Sometimes one gives up and churns the PR: “The best of Birmingham’s musical talent will come together on Saturday 24th October to fight poverty through music when OxjamBrum takes over six city centre venues for a fabulous day and night of live music. The Flapper, Prince of Wales, The Victoria, Island Bar, Sunflower Lounge, and Birmingham’s newest bar, The Basement will showcase new music at its finest from 2pm-11pm, with 40 bands and 15 DJs set to play the event. Headliners Dinosaur Pile-Up will come straight from their European tour with The Pixies and local folk-pop singer Deborah Hodgson – who launched her debut EP at The Isle of Wight Festival earlier this year – will also play.” Tickets are available through www.wegottickets.com – £6 with 60p booking fee, half of which goes directly to Oxfam.

Pan pipe moods

Oxfam aren’t all about helping people in the developing world, they’re also on a mission to save Birmingham from the pan pipes. On the 28th August for OxjamBrum’s ‘Big Busk’ to raise money the council has turned over all its ‘busk stops’. “Eight of the city’s home-grown musicians will busk at the following locations: Centenary Square: at the end of the raised flower bed and in front of the REP Victoria Square: in front of the phoenix statue which is to the left of the fountain New Street: outside Pertemps and to the right of the main door New Street: outside HSBC bank Edgbaston Street: in front of the side elevation of Wagamama’s Edgbaston Street: between New Look and Sports World High Street: in between phone box and circular advertising column in front of Thornton’s and HMV Cherry Street: near Temple Row and in front of the cash machines which are at a raised level” Big-Chief-Busks-With-Recoder, won’t be featuring. I don’t think. More details and info about other stuff that’s happening over at the OxjamBrum website.
