During the launch of our site we were unable to collect some MySpace links, and this could have affected line up numbers 70 – 634. If you entered your MySpace address and the link did not appear on the line up page, please feel free to email your name, line up number and MySpace address to: webmaster@bjl.co.uk and we will see to it your link is added.

Look who’s been joining the line up…

Join the Line Up Versus Cancer

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

So, onto our Line Up campaign.  As you know, we’re all about people coming together to raise money and awareness.  If you’ve been to one of our concerts you’ll have seen the money can’t buy collaborations, and you’ll have felt the atmosphere.

This year, whether you’re at the concert or not, we wanted everyone to be a part of what we do, and be able to do their bit to make a difference.  So, we came up with the Line Up idea and badge.  You can buy a badge from various bars and shops around Manchester click here for a list of stockists - then all you need to do is come back to this site and register your name to be counted in the line up.  You’ll get your personal number to write on your badge, and we’ll keep you up to date on the concert, pick numbers at random to win heaps of Versus Cancer tickets and prizes, and let you know how your money is making a difference to cancer sufferers around the UK.

So far we’ve had loads of artists and people in the public eye who’ve supported us along the way sign up, for example Ian Brown, Mani, Danny McNamara, Sadie Frost, Tim Lovejoy and Badly Drawn Boy – keep checking the list to see who you’re next to.

We’ll be in touch soon to fill you in on all the concert preparations.  Make sure you wear your badge to show your support!

The Big Launch / Kicking off Versus Cancer ‘08

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Welcome to our new site! It’s been a busy week at the Versus Cancer office, as today marks the launch of our next concert – our third at the MEN Arena - on 23 Feb 08, and also the launch of our ‘Line Up’ campaign.

After our last sell out concert at the MEN, we’re really looking forward to being back there again in Feb. The performances at the last concert, such as Noel’s acoustic set, and seeing Ian, Mani and Cressa together doing Resurrection for the finale, made the hairs on the back of our neck’s stand up – and we’re hoping to better it this time.

2007 Gig

We’ll be announcing who’s playing over the coming weeks (just to keep you all in suspense!) so watch this space – or sign up and we’ll send you updates as and when artists are announced.
