Oxfam Live Music Event - Are You In?

Be part of Oxfam's biggest ever music event! Oxfam is currently recruiting for volunteer music event organisers/promoters from all across the UK who can organize/promote a single music event. Over 1,000 Oxfam music events will take place during October 2006 raising money for Oxfam and creating a fun and innovative way of people showing their commitment to ending poverty in our lifetime.

Collectively you will make-up one of the biggest live music networks in the UK - using music to help support Oxfam's work to end poverty and suffering. You'll receive training and support from Oxfam and specialists in the music industry to help you run a smooth event - as well as boost your CV.

There's no limit on how big, small or wacky the events are - but the harder people party the more money will be raised for Oxfam! Your event will be profiled at a national level. With your help we can make this world a fairer place. For more information email music@oxfam.org.uk or call 01865 472369 www.oxfam.org.uk/imin
