OxjamBrum’s next charity event is The Takeover 2011 on Saturday 15th October that puts bands in several city-centre venues throughout the day. I went to last year’s Takeover and it was excellent, so I recommend you check it out. Advance tickets are still available.

I’m currently compiling an article for FEED industry magazine about female fronted bands in Birmingham.

I’d like to interview (via email) as many female fronted Birmingham bands as possible to feature and maybe review for this article I’m writing. They should contact me at forerunnerrecords@hotmail.com

So if that’s you, or someone you know, or a local band you know of then get in touch with her.

Incidentally, Forerunner Records’ MySpace tells that they are:

the official record label of Matthew Boulton College in Birmingham. We currently offer our services to existing students, and have special events to search for emerging talent in the 14-16 age group

Which is interesting.  It looks like they’re going to get going in time for the start of the new academic year (that’s Sept 08).

Also, apologies for the childish and obvious title of this post.
