The National Rock and Pop Festival is a non profit event run by teachers for pupils in education. It is our passion to provide a top class performance opportunity for pupils of all ages. Everyone who visits the event, (formerly at the NEC Forum Arena and soon to debut at the NIA), is blown away by the magnitude of the setup including 30 foot video walls, professional lighting and P.A. The stage has to big to encompass the wide variety of acts including massed choirs, jazz bands and string ensembles, not forgetting the numerous pop and rock bands in their many different guises. The Festival is a unique celebration of live performance and access to making music. It is held in a supportive, non-competitive environment with students encouraging each other and sharing their musical experiences. As well as all of the above the charity will become a registered centre for the Arts Award, so as well as taking part in the event, students will be able to use it as part of their bronze or silver Arts award.

Guitarfest 2009 - Sat 11th - Public Day Drumfest 2009 - Sun 12th - Public Day Consisting of the most shows, the biggest artists, the best retail village and now with 5 music awards under its belt, Drumfest 2009 is going to a whole new level of drumming mania!!!!!! Stick it to MS - Mon 13th
Can you imagine the sound and sight of over a thousand people drumming to the same beat, all under one roof? Can you imagine promoting the art of drumming, whilst attempting to break a World Record? It is an exciting venture – the only question is… can you imagine NOT being involved? This is your opportunity to support one of the most spectacular drumming event’s ever to be held in the UK. For one night only, at Birmingham’s premier concert venue, NIA, ‘Stick it to MS’ will be making noise about Multiple Sclerosis, the most common disabling neurological condition amongst young adults. Almost 2.5 million people worldwide live with MS, and around 50 people are diagnosed with the condition every week, in the UK alone. We have seen, for ourselves, the debilitating affect the condition has on sufferers, and we know ‘Stick it to MS’ is an incredible opportunity to raise awareness, and thousands of pounds to fund research. Every drummer will pay £10 to join. The race is then on to see who can raise the most sponsorship money! Joined by some of the best drummer’s in the music business, together, we know we can smash the current world record of just 533. With your support, we can make ‘Stick it to MS’ the most talked about drumming event of 2009. Together, we could make this a day to remember for everyone involved, whilst drumming home a message of hope for all those affected by MS. They say, to get your message across you have to make yourself heard
– No-one will fail to hear the beat of 1000 drummers. For more info please contact the following: Info@stickittoms.com http://www.stickittoms/.
