The Grand Finale is so much more than a day-long public fundraiser, when groups of volunteers take to the streets with their bright collection boxes and friendly smiles on their faces. Usually, as a nod to our rock'n'roll roots, there will be concerts big and small and other sporting and cultural events, which serve to encourage people to leave their warm houses on a cold Sunday in January.
Artists, who support our cause and appreciate that the organisers cannot afford to book them at the regular performance prices and agree to perform for free, asking only to reimburse the cost of travel. That's why we have come up with a special database, which is available for artists and Chiefs of the Collection Centres alike. If you represent a band, and would like to support the Grand Finale efforts for free, you can register your band in the Bank of Bands. If you are a Chief of a Collection Centre, looking for a performer to brighten up your fundraiser you can browse the Bank of Bands as well.
Please bear in mind that all the bands entered into the Bank of Bands agree to forego payment for their performance!
