Plans for the 2012 ‘Blow For Heroes’ are now well in hand as the organising team look forward to a busy weekend at Butlins.

The fourth in the popular series of charity blows will feature a performance of Paul Lovatt-Cooper’s ‘Fire in the Blood’.

Massed band

Paul conduct the massed band on Saturday evening at approximately 8.30pm in ‘Reds Theatre’ following the annual awards ceremony.

Speaking about the event Paul told 4BR: "The Blow For Heroes is going to be a fantastic event. I’m really looking forward to hearing ‘Fire in the Blood’ performed by a massed band of hundreds of players.

It’s the least we could do to support the dedicated work carried out by our service men and women around the world. I hope we can raise lots of money and encourage as many people as possible to participate and enjoy the occasion."
