About Me

Thanks to everyone who made Oxjam 2007 such a hit! With your help, we raised over £12,600 in Glasgow, more than any other city in the country to the best of my knowledge. This year, Oxjam is coming a bit earlier, in April!!! Yes only 2 months away! All the proceeds go to Oxfam international, to help support its fantastic work across the world. So sign up now to get involved in what is sure to be one of the most exciting events of the year. We are asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone - to get together in April to make music, raise money and help end poverty. To get involved have a look at www.oxfam.org.uk/oxjam NOW!!!From classical to club night, folk, funk and punk - it all adds up to one huge, UK-wide, Oxjam festival - raising hundreds of thousands of pounds to fight poverty. Whether you sing, scratch or strum, you’ll be joining some of the biggest names in music in the Oxjam line-up.You don’t need a big venue - the beauty of Oxjam is that hundreds of small events make one huge party. And you make it happen.What will you do? Check out our blog for some cracking ideas, or the or the Oxjam website oxfam.org.uk/oxjam for more information. Alternatively, we can be contacted directly at [email protected]

Music:

So we already know that we have some amazing musical talent making up our Oxjam line-up, but we want the rest of the world to know it too! So we have teamed up with MTV to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get your music shown on MTV. But with so many events to choose from, their cameras can’t possibly capture them all, so it’s over to you…Film your Oxjam gig and upload it onto MTV’s new interactive music site ‘ MTV Flux’ and you could have the chance to appear on their brand new talent initiative - ‘Get seen, Get Heard’, and if this wasn’t enough the most popular entries, as picked by MTV Flux viewers, will have their band profiled and filmed for broadcast by MTV in the new year!Ultimately MTV are hoping to find three or four amazing new acts who’ll seal their bid for fame by appearing on the bill of a big gig next April alongside some of the many major acts who are supporting Oxjam.I’m sure we don’t need to tell you what an amazing opportunity this is- a chance to play on the same bill as some of the biggest bands in the country and make a stand against poverty at the same time!The first thing you need to do is get your Oxjam event on the road - register here:OXJAM!And you'll need to register with those lovely people at MTV Flux too. Oxjam is not only helping to change lives with the money you raise but could also change yours through GET SEEN, GET HEARD WITH MTV AND OXJAM!
