A MUSIC fundraiser is making a comeback at The Dog and Partridge this Sunday.

The pub, on Reading Road, Yateley, will host its annual event, Oxjam.

Local residents volunteer themselves as gig makers to raise money through music for well-known charity Oxfam, which helps fight against global poverty.

The event, organised by musician Abi Powell, has been running the fundraiser for the last seven years until covid hit last year.

Miss Powell is very excited for the event.

“This will be my seventh Oxjam event and they are always so much fun,” she said.

“The musical entertainment is going to be fantastic and it’s more important, now more than ever, to support grassroots music.”

Music from Treble 21, Mell Atkinson, Rocket Kings, Michael Tuffery, Pixi De Valle, Simon Williams and Fleece Lined will entertain across the day.

And a raffle will be held on the day, with prizes such as vouchers from Sassys Sugar Doughnuts, Big Fry Fish and Chips and a Body Shop hamper.

The fundraiser will take place from 2pm until 7pm.

Entry is free and donations to the charity will be welcomed.

For more details, visit the Oxjam at The Dog and Partridge Facebook event page.
