BRUM ROCKS, from Misfits Music, is an opportunity for hundreds of amateur musicians, singers and rockstar wannabes to come together for a once-in-a-lifetime rock concert. No musical experience is required – you don’t need to be a music expert or even be able to read sheet music, Misfits Music will lead the performers on the day with their professional musicians and talented house band.

Attendees just need to bring their voice or instrument – anyone is welcome: singer, guitarist, drummer, bassist or any other instrument. Tickets are broken down by instrument from guitars with amps to drummers to singers with an Early Bird offer of a 20% discount (using code EARLYBIRD) to options to become a Brum Rocks Hero and pay it forward for other participants.

Rob Jones, Artistic Director, Misfits Music Foundation said: "We are so delighted to be announcing tickets are on sale for BRUM ROCKS LIVE! The countdown to what promises to be a once in a lifetime experience for rock star wannabes from across Birmingham and the Black Country has begun. We encourage people to book early to take advantage of the early bird discount and to make sure they let us know what instrument they are bringing and their requirements so we can make sure we create the best rock band possible for the gig on 14th July."

Call for evidence: Supporting women and girls to be physically active


The Local Government Association has launched a call for evidence looking at supporting women and girls to be more active. 

Research shows that women are persistently less active than men and the gender gap starts from a young age with 4 in 10 women not active enough to ensure they get the full health benefits

Cllr Liz Green, writing in first magazine, sets out how the LGA’s Culture, Tourism and Sport Board is promoting equality and supporting councils to help communities to be active

We are looking for case studies and examples of initiatives to get women and girls active to help us develop a resource hub and evidence to inform our discussions with national stakeholders. 

Please send your contributions to Samantha.Ramanah@local.gov.uk as soon as possible.
