We cordially invite you to a weekend of good music (and even better vibes) in the form of Oxjam Sheffield 2011.

The festival will take place in several venues across town. Individual entry to each venue is 4 quid but you can buy a venue-jumping ticket for 7 quids. It all goes for a good cause, so open up your wallets. Let’s face it: you pay more that 7 quids for alcohol on a night out and none of it goes to charity so you technically have a karma deficit.

But seriously, it’ a weekend full of great music from local bands doing the right thing.
