The one day takeover on the 22nd October is part of Oxjam’s month of music, which runs through the whole of October. Oxjam is a festival with a difference: thousands of fundraising music events are put on by ordinary local people – from large-scale festivals to local sponsored busks – making it the biggest line-up of any music festival in the UK.
The Takeover will be happening across 7 great venues throughout Camberwell. Each venue will host a programme of music from soul to rock and everything in between. Acts include The Mouth of Ghosts, Glyphs, Soneni the Soul, Ruby and the Vines, Speaker Sleeper, After the Ice, The Joe Inman Project, Hazeltones, Ozonna, The Stow, Tamara Stein and many more. Local vinyl specialists Rat Records are hosting a full DJ line up which includes their residents Dominic Dawson, DJ Prophane, and Tony Thorpe (Moody Boyz).
Local Camberwell resident & Oxjam Takeover Manager Michael Armstrong and Tracey Alvares, who are helping to organise the event delivered their most successful fundraiser for Oxjam on the 24th September, 'Here we Are' silent auction at the recently opened Coldharbour London Gallery last month raising over £3,000. The event was a multi faceted combination of live art, music and an exhibition of donations all of which were sold. Michael Armstrong recently, commented “We’re really excited to be making Camberwell part of musical celebration happening right across the country. It’s all about showing that the best in local music can make a global impact – just £7 could feed a family, and £10 can buy five bags of seeds. Everyone who comes along can rest assured that as well as having a great time, they’ll be helping to change lives around the world too." Since 2006, more than 40,000 musicians have played to an audience of over 800,000 people at over 3,000 Oxjam events, raising in excess of £1.5 million. Oxjam Takeover events take place in the following locations in London: Brick Lane, Brixton, Islington, Chiswick, Stoke Newington, Camberwell, Lewisham, Shepherd’s Bush. Why not come down and support a good cause. Local Music, Global Impact!
