Oxjam Chester

Oxjam was a nationwide music festival that took place for the first time in October 2006. Over 200 volunteers organised music events in their hometowns to raise money for Oxfam...Check out these stats - Oxjam will be twice as big this year with around 40,000 musicians and an audience of 300,000 expected to take part in 3,000 music events in October for Oxjam - the biggest music festival ever in the UK. We need more people involved now to organise an event in time for October to help raise a total more than £1 million to help end poverty.Oxjam is a music festival with a difference - you make it happen. The thousands of events put on by music lovers - from large-scale festivals to local sponsored busks - during October will produce the equivalent of 500 days of continuous music, all raising money for Oxfam.. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 "For us, Oxjam is the highlight of the festival season because everyone gets to make the noise themselves. The only thing more exciting than putting on your own event to help fight poverty is knowing that you're part of a movement of thousands of gigs, club nights and events right across the country."
