OXJAM

Oxfam’s month long music festival is set to take Chichester by storm this October. A number of Chichester venues will be providing the setting to showcase the talents of many artists and bands, who are all volunteering their time in aid of the charity.

The festival’s objectives concern raising money as well as awareness of Oxfam’s high profile climate change campaign. The debate about whether climate change is really happening is a thing of the past; the efforts of the international community are now focused on how we can safeguard our future.

Creating an event that can deliver a powerful message is a great way to achieve Oxfam’s aims by raising awareness and funds.

To kick start the festival activities in Chichester, the Live Lounge at Chichester Gate, one of 11 venues across the city, will be hosting the launch party on October 8, hosting the talents of a number of local artists and musicians.

“Such a positive response has been received from not just the venues, but more than 40 artists, and musicians,” said Director of Chichester’s Creative Media Company Kabuki Productions and Regional Manager for the Oxjam Festival Ajay Parekh

With something different taking place throughout October, at a variety of the cities venues, there is entertainment on offer to suit every taste that hopes to bring home a powerful message too.

To find out more about how you can get involved through volunteering, donation, sponsorship or through attending one of the events, please contact the oxjam team on oxjam.chichester@googlemail.com or phone Ajay on 07710 077399.
