OXJAM TAKEOVER in your city – Ldn, Mcr, Lds, Brm + more

[whatevertheweatheruk]

Welcome one and all to the ‘Oxjam Takeover’ 2009! Oxjam is the UK’s biggest music festival, with thousands of musicians playing across hundreds of venues nationwide to raise money for Oxfam to combat the negative effects of globalisation.

Some of the artists that have already played for the Oxjam crowds include The Editors, VV Brown, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim, Just Jack, Roots Manuva, Nitin Sawhney and the legendary drummer Tony Allen.
