10th Anniversary Mix & Match BallMidlands Corporate Finance Charity Ball celebrates 10 years on Saturday, 5th June, 2010 at the Botanical Gardens, Birmingham.Once again we are delighted to be raising money for the Make-A-Wish-Foundation - the charity that brings hope and excitement into the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses, by granting their favourite wishes. In 2009 the Ball raised 10,500: bringing the total raised during the last nine years to a staggering 107,000 pounds ! Birmingham Y Factor at the The Glee Club
The Great and Good of Birmingham's business community came together in a tunefest last night and raised a staggering 26,000 for MENCAP.Ed James, top DJ from HEART FM, was Master of Ceremony, leading the way as ten contestants hammered out a eclectic mix of notes, in front of a highly undiscerning panel of minor celebrity judges. The winner, sporting a Gold sequened jacket, was Nick Leitch of Endless. Nick's special rendition of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" moved many people in many different ways - some of them towards the exits. Some females on the front row were throwing undergarments at him: whether this was a vain attempt to muffle Nick or a gesture of future desires, is unclear. Others who graced the stage were: MACPRICE - Brendan McGeever and Nigel Price - "Back In The USSR" Excellent crowd warmer with Sgt Pepper outfits to match. THE DOLLY MIXTURES - Donna, Cat, Rachel and Gemma from Maverick TV - "Nine To Five" Got our pulses racing with this classic Dolly Parton meets French Maid performance. Sublime. LADIES ALLOWED - Bernie, Wendy and Liz from LloydsTSB - "I Only Want To Be With You" Full Marks for effort: got our vote for sheer enthusiasm. PHIL BURNS from Clearwater Corporate Finance - "You Never Can Tell" ...no you can't ! Pure Rock and Roll ! MARK BEARDMORE from DLA Piper LLP - "Amarillo" Mark came in bang on cue and went all the way. RICHARD EDWARDS from Deloitte LLP - "Sit Down" Despite the invitation, nobody actually did sit down. This was standing ovation. ANDY PARKER from PWC - "The Boys Are Back In Town" A very difficult song to perform, particularly so when accompanied by a load of scousers. KEVIN JOYNES from Pinsent Masons - "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" An epic ballad that didn't leave a dry eye in the club, expertly delivered by George Elton Michael Joynes. ANDY BIRD from Barclays Corporate - "Let Me Entertain You" Well-rehearsed and expertly costumed. Robbie would have been proud. Christmas at the JAM HOUSE !Dressed as various Christmas characters, the band set the scene by performing a 120 second nativity, before launching into a mammoth Rock & Roll set.Reports have been coming in that it was the best and loudest gig yet: our loyal groupies entered the Christmas Spirit like never before and pogoed until the cows came home. All-in-all a superb night out with about 9000 big ones going to the Acorns and Starfish charities. Look forward to seeing you all next year !  |
The Demons Of Tune return to The Jam House !Normally only our four Vocalists dress up at gigs: the musicians that stand behind them are obliged to wear black and not say a word. But this time we want EVERYONE to dress up, in their best Seventies gear - including YOU, our lovely lovely audience. We chose the Seventies because 92.3% of the Band remember the Seventies, they still have a wardrobe full of gear and this is a rare chance to wear it without inviting too much ridicule.OK - now the really important stuff - TICKETS !A single ticket is a mere 20 quid and you could buy lots of them.
