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…
