Westlife and The Script to rock Belfast for Children in Need The Script will play at the Odyssey on 19 November Westlife and The Script are set to rock Belfast as part of next month's massive BBC Children in Need gig at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Thousands are expected to enjoy the spectacular show on Friday 19 November which will also feature former X Factor hopefuls Jedward. Also jetting in will be street dance duo Twist and Pulse, up and coming girl band Wonderland and the inimitable May McFetridge. Last year, thanks to the creativity and support of the British public, BBC Children in Need raised over £39m with hundreds of projects across Northern Ireland benefiting from the record-breaking total. This year's theme is "Show your spots, Let's raise lots". This could be as simple as baking spotty cupcakes or getting the boss to wear spots for the day. Every penny raised will go to disadvantaged children here and across the UK. To apply for free tickets for the hottest gig in town from Wednesday 27 October, simply log on to bbc.co.uk/tickets or telephone 0370 901 1227. Tickets will be limited to up to six per person and will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. |

Belfast Children in Need gig raises the roof and vital cash Saturday, 20 November 2010 Some of the thousands of people who enjoyed this year's BBC Children in Need gig in the Odyssey Arena, Belfast The Odyssey Arena was packed to capacity last night with Pudsey supporters as top Irish acts Westlife and The Script entertained the Belfast crowd for Children in Need. Thousands of fans wearing yellow Pudsey-style ears swayed to ballads from the Dublin bands, while one-time X Factor hopefuls Jedward served up their typical brand of high-energy performance. In London presenters Sir Terry Wogan and Tess Daly steered viewers through seven hours of entertainment. Cheryl Cole kicked off the evening with a performance of her latest single Promise This. The fun continued with the recently reformed Take That, chart-topping boyband JLS and Strictly Come Dancing stars. The night also featured appearances from the casts of EastEnders and Coronation Street while Formula 1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button competed in a go-karting challenge. A host of other celebrities including Kylie Minogue, Alexandra Burke and Peter Andre pulled together as organisers tried to beat last year's record total of £39m. The presenters of Loose Women gave a performance of Girls Aloud's The Promise, and the stars of Dragons' Den took part in a Come Dine With Me special. Fundraisers across the UK took part in events yesterday to raise money for disadvantaged young people. By 8pm last night the charity total was close to £6m. David Ramsden, chief executive of BBC Children in Need, said the broadcaster was “humbled and inspired” by the money raised every year, and called for the public to get behind the appeal this year.

Children in Need breaks record The BBC's annual Children in Need show has raised a record on-the-night total of £26,332,334 - £8m more than 2010. Host Terry Wogan announced the sum at the end of the six-hour extravaganza, which ended at 0200 GMT. The show was preceded by a One Show special, which saw the show's co-presenter Matt Baker end his 500-mile rickshaw ride from Edinburgh to London. Westlife and Susan Boyle appeared, and Fearne Cotton, Alesha Dixon and Tess Daly joined Wogan as hosts. Signing off at the end of the telethon, Sir Terry said: "That is the greatest single total we have ever made in one night, so thank you. "Thank you to the British people in these tough times to come up with that kind of money on behalf of Britain's children." Former X Factor boy band One Direction opened the show by performing their single What Makes You Beautiful. 'Extraordinary' Following his arrival at BBC Television Centre, in west London, shortly after 1910 GMT, Matt Baker described his gruelling rickshaw ride as an "extraordinary" experience. Matt Baker completes The One Show's Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need live on The One Show Matt Baker raised more than £1.2m for Children in Need with his rickshaw challenge "To actually see people running after you with money and wanting you to have it, it's just unbelievable," he told One Show presenter Alex Jones. Baker, who began the challenge on 11 November and cycled for up to 10 hours a day, raised more than £1.2m for Children in Need. As the live show kicked off, BBC newsreaders Sian Williams, Sophie Raworth, Susanna Reid and Emily Maitlis were joined by former newsreader Angela Rippon to re-enact the dance routine Rippon performed with Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise in 1976. The cast of The Wizard of Oz also performed a variety of songs from the hit musical, and revealed they had raised more than £10,000 for Children in Need. And the cast of Eastenders performed a medley of hits by Queen, on the set of the popular soap. Later, the Collective, a supergroup featuring Gary Barlow, Ed Sheeran, Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Ms Dynamite, Tulisa, Wretch 32, Rizzle Kicks, Mz Bratt, Dot Rotten and Labrinth performed the Children in Need single Teardrop during Friday's live show. Presenters Terry Wogan, Tess Daly, Alesha Dixon and Fearne Cotton during the BBC Children In Need Appeal Host Terry Wogan introduced his co-hosts Tess Daly, Alesha Dixon and Fearne Cotton Lord Sugar entered the Dragons' Den and Gok Wan, best known for presenting fashion shows, sang. The cast of comedy series Outnumbered performed Hey Hey We're the Monkees and the Muppets led an all-star version of the classic song Mah Na Mah Na. There were regional segments to the show, allowing viewers to see fundraising events across the UK. The aim of the night is to raise as much money as possible to help support children's charities across the country. A record £2,032,642 has been raised by BBC Radio 2 listeners, beating the £1,693,444 raised last year. |
