    What is OXJAM?

    Spanning the month of October, Oxjam is a unique music experience that aims to stage as many music events as possible to raise money for Oxfam Ireland . We're asking musicians, promoters - in fact, everyone across Ireland - to put on all kinds of music events during October to raise money for Oxfam. There's no limit on how big or small the events are - classical, club night, mambo and metal, it'll add up to one huge, Ireland-wide, Oxjam festival - raising thousands to fight poverty.
    And we need YOUR help to make it happen.

    So What's Happening In Dublin?

    Glad you asked! We have three shows confirmed for Oxjam 2007 in Dublin. All proceeds from these shows go to Oxfam Ireland.

    Get Seen, Get Heard with MTV
    getseengetheard.jpg
    As part of Oxjam, MTV launched a brand new talent initiative called 'Get Seen, Get Heard' - calling out to the nation's up-and-coming music stars to get involved in the festival for the chance of recognition on MTV.

    Bands and artists playing at Oxjam gigs filmed their performances and uploaded them to a specially created MTV website. The most popular Oxjam acts, as voted by MTV viewers, are now appearing on MTV in a series of Get Seen, Get Heard profiles. Over the coming weeks the 22 finalists will be whittled down to a final five who will each receive a mentoring session with a music industry expert. The pinnacle of the initiative will see each of the five finalists performing at a series of special gigs to mark the beginning of Oxjam 2007, details of which will be confirmed at a later date.

    This year, four of Oxjam Dublin's gigs will be filmed for MTV's Get Seen, Get Heard initiative; at CrawDaddy, The Sugar Club, Radio City and The Hub.

    Oxjammers Dave Barry and Alan Connolly will be appearing on Phantom FM's "Access All Areas" with Edel Coffey on Monday, 24th September at 10.30am. Tune in for an update on Oxjam 2007 and more information on the event.
