OxjamBrum M4TP Special at The Victoria
Sep 3rd
| WHERE: | Upstairs @ The Victoria (48 John Bright Street, Birmingham) |
| WHEN: | Friday 10th September, 8pm – 2am |
| PRICE: | FREE ENTRY |
September is going to be a special M4TP – we’re taking over M4TP.
We are going be the “People’s DJ’s” for September, on the decks from 8pm, playing all their best party tunes as well as tracks from the bands that will be performing at the main OxjamBrum Takeover event in October. We’ll also be recruiting volunteers to help out on the day, as well as waving a bucket or two about to take donations for what is a very good cause.
As ever, the M4TP crew will also be staggering around behind the decks – they’ll play anything you bring along and our giant jukebox will be available, to give you the tunes you want to hear. Although seeing as it’s all for charity they might just bump tracks up the running order if you’re generous when the collection bucket passes you by…
It’s going to be great, so save up your pennies, dig out your favourite tunes and put the date in your diary…

Love Is In The Air… Speed Dating Night A Huge Success
Aug 27th
Thank you to everyone that came along to support our musical themed ‘Top 40 Singles’ Speed Dating night last night. The night raised over £200, which is enough to buy four goat couples for a family in need. The night was a first for the OxjamBrum team and we are happy to say was a great success. With lots of first time speed daters the atmosphere to begin was little tense, but after the free Pimms had been drained and the first track – the Proclaimers, I wanna be (500 miles), had been spun, the conversation (and drinks) were flowing.
The songs provided a great conversation starter (or stopper in the odd case) and its a braver man than us that admits to a Will Young track as his favourite tune. The night continued onto the Vic as new friendships began and people tried to ply us with alcohol to find out who’d given them a yes. But we were keeping schtum. So the matches have been made and now we’ll just wait and see, we’re not rushing out to buy a new hat just yet. But watch this space.
Missed out? Speed Dating not your thing? Already Taken? Then join us at one of our other events, not an awkward silence to be heard.

Oxjam presents the latest in speed dating with our musical themed ‘Top 40 Singles’ at Café Blend. We’re looking for 20 male and 20 female, music loving singles to come and take part in an evening of romance to raise money for Oxfam.
When you purchase your ticket let us know the artist and title of your favourite single for our DJ to spin on the night. Spend the length of a track getting to know another music loving soul, before… moving onto the next ;o)
So, if, like us, you want your other half to know their MGMT from their M-People and that Caspa is a happening dubstepper, not a friendly Ghost, then this is the Speed Dating event for you.
Tickets cost £10 (includes a free drink on arrival).
Remember spaces are limited!!!
Please invite your friends to the facebook event.

Photos from Music at Urban Coffee Company Evening
Jul 30th
On Friday 25th June OxjamBrum and Blue Whale Studios presented an after work music and art event. We ate cake, drank coffee cocktails (cofftails!) and enjoyed music from Tom Peel, Marlem, Elisa Little and Alex Moir. We also had a demonstration in live T-shirt printing by our good friends at INKwell. A good time was had by all and we raised lots of money for Oxfam in the process.
