UNABASHED musicians from across the county are gearing up to bare all for a naked band calendar in aid of Worcester Music Festival and its chosen charities for 2013. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone from a punk metal band to a classically-trained violinist are getting their kit off for the calendar \u2013 which will go on sale in July – with only their instruments to protect their modesty.<\/p>\n

Full bands involved are The Whipjacks, The Stiff Joints, 11:11, Jasper In The Company Of Others and Calm Like A Riot, with John Noblet from Johnny Kowalski and the Sexy Weirdos and Ronin frontman Kit Kinrade also modelling their birthday suits for the rear-ly good cause.<\/p>\n

Doing it for the girls will be violinist Zoe Bell, drummer Joby Hill, also known as Ladystix, from BSN [4:20], singer guitarist Sophia Liana from Psyflyer, singer songwriter Sally Haines and bassist Tonina Westgate from Hitchhiker and the aptly named Stripped Down Blues.<\/p>\n

Siani Price, organiser and chief of promoters for Worcester Music Festival, said: \u201cWe got the idea from the whole Calendar Girls thing, but, with such an eclectic and eccentric line-up of amazing musicians involved, this is going to be something else. We even got a mention from Tom Robinson on his BBC 6 Music show last week. Now, we just need to drum up support for the project and encourage people to buy the calendar when it goes on sale in July.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the calendar will be shared between Worcester Music Festival\u2019s chosen charities for 2013 – Sight Concern Worcestershire and Worcester Deaf Children\u2019s Society – and the festival itself, which takes places from August 30 \u2013 September 1 and is run completely by volunteers, relying on donations and fundraising to survive.<\/p>\n

Applications to play at this year\u2019s multi-venue festival closed on Tuesday (April 30), with a staggering 841 acts requesting a slot at the annual, free showcase of live, original music.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in sponsoring one of the remaining five months of the calendar – which will run from September 2013 \u2013 August 2014 \u2013 for just \u00a350, email sianidriver@gmail.com<\/a> or call 07917 701257.
