About Me

Welcome to the official My Space profile for Oxjam, Oxfam's newest music event, and the UK's biggest festival!
OXJAM: Make Music~Raise Money~End Poverty

What is Oxjam?

Oxjam is Oxfam's most ambitious music event ever.Musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone - have put on all kinds of music events during October 2007 to raise money for Oxfam. And it’s been such a success - we're keeping the fun going. So if you fancy being part of it - it's easily done.
You can organise or tag an event or even get sponsored throughout the year to make music, raise money and help end poverty. We would love to have Oxjam parties, gigs and anything musical take place right through the festive season and into 2008 - to help build momentum for next October. Soon you will be able to promote your event on the website - whenever it takes place - so watch this space and get planning today!
Do whatever you like. As long as it's musical, and raises cash - you're in! Tag a music night that you love, get sponsored or have a party. You decide.
Sign up and get the Oxjam toolkit: for everything you need to put on your event.
If your event's planned already, here are a couple of simple ideas to raise even more money for Oxfam .

Thank you

The people who take part, all around the country, are the ones who really make Oxjam happen. Here’s sending out a huge thank you to everybody who has organised an event, played at one or came along and had a good time! See what you've done so far.
There are still events going on all over, so check them out by clicking here to search the Oxjam line-up.
