Jamelia, Cocker to play Oxfam shops

Big name musicians are to play gigs in an Oxfam shop to launch the charity's fundraising festival.

Among the performers through next month, at the unconfirmed shop in London, will be Jarvis Cocker, Fatboy Slim, Jamelia, Hot Chip, Killa Kela and DJ Bobby Friction.

The charity will also be selling promotional badges designed by stars Kaiser Chiefs, Chemical Brothers and Hard-Fi.

Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, said he had often donated old records to charity shops but performing there "will be a first".

The national Oxjam Music Festival will also see a 12 day buskathon with players appearing in 12 cities on a trip between John O’Groats and Land’s End.

Tickets for events at Oxjam, which the charity hopes will raise £1 million, can be won through the charity's website.
