Oxjam reminder: Sunday 25th May from 1pm!
18 May 2008
Don’t forget… n e x t w e e k e n d Bank Holiday Sunday 25th May 2008 everyone within a hundred miles of Southampton is instructed to converge on The Hobbit pub in that town at precisely 1pm (don’t be late or you’ll miss my set!) for 12 hours of massive musical mayhem and good times galore.
I’ve been given the honour of starting the proceedings, 1-2 in the afternoon. There will be barbecue there with good food, so no need to have lunch before you come down. You should obviously expect to be dancing for the whole of my set 8-), but then you’ll have worked up a proper appetite and you’ll appreciate that nice charred burger all the more.
And of course, it’s all for a good cause: Everyone involved in putting on the party is giving their services and equipment for free, so all proceeds and donations go straight to Oxfam to help those whose need is so unimaginably greater than ours. We get a really great party. They get access to fresh water, or a goat, or emergency rations, and the support of an organisation which continues to campaign for a fairer world, for the rights of the world’s poorest people to clean water, sufficient food, shelter, healthcare, knowledge… the essentials of survival that we take for granted.
