Diana Vickers Does Her Bit
Since the first festival in 2006, Oxjam has raised more than £1.2 million for Oxfam’s work. That’s enough to buy 10,619 emergency shelters, 48,000 goats or 705 classrooms. All the money raised and donated at this event will go to help Oxfam keep fighting poverty.
The venue, which has a 260 capacity, will play host to Manchester’s Cats in Paris and Stone Butch and the Bear, as well as Coppull’s Silence a la Maison on October 13th for the small fee of £3 on the door.
So, it's for a good cause, it gives you an excuse to slap some false eyelashes on and a dress that is way too short to be venturing out of your wardrobe in the middle of October, but who cares, I'm going to be there clutching a gin and tonic.
