OK Folks here’s a reminder of what’s going on, an update of times and the tMP Band.
Event: Children in Need
Venue: The Mailbox, Birmingham
The Mailbox is just a couple of minutes walk from Birmingham New Street Station.
For further details of the Venue please click on the link below.

Meeting Times: From Midday onwards.
We would suggest that you aim to arrive in Birmingham between midday and 1.00 p.m. and head for The Mailbox building. We will need a rehearsal about 2.00 p.m. before we record. For those of you arriving later we will be in the vicinity of The Mailbox so we shouldn’t be that difficult to find.
Playing Times:
Rehearsal 2.00 p.m to 3.00 p.m.
Radio Broadcast between 3.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.m.
The times of play after this are still undecided but the information we have been given over the last 24 hours is as follows:
They have confirmed 3:00 p.m. on Radio and a TV clip (either live or recorded) will go out at 10:28 p.m. on BBC Midlands and hopefully National TV. They may also use us for the 6:30 p.m. Midlands Today News slot . . . again they are not sure if this will be live or recorded, we will be playing to the crowds during the course of the evening.
It is important to note that we remain together from 3.00 p.m. until 6.45 p.m. to ensure we have a full compliment ready for filming/recording. It is also worth noting that we will probably not be playing for too long on the Radio or TV, but we will hope to play for a longer duration when we play to the crowds although this needs further confirmation and clarification with the BBC.
There will be a special area cordoned off for us to play in the Mailbox but space is limited.
Don’t forgets:
Music: All music will be provided.
Uniform: Please wear your normal Band Uniform including Concert Jackets
Could you also bring a Music Stand, Stand Banner/Drape and Lyre.
(These will not be provided)
The Band: As you can appreciate, it has been a very difficult task selecting the seating arrangements to get a balanced band especially when we don’t know everyone’s capabilities. The positions have been agreed by the Moderators and Administrator on the information you supplied, but we sincerely hope that no-one feels offended with the set up. We trust you will enter into the spirit of the Event which, at the end of the day, is to raise money for a very worthy cause, celebrate The Mouthpiece.com’s first birthday and of course have a brilliant time.
