Floods of Cash
Sep 15th
Thanks to everyone that came down to The Yardbird last night to raise money to help Oxfam with their aim to help 1 million people in Pakistan during the worst flooding in a generation.
The night kicked off with tunes from the Hamish & Friends live jazz band and some serious break dancing from JamFu. Performances from SmileyMic, a modern day one man band, creating loops live on stage, blah and blah all paved the way for outstanding sets from Birmingham’s illest hop-hop/funk collective and a special performance by award winning Jazz saxophonist and rapper – Soweto Kinch. Soweto managed a free-style improv about Pakistan and encouraged people to ‘put your money in the bucket’. Which they did. The night raised £650 for the Pakistan humanitarian disaster and set the tone for the rest of OxjamBrum events to come.
Check out the video from the night:

More people than the 2004 tsunami, the Pakistan earthquake in 2005, and the Haiti earthquake combined have been affected by the devastating floods in Pakistan. Oxfam are trying to reach 1 million if them to provide them with urgent clean water, sanitation and hygiene.
