A CHARITY music festival is coming to York for the first time in its history.

Oxjam, a nationwide festival, will take place for one day in October this year.

Organisers are looking for volunteers to manage production, fundraising and marketing of the event, which raises money for the humanitarian charity, Oxfam.

Local bands are also being called upon to offer their musical services, while prospective venues are being searched for.
