You might not know about this yet, but Twestival working with Concern Worldwide are awarded a $100k matching grant from Entrepreneurship Fund/Austin Ventures, so what is means for us is that up to this amount every single penny you donate for our event will be doubled!:)

Isn’t that amazing!?

So what are you waiting for! Give us £3 for event ticket and join us on Thursday to enjoy the party we prepare for you. By this simple fact of giving YOU yourself will raise £6 for a child who needs education, a better start in their life!

Had a great organisers meeting tonight with Sylwia, Graeme, Ji-Ho and myself. They kindly came over to Witney as I had to look after my daughter Daisy.

We’ve now sorted out all 3 events for next Thursday (well in theory anyway) and things are looking good.

All we need now is for as many people as possible to support it.

As you can see from the debris on the table much chocolate was scoffed and we polished off a bottle of white between us :-)

Cheers - hic!

CDs A Go-Go!

Posted on: at 2141 - Comment

I got home yesterday to find one of those tell tale cards from Royal Mail telling me that I was due an early morning trip to the Witney sorting office today.

On this occasion I didn’t mind because I knew what would be waiting for me…and I wasn’t disappointed :-)

A jiffy bag stuffed with CDs for our raffle courtesy of my friends at the music PR company Manilla.

With the music that I’m donating that makes to sets of 10 CDs to raffle off. It’s some pretty good stuff to with a mixture of rock, pop, reggae, dance and folk in each stack.

Ben Walker

After playing at the first Oxford Twestival, and excusing himself with a video message of support for Twestival from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for the second, Oxford’s Twitter troubadour Ben Walker is to join us once more for Oxford Twestival 2010. On the 25th March, Ben, famous for his solo work such as The Twitter Song, is very generously taking time out from playing Hammond organ with Little Fish, and will join us just after supporting rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures at the Royal Albert Hall! Don’t miss out, get your ticket now!

Meet the organisers - Graeme Hunter

Posted on: at 2245 - Comment

Hi there, Graeme here, very happy to help out with this year’s Oxford Twestival.

I’m 38 and live here in Oxford with my wife Sarah. I’m a software developer by trade, and have a keen interest in blogging and social media, which are in part what led me to attend last year’s Twestival, and to volunteer for this year’s events.

I’m also eager to support the efforts of Concern Worldwide, and their programme to support education in 28 of the poorest countries in the world. You can help too by donating, or attending Oxford Twestival on the 25th March 2010. Hope I see you there!

Hi there. Sylwia got be involved in this years event and I’m very happy to be doing so.

I’m 46, married with a daughter (Daisy) and live in Witney (the seat of Plastic Dave). I run an arts marketing agency called High, Wide & Handsome (you can guess which 1 adjective fits me) and a music site that promotes unsigned and small label artists called TunA the Day, which is fantastically good fun.

OK, that’s enough shameless promotion. PLEASE support what we’re doing at Twestival, especially the evening gig!

Help us by donating raffle items!

Posted on: 13 March 2010 (1 week ago) at 2354 - Comment

One of the ways you can get involved, also an easy way to promote your project, brand or simply name  - is to give us items for raffle. Here is my book I am donating just for a start!

Do join me - we will feature you on our blog and mention at the event! Thank you!

Thanks to the generosity of EF/AVHHF all donations and ticket sales are being matched through March 25 up to $100,000.

100% of proceeds support Concern Worldwide
