Charity Seeks Ethnic Musicians For Concert

Children’s charity Feed The Children UK is holding a special concert of World Worship music at Birmingham Cathedral on Saturday 22nd November 2008 and is seeking two more ‘acts’ to complete the line-up.

This concert brings together many aspects of musical worship from all over the world, including gospel music, traditional sacred songs, church hymns & contemporary Christian music.

Regional fundraising manager Joy Cartwright says, “We’re seeking two groups of musicians who would like to join us to complete our concert line up.  We’re looking for an Asian drum band, and a choir that sings traditional African music.  If you know of a musical group or school that is of a very high musical standard and would be interested in accepting an invitation to perform at the event please contact me at Feed The Children on 0118 932 0095.”

As this is a charity concert all performers are donating their time and performances free of charge to Feed The Children so that the maximum amount can be raised to help the charity with it’s work in the developing world.

Feed The Children works worldwide, as well as within the UK, to develop sustainable communities and provide food and other necessities for those in great need.  The charity concentrates aid on children suffering the effects of poverty, especially those orphaned or abandoned. The charity believes that wherever there is famine, conflict, disease or poverty, it is always the children who are most vulnerable.

Feed The Children UK began in 1989 and over the years the charity has helped millions of children and their families both at home and abroad. The charity relies on gifts from generous companies, individuals and organisations to donate the goods and financial assistance needed in order to support the various humanitarian and relief projects.
