BBC Birmingham Big Screen, Chamberlain Square, 12.30-2.30pm, Thursday 10 March


Chop chop! BBC Comic Relief organisers invite all bushy Brummies to a truly hair-raising event at Birmingham's Chamberlain Square between 12.30 and 2.30pm on Thursday 10 March.


In keeping with this year's Comic Relief's Big Hair and Beyond theme, Spanish performance hairdressing troupe, Sienta la Cabeze, will be snipping locks into more unusual styles than even David Beckham has had.


A top DJ wil provide musical entertainment, ensuring the crowd stamps its feet while the scissors are out for volunteers to have everyday objects incorporated into fantastic head sculptures.


The whole event, in aid of Comic Relief, will be filmed and broadcast live on the Birmingham Big Screen during the performance.


Notes to Editors


Since its launch 20 years ago Comic Relief has raised over £337m for projects in the UK and abroad and sold over 40 million noses.


For a free Fund-raising Kit call 0845 605 8000 (calls charged at local rate) or go to www.rednoseday.com and order online.


Sienta la Cabeza is a company created in Barcelona at the beginning of 2001, and is formed by the Brazilian hairdresser Fafá Franco, Ibithian sculptress Cécile Ribas and Scottish musician Mercurio. For further information visit: www.sientalacabeza.com
