Oxjam is your chance to fight poverty with music.

Oxjam is Oxfam’s month long music festival with a difference. Every year, hundreds of music events of all shapes and sizes are organised by volunteers across the country. This year, Oxjam has two main objectives concerning the outcome of these events: raising money and promoting Oxfam’s climate change campaign.

We are proud to say that this year, Oxjam is coming to Blackburn and it’s going to be spectacular!

Right now, we are asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone - to get together in October to make music, raise money and help end poverty. Whatever music you are into- from classical to club night, folk, funk, rock, indie and punk it all adds up to one huge, UK-wide, Oxjam festival - raising hundreds of thousands of pounds to fight poverty.

OXJAM Music Festival will take place on 25th October 2009 in various venues across Blackburn.

If you are interested in volunteering to help out with planning and on the day of the event, please contact:

We are currently looking for:

..... event organisers (why not organise your own Oxjam event at your local pub, venue, college or village hall. We can help you put it on!)

...... musicians

...... promoters

...... volunteers

This is an absolutely amazing opportunity and a great chance to really boost the enthusiasm about Oxjam and Oxfam in Blackburn.

We hope to hear from you!
