pongo999 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 An all-star cast is being lined up for the city’s Christmas lights switch-on. On Thurs (Nov 18) Bradford’s very own Gareth Gates will join a host of local stars for the switch-on event. They include Bradford Bulls star Robbie Paul and BBC Fame Academy finalist Carolynne Goode who is starring in the ‘Dick Whittington’ panto coming to the Alhambra Theatre. There will also be top live bands, surprise guests and competitions. The Pulse Breakfast Team of Matt and Elisa will be hosting the fun live from Centenary Square starting from 5.30pm. The all-star cast will then take the stage to join together in the big switch-on at 7pm. As part of the switch-on show, Gareth will be performing a short festive solo set on stage. He said: “This will be the fourth year I have been part of the Lights Switch on show. It’s always good to come home, especially at Christmas & I’m really looking forward to doing something a little bit special” Bradford Council Leader, Coun Margaret Eaton said: “The entertainment promises to be a mix of Bradford stars, lively pop bands and fun competitions which should be a ‘hit’ with everyone. It will set the stage for the big switch-on.” Vanessa Mitchell, the Council’s senior projects and events officer said: “Judging by the hundreds of calls and emails after last year’s switch-on, Gareth is still number one in Bradford and it’s great he can make the 2004 festive show. More “We are still putting the finishing touches to the switch-on line up but we can promise a few special surprises on the night.” Ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I can't go, but I'm so pleased for everyone who is going - especially that he is singing. I'll be doing my best to ensure I'm next to my computer, tuned into The Pulse to record anything and everything that might be beamed our way. Grrr for ggates - I still can't get into the thread on this. Thank goodness for this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Wellcome Gazfan from me too. It would be just typical if the official boards go down just when something exciting is happening. Like it did when the tour started, they were down for days. It will be great seeing new photos of Gareth from the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
