Oxjam began in 2006 to create a network of music-loving people across the UK, united by a shared goal of raising money to fight poverty and suffering around the world.

Nine years later they are still going strong with more than 45k musicians having played to 1.2million people at over 4.5k Oxjam events, raising over £2.3m.

This year on 18 October Oxjam will be taking over some of Brighton’s best venues so more than 50 acts can perform. The aim is to celebrate diversity. Venues include The Royal Pavilion Tavern, The Good Companions (from 1pm) The Verdict, Under the Bridge, Access to Music and 10 Below.
