BBC
Children in Need Live
The
Stars Come Out to Play at Three Fabulous Concerts
The brightest and the best of the British pop scene will be giving
their all for BBC Children in Need this year when they perform live
at three exciting outdoor concerts across England.
Chart-topping
acts Gareth Gates, Atomic Kitten, Sugarbabes, S Club and S Club
Juniors, Liberty X, Busted, Zoe Birkett and Sarah Whatmore will
be dazzling fans at three free events on BBC Children in Need night.
The concerts, on Friday 15 November, will coincide with the major
annual TV event on BBC ONE, hosted by Terry Wogan and Gaby Roslin.
The entertainment extravaganza that brings together the cream of
British talent ready to sing, dance and wear fishnets - that's Jeremy
Vine as Franknfurter in Rocky Horror - to raise money for under-privileged
children in the UK.
The
concerts will be from 7.00pm until 10.00pm and will be free, but
concert-goers will be invited to donate what they can to BBC Children
in Need throughout the evening.

Executive
Editor BBC Events, Nick Vaughan-Barratt explains: "These concerts,
a new feature of BBC Children In Need last year, really take the
appeal out to the whole country.
"Last
year, on a cold November night, 60,000 people had the time of their
lives at the concerts and helped BBC Children in Need get to its
highest total of money raised ever - £25 million.
"This
year we are hoping for even more people and dare we say even more
money. And as always, all the artists give their time for free".
