On Saturday evening a small group of people (myself included) boarded The Boat That OxjamBrum Rocked at Gast Street Basin and were taken up to The Vale (in Edgbaston) and back being entertained by a bunch of local bands, musicians and singers.
The bands featured were Hawker (above), Sick Boys Club, the Alchemy Duo, Paul Murphy, two members of The Bluebeat Arkestra, Benjamin Blower (below), The Traps and The Young Runaways. There was a chap called Mike too but, to my shame, I’m struggling to recall his surname.
Very good it was too and congrats to OxjamBrum for another gig with a difference (after last year’s ride on the No. 11 bus). I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve got in store for next year.
UPDATE:
Blimey, videos of Hawker and The Traps (Your Headland, The Honey Drip and Calypso) are up already (thanks to Caroline for spotting this).
Thanks for this review and links! It was another epic OxjamBrum gig. We all enjoyed it so much and raised £378.81 for Oxfam. Even the weather couldn’t dampen the atmosphere!
