NICK HEYWARD IN CANDLE LIT CONCERT
As part of the
OXJAM MUSIC FESTIVAL IN AID OF OXFAM
SALISBURY CATHEDRAL
Saturday October 23rd 2010, 7pm
NICK HEYWARD’s career in music began at 19 with the band HAIRCUT 100. The band had tremendous success in the UK and in the States with songs such as "Favorite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)", "Fantastic Day", "Nobody's Fool" and "Love Plus One". After leaving HAIRCUT 100 Nick had great success as a solo artist and is performing at the Cathedral to help a cause very dear to his heart – Oxfam.
’ Upon my first visit there 10 years ago I was completely taken by surprise with its lightness. There seemed nothing heavy going on inside and only the true celebration of the divine majesty of life itself. The return journey the same. It has only clear intentions, and that is reflected in its position along the St Michael line. It certainly connected my heart, so I'm honoured and very glad that it has come about to sing there, from the heart for Oxfam. Oh what a joy.’
This prestigious event will form part of the Oxjam Music Festival. Since the first festival in 2006, Oxjam has raised more than £1.2 million in total for Oxfam’s work. That’s enough to buy 10,619 emergency shelters, 48,000 goats or 705 classrooms. Oxfam is a vibrant global movement of dedicated people fighting poverty. Together. From saving lives and developing projects that put poor people in charge of their lives and livliehoods to campaigning for change that lasts.
