The Nottingham Music Call To Arms

Dear Nottingham music makers

The city's favourite radio show NottinghamLIVE is having its live Christmas special on Wednesday December 18th, and at first we weren't going to have a live guest.

Then we changed our mind!

Rather than going through the ball-ache of choosing one of you to bestow the honour of appearing on the Christmas show, we want all of you to turn up instead. You might have seen the Facebook post already, and a lot of you have already said yes. We basically want an all-star Nottingham choir/rabble to sing Christmas carols/songs on what will be Darren, Cassia, and my first Christmas special as presenters of NottinghamLIVE. You don't need to bring instruments, the whole thing will be singing/chanting only.

As is stands, we want you to turn up to the live show at seven o'clock at the Trent Sound studios, a lot of you will be familiar with the place already, and at random times we will do a song. As it's a Christmas show we will also be playing YOUR festive tunes of course, so make sure to email them to nottinghamlive@trentsound.com (they might also be played on my American show y'know).

We might come up with a more organised plan, possibly recording the whole thing in advance a week prior. However, at the moment this is all we have. To accept our invitation, please either comment on this blog or email us at nottinghamlive@trentsound.com

Steve (on behalf of Darren and Cassia).
