Oxjam Live Music - 19th Oct
19 October 2013 19:30
(Save to cal)
Bartons plc - The Gallery High Road, Chilwell, NG9 4AJ
Unbelievably this is the third successive year of the Oxjam Beeston Takeover. The local Oxjam team has started early this year and we have some ambitious plans to make the Beeston Takeover event on Saturday 19th October the BEST EVER OXJAM FESTIVAL.
Oxjam is Oxfam's month-long national music festival and runs all through October with hundreds of events around the UK, all organised by people who know and love their music scene.
Oxjam is the UK's biggest music festival. Since the first Oxjam in 2006, more than 50,000 musicians have played to over 1,000,000 people at around 4,000 Oxjam events nationwide. Over £2 million has been raised so far for Oxfam!
Some of the bands who will be playing:
The Jar Family - Headline Act!
Formed in 2010, Hartlepool band The Jar Family is a collective of singer-songwriters Max Bianco, Dali, Al Devon, Richie Docherty, Chris Hooks and former Squeeze bassist Keith Wilkinson.
The Jar Family are utterly fantastic, have had loads of press, radio and TV coverage and are terrific live.

"I'm pretty much completely independent, everything you see and hear on this site was done by me. I perform live with a loop pedal, and I like to experiment with the acoustic guitar.
My debut EP "Life Is Self Taught" is finally complete and available. You can either pick up a physical copy at a gig or order one through the online store. The EP is also available on iTunes and Spotify!"

Josh Kemp is a Singer/Songwriter, Musical Director, Composer from Nottingham.
Josh uses just an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal to create a sound to rival a band. Having played 212 gigs in 2012 on repetitive tours of the UK, Josh's well practiced audience participation means his set is well suited to both main stage festivals and more intimate acoustic gigs.
After a the success of his summer 2012 olympics shows in front of 18,000 people, he started turning ears and managed to land support slots with the likes of Mark Morris (from the Bluetones), The Coronas, Frank Hamilton and has played some of the biggest local festivals like Ynot Festival and Oxford Folk Festival.

The Phil Langran Band
Phil Langran's songs are a powerful combination of immediacy and slow-burning subtlety. Their melodies instantly take up residence in the mind while the lyrics pack a considerable emotional punch. The songs and lyrics are masterpieces of succinctness – all coming in around the three minute mark – and seem to work effortlessly on several levels, belying the craftsmanship that has gone into their making. Phil is not only a fine musician but also a writer steeped in the poetic traditions of Robert Frost and Langston Hughes. Like all the best songwriters, Phil has created his own genre, where Harlem nights and New York cityscapes rub shoulders with the West coast of Ireland and scenes from Werner Herzog's films, and none of them seems out of place.
