Friday got a bit messy didn’t it?

We presented our first show of 2010 at  The Victoria and raised over £300 for Oxfam.  Over a hundred of you turned up to say ‘I’m a Sister’, and yes we have the photos to prove it, whilst we showcased  Brum’s finest female fronted bands.  Thanks to Jodi for holding the night together.  You also scoffed all of the delightful cake courtesy of Simarjeet, Vlad and Cherry Sprinkles.  And once the wonderful live music had finished we all danced till we dropped to those wonderful ATTA girl DJs.

We’re still trying to recover if we’re honest, and did someone take our ‘I’m a Sister’ spot home to have a rest?  It was looking a bit worse for wear towards the end!  Frisbee anyone?

So suggest a brilliant name in the comments section of this blog post for our event and you could win 2 tickets. OxjamBrum presents . . . you decide!

Last night we headed down to the Bristol Pear in Selly Oak, where assistant manager Andy and the local Oxfam group from the University of Birmingham put on a fabulous little shindig.

Featuring stripped down sets from The July Days, Varney & Sons and Will Forrest, the gig raised another £70 for Oxfam and we got a ton of signups to the “Here and Now” campaign too.
