MUSIC lovers are in for a treat when the launch event for Bournemouth’s Oxjam Festival takes place next month.

Twenty-five bands will play across three stages at the Shelley Theatre in Boscombe on Sunday, October 22, all with a shared goal of raising money for Oxfam.

There will be a Theatre Stage, a Lighthouse Stage and an Acoustic Stage. Acts lined-up include Disco’s Out (Murder’s In), Sirpico, Infinite Jest, Krista Green + The Bees, Sam Horton and Jonny Phillips.

There will also be a vintage clothes stall and cake stand.

Oxjam, which is now in its 10th year, is the UK’s largest grassroots festival with events taking place all over the country this autumn.
