BBC team ready for Children in Need fundraiser on Friday
BBC RADIO Shetland’s annual Children in Need fundraising auction and marathon radio broadcast is set to return on Friday (13 November).
This year there are more than 70 items to bid on in the early, star and late auctions, including return flights donated by Loganair, a butchered lamb ready for the freezer, and plenty of art and knitwear.
A full list of the auction items can be found in a document through a link below.
The night will kick off with Give Us a Tune at 6pm, presented by pupils from Brae Primary School’s P7 class. There is plenty of time to get dedications in by phoning 01595 694747, emailing radio.shetland@bbc.co.uk or by messaging the BBC Radio Shetland Facebook.
Then, from 7pm – 1am, listeners can enjoy music from Da Fustra, George Spence and Liam Slater, Dom Bogle, Scott Moncrieff, Zdenka Mlynarikova, Operation Shovel, Skelpit and Sugarcoated.
Presenting the programme is Claire White, Iona Nicol, Andrea Racekova, Ross Cowper-Fraser, Jessie Clubb and Cameron Angus-Mackay. Julie Dennison and Jacqui Birnie will be on the phones to take your bids and lead the auction desk in style.
Shetland’s Children in Need editorial lead Iona Nicol said: “We’ve got an excellent night of live music planned, as well as over 70 items for folk to bid on in our fundraising auction.
“A lot of work goes into making this event so special, and every year three times the money raised in Shetland, comes back to charities and organisations here.”
