and campaigning, Oxfam helps people to achieve their right to a life free from poverty, suffering and injustice.

Oxfam is a global movement of PEOPLE, working to overcome poverty, suffering and injustice. People such as the volunteer in the local Oxfam shop; the community leader in Kenya helping local farmers find ways to grow more crops; the water engineer working in an emergency drought; the campaigner lobbying their local political representative on trade rules. All of these individuals make up the organisation that is Oxfam.
