		<title><![CDATA[St. George's Day Charity Event]]></title>
		<link>http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/topic/1981-st-georges-day-charity-event/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<div class='bbc_center'><span style='font-size: 21px;'>24 April 2009 at 7pm</span><br />
<br />
Ever wondered why noone seems to celebrate St George's day but come March everyone is donning green attire , wearing stupid hats and drinking enough to give an elephant liver failure?<br />
<br />
Yeah so have we. Things need to change.<br />
<br />
So 2009 is the time to celebrate your 'Englishness' in style, (on the day of our patron saint) by dressing up like a fool, getting drunk and listening to some live music.<br />
<br />
Sound fun?</div><br />
<br />
<br />
The 3 bands playing:<br />
-------------------------<br />
<br />
- False Miracles : Playing their first gig back after 2 years away, you'll have to make your own mind up on how the 'Miracles' have improved/developed. Metal stylings and dragon-style roars combine with melodic vocals to create a unique take on an often-stale genre.<br />
<br />
- Jake Bullit : Your friendly-neighbourhood Punk Band returns with yet another instalment of adrenaline fuelled, ear piercingly heavy, grunge/alt based punk rock that would make even the Mighty Dragon Slayer himself cower in his boots...<br />
<br />
**** Stolen Tom will no longer be playing, but will be replaced by a superb Rage Against The Machine Tribute band, well known as Renegades!!   www.renegadesband.co.uk   www.myspace.com/renegadessalute   ****<br />
<br />
<br />
Fancy Dress<br />
---------------<br />
<br />
Must be England Themed<br />
<br />
Ideas for costumes :<br />
<br />
- St George / The Dragon<br />
<br />
- Winston Churchill<br />
<br />
- Sherlock Holmes<br />
<br />
- Famous English Sports Personalitys<br />
<br />
- A London Bus<br />
<br />
... basically anyone/anything decidedly English.<br />
<br />
Random Prizes for innovation or just sheer hilarity.<br />
<br />
Live DJ<br />
--------<br />
Mr Mick Keen will be providing us with some of the finest in alt/rock/punk/metal/indie music for your enjoyment.<br />
<br />
<br />
Food (not just tea and scones)<br />
------<br />
<br />
<div class='bbc_center'><span style='font-size: 15px;'>And its all for a very good local cause at Wansbeck Hospital.<br />
<br />
What more could you ask for?<br />
<br />
So don that red and white (and we don't just mean a Sunderland Shirt) and get yourself along.<br />
<br />
UPSTAIRS at the community centre.<br />
