An award-winning Birmingham film and music production company is boosting the city's live entertainment scene with a charity music extravaganza (www.goodmedia.co.uk)

Goodmedia will be staging the event at The Bartons Arms on Sunday, June 28 in aid of Acorns Children's Hospice and the Foundation for Conductive Education.

The bumper line-up for the Music, Myth and Magic concert will include Birmingham's very own 1960s band legends The Move with Bev Bevan and Trevor Burton, and New Amen Corner from the Black Country with original Amen Corner members Frogman Curtis and Alan Jones.

Also on the bill are Birmingham's top acoustic guitarist The Celturian, who will be performing new songs with the city's ‘Lady Samurai’ Fay Yvonne. The Liverpool band Night Parade, winners of the 2008 Bass Genius award, will also be appearing.

Guests will be able to hear some of the greatest UK rock and pop numbers from the 1960s onwards, from The Move's chart-topping Blackberry Way and Flowers in the Rain - the first song to be played on Radio 1, to Amen Corner's top ten hits Bend Me Shape Me and If Paradise was Half as Nice, as well as the Bass Genius winning entry Demon.

The musicians will be taking advantage of a new live performance space at The Bartons Arms, a landmark pub and restaurant at 144 High Street in Aston that is in the process of being restored to its full Victorian architectural glory.

Goodmedia, a film and music documentary producer, recently received a Sunday Times 'Pick of the Day' award nomination for its Thunderfingers DVD tribute to The Who bass legend John Entwhistle, which is shown regularly on the Biography Channel.

The company also received an award of merit for outstanding achievement at the 2008 IndieFest Awards in California for its documentary Lady Samurai - and it recently released Head in the Clouds, a music DVD produced for Fay Yvonne in collaboration with Rick Wakeman and members of the Alan Parsons Project, The Strawbs and The Stranglers.

Fay Goodman, Goodmedia Managing Director, said:”With Birmingham's vibrant live music scene suffering through the high-profile closure of a number of venues, this concert will help put The Bartons Arms on the map as a great new location for both established and budding bands, as well as support vital local charities.

“Guests will not only have the opportunity to enjoy the sounds of rock legends, but will also have a great chance to hear the winning entry from Night Parade in the Bass Genius awards, an annual Eurovision-style contest that we launched at the Jam House in Birmingham last year to encourage and find the best new rock bands in the country.

“Night Parade have been highly commended by Rick Wakeman, who has played their music on his radio show, and the band are now producing their debut EP with the help of top Birmingham session bass guitarist Phil Spalding and John Bundrick, keyboard player with The Who.”
