Hosting an Oxjam night
- A 'dead pop stars' Halloween ball or fancy dress party
- A world tour in one night - we are one world: play world music/songs from as many countries as you can
- An 'open mic' night
- Get musicians to play the most random selection of instruments you can find
- A hip-hop face off
- An Oxfam party - use CDs etc from the Oxfam shops and wear the clothes - with the price tags still on, of course!
- Charge admission and have collections, raffles etc to boost your takings
Oxjam at work
- Dressing as pop stars - or having an 'Elvis day' - collect money or get sponsored
- Having a collection at a lunch-time jam - play in the canteen
- A music-themed buffet - charge for entry eg Strawberry fields Forever tart; Frank Zappa's bacon fat sandwiches; Champagne Suernova truffles; Smashing Pumpkins pie etc
- A 'first record I ever bought' ID competition. Your colleagues bring in their first records, you keep a secret list of who owns one, and then you charge an entry fee for people to enter and match up names and discs
Other ideas
- A music pub quiz in your local - donate entry charges to Oxjam
- Busking for Oxjam - show your talent on the streets! Give proceeds to Oxjam
- The Ox-factor - hold an X-factor night at home with your friend as contestants - and you as judge. Donate entry fees
- A 'play and shame' party - play the worst records that guests bring along 'fine' the worst offenders and hold a collection
- Getting sponsored and play/sing/whatever
