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.

Oxjam To Turn The Gale Blue!
Aug 12th
This Saturday (15th August) the OxjamBrum team head to Birmingham’s Nightingale Club. We’ll be there painting faces blue to spread the word about Here And Now, telling people all about OxjamBrum and how they can get involved, plus of course, raising some vital funds for Oxfam.
We’ll be around the middle floor from 9pm and you can get free entry to the club up until midnight, so you have no excuse not to come and say hello!
Gin Parlour!
Jul 23rd
Very excited about tomorrow for lots of reasons:)
One of them is that the chaps at The Jekyll and Hyde have made us our very own Blue In The Face Cocktail: a heady concoction of Millers Gin, Blue Curacao, lemon juice and elderflower liquor.
Tomorrow night people……let’s paint the town blue and demand climate change action .
The best thing about it is, at only £3.50 a pop, you’re not only getting a top-notch cocktail, you’ll also be donating to OxjamBrum and helping to keep music live in your city – top boot!
See you there!
