On Sunday 3rd October, OxjamBrum took-over Europe’s longest urban bus route, the number 11 bus in Birmingham, for an afternoon of live music all in aid of Oxfam.  OxjamBrum, together with The Green Bus Company, navigated the outer circle picking up passengers and artists at 11 stops along the famous route.

Starting  in Kings Heath, passengers hopped on board to the sounds of local Samba band Oya Batucada.  During the next three hours, the bus made stops in some of Birmingham’s most interesting neighbourhoods to pick up Brum’s best musicians to play to the captive audience.  Throughout the day passengers were treated to sets from James Rea, The Bluebeat Arkestra, Mellow Peaches, Tom Peel, Miss Halliwell, The Courtesy Group, Susan Dellane, Misty’s Big Adventure and a DJ set from Josh and Stuart from Tantrums.

The event sold out in a matter of days so for the unlucky people not able to get a ticket, OxjamBrum sponsors GotSeeN.com live streamed all the action from the bus to their website.

If you like the sound of OxjamBrum then you can come and see some of the artists fresh off the bus, plus many more on Saturday 16 October.  For just £6 advance you can gain access to all 6 city centre venues throughout the day and night, checking out the best the Birmingham scene has to offer, whilst raising money for a great cause.  Acts include Sunset Cinema Club, Tantrums, Malpas, Isolated Atoms, Arcadian Kicks, Vijay Kishore + many, many more.  For the full lineup and to purchase tickets, please visit:  www.oxjambrum.org.uk
