It seems to have been forever coming, but at long last we’re on the verge of actually advertising the line-up for the Oxjam Bournemouth Takeover Event. Keep an eye out online, in shops, bars, venues, and finally… we can start actually selling tickets and raising money for Oxfam. We’re currently in the middle of a fundraising campaign, with our next event happening next Friday (3 Sept) at The Winchester with Matt Marr (full band debut), New Volunteer and Spiders. That same weekend we’re chuffed to be given the opportunity to run the Open Mic Stage at this year’s Purbeck Folk Festival. We’ll have some fun-time activity for kids there too, so if you’re there please come and say hi 
