PRESS RELEASE -Thursday, February 17, 2011
The SouthGate in Bath will resound with golden music through the afternoon of this year’s Bath Half Marathon on Sunday March 6.
For the first time this year a live music stage from 12 noon through to 4 pm featuring top local bands and musicians.
The Nutricia Stage is organised by The Golden-Oldies Charity. Goldies, as they have become known, are the 2011 Bath Half Local Charity of the Year and the music stage was the idea of Goldies Founder, Grenville Jones.
Says Grenville;
“As a Charity we bring together hundreds of elderly people each week, encouraging them to sing, smile and have fun togethee. I thought it would be great to have a live music stage as part of Baths massive Sunday celebrations when there are thousands of people on the streets of the city.
“I would like to particularly thank the SouthGate management who have been so supportive and of course Nutricia UK who are not only sponsoring the stage but also our team of runners.”
The music line-up will include well-known singer Gavin Lazurus, the Zen Hussies, the Ali Baba’s barbershop group, Claire Miller and stage compare will be Imogen Sellers from BBC West.
The Golden-Oldies Charity launched a £100,000 appeal in January to double the number of singing sessions it delivers this year. A recent independent report from the University of Bath praised the work of the Charity and the positive effect it is having on the lives of those who attend the sessions.
