It is a charity event to raise funds for Oxfam’s work around the world and it'd be great to see as many of you as possible.
The new Songs of My Lap album 'Black In Back' (un044) will also be released on this night, with a donation from record sales going to Oxfam so please do come and buy a copy on the night if you can.

Oxjam Kent presents...
An evening of shiny indie-pop niceness, with fairy lights, featuring…
Brighton based CLEARLAKE make a long-awaited return the The Forum. They formed in 1999 and are signed to Domino Records (home of Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand as well as many excellent underground indie acts). They have released three critically acclaimed albums: 'Lido' (2001), 'Cedars' (2003) and 'Amber' (2006), and have toured the world in their own right including sell-out shows in the UK and America, as well as supporting Pulp, playing for Scott Walker at his legendary Meltdown Festival and appearing on TV shows including Later With Jools Holland. They continue to impress audiences and gain fans with their uniquely British take on indie guitar music and have just released the new single 'It's Getting Light Outside'. They really are a wonderful band!
