Oxjam Rocked

Oxjam 2007 really was one mad month of music! From Belfast to Kerry there were over 50 music events organised and it was thanks to all of YOU who organised, went along to and supported Oxjam events around the country. Keep your eye on our website and myspace page for photos and live footage! We're already tuning up for next October!
