OXJAM: Ireland's month-long music festival

Oxjam, the Oxfam-sponsored programme of musical events all over Ireland which will last throughout October, is well under way. Congratulations to Dublin band I Draw Slow, who have already won their place on the Oxjam Hot Press CD by popular acclaim.

As part of Oxjam, an old-time session will be held at the Oxfam Bookshop on Parliament Street, Dublin, starting about 2.00 p.m. on Saturday 25 October. The house band for the occasion will be Tim Hawkins (fiddle), Cathal Cusack (guitar), and Richard Hawkins (banjo), who picked together in the shop nineteen months ago (see BIB post of 25 March 2007).

Full details of Oxjam can be seen on the Oxjam website.
