Former Fame
Academy star Malachi Cush will be making a musical Dash for Cash
across Northern Ireland next week all in the name of BBC Children in
Need.
The acclaimed local singer sets off on a gruelling trip throughout Northern
Ireland on Thursday 4 November aiming to raise as much money as possible
for the charity, in the company of Pudsey Bear and members of the BBC
Music LiveWires team, who performed at venues throughout Northern Ireland
during the BBC's hugely successful Music Live event last May.
The happy band of troubadors will be visiting the following locations
throughout the day, and are keen to meet up with as many local fundraisers
as possible, while raising money along the way for the charity which
this year celebrates its 25th birthday.
9.15-10.00am - Fairhill Shopping Centre, Ballymena
10.4511.30am - Meadowlane Centre, Magherafelt
12.151.00pm - Oaks Centre, Dungannon
2.45-3.30pm - Dunnes, Enniskillen
4.50-5.30pm - Rushmere Centre, Craigavon
7.00-7.45pm - Bow Street Mall, Lisburn
All times are approximate to allow for travel between locations.
Preparing to set off on his marathon trip, Malachi Cush said: "I
am really delighted to be able to help BBC Children In Need, which I
know raises an awful lot of money each year for many local projects
and provides a vital lifeline for people who would otherwise have no
means of supporting their groups and initiatives.
"It will be great to head out on the road with Pudsey and the talented
LiveWires team. I am also looking forward to meeting many of the people
who have been busy fundraising and will also be collecting some money
for the charity along the way.
"So if you are in and around any of the locations
please do pop down and see us."
Viewers can see how Malachi and the team got on by tuning into BBC Children
In Need on Friday 19 November on BBC ONE NI from 7.00pm.
