It was truly an amazing night and I know I had a fantastic time! Thank you to all the talented acoustic performances including Kelly, Colin and LiabilitY. Thank you to all the fantastic bands that played including Mash Attack, 4 Weeks Inbetween, Funky Tones and Missiles. To all the comedians keeping the cheer at Goblets, and to all the acts at The Art House including the popular Linguni Quartet!

A big thank you to the venues, Goblets, Hamptons, The Old Fat Cat, The Art House and Soul Cellar for all your help.

And a massive thank you to all the volunteers on the night especially Naomi aka ‘The Don’, Colin who celebrated his birthday with us in style, Tracy the Saviour of the night and Lewis for being himself and spreading the Oxjam word! Not forgetting Jennie who couldn’t be with us on the night but had put in alot of effort before raising funds to make the night as amazing as it was. Special thanks to Tom, Ian and Siobhan for your amazing speeches and face paints! Thanks to Alice the proud winner of the blue guitar and all the amazing volunteers who helped us on the night!

Cherie, one of a music event organizers is hosting a fantastic event this weekend in Basingstoke! On Saturday between 2.30pm to 11.00pm the Great Western Hotel will be hosting a quiz, blue face painting and DJ’s will be taking over the decks for all the family to enjoy! Situated just behind the train station, you would be a fool to miss this event, admission is only £1 which will of course go towards Oxfam’s Climate Change Campaign!

We look forward to seeing you all there!!

Don’t forget to keep buying those tickets! The link is found on the homepage and we are looking forward to seeing how you can play your part in this nationwide festival, and show that we want a better future by acting now against Climate Change!

Don’t forget to keep buying those tickets, the link is on the homepage and the money will not only go towards a memorable night, it will also help Oxfam’s Climate Change Appeal. Don’t forget the theme is to ‘Go Blue in the face for climate change’ so we would love to see your unique style of face paints and blue outfits! If you would like to get involved its not to late… you can organize your own independent event or you would prefer to join our team of activists please contact us ASAP! We would love to meet you and see how you can help.

There is only 3 weeks left to go until the big event and the team at Oxjam Southampton are so excited! We will be especially missing Jennie who has been our fund raising guru and in general a great member of our team but she will unfortunately be in Australia on the main event so we are hoping to receive a photo of her with blue face paint by Sydney Opera House!

I will keep you updated on our up and coming fundraising events and will see you all on the 25th!
