Get It Off for Pudsey...
Our classic Scottish pop line up of The Bluebells, the Rezillos and Love and Money will kick things off then we will bring you musical and comedy highlights throughout the night.
As well as all the good music I will also be playing some terrible music - in fact some of the worst music ever recorded.
I'll be staging a special edition of the programme called Get It off. So, instead of asking you to call in and get It On I'll be playing the worst music of all time and ask you to text in, pledge some cash and ....Get It off.
Just so you can prepare for what you might want to get off here's a list of what's on the shortlist so far:
Black Lace - Agadoo
Paul McCartney - Mull of Kintyre
Clive Dunn - Grandad
Sinitta - So Macho
The Tweets - The Birdie Song
Chris De Burgh - Lady in Red
Steps - Tragedy
Mr Blobby - Mr Blobby
Middle of the Road - Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep
Bette Midler - The Wind Beneath My Wings
Sydney Devine - Tiny Bubbles
Chas & Dave - Rabbit
Aqua - Barbie Girl
Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up
Teletubbies - Teletubbies Say 'Eh-Oh'
Terry Wogan - The Floral Dance
Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around
Rednex - Cotton Eyed Joe
The Wurzels - Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)
I am sure many of our bloggers will wish to add their suggestions...

If you came along to see the bands in the foyer, thank you - I am sure you enjoyed it. And if you want to see the photos you'll get them by following this link.
We raised an incredible amount for Children in Need on Friday night in Scotland - so whatever you did, or whatever you donated, it's a really big Thank You from us all.

"All Because Of You" - Geordie
A young Brian Johnson girds his tonsils on this glam classic. Should be a show starter with lines like:
And let me hear you shout it (hey hey hey)
I wanna hear you shout it (hey hey hey)
Shout, shout it shout it (hey hey hey)
Come on, come on shout it (hey hey hey)
I wanna hear you shout it (hey hey hey)
I wanna hear you shout it (hey hey hey)
Come on and hear me shout it, now (hey hey hey)
Shout, shout it shout it (hey hey hey)
It was a time for shouts of "Hey, Hey!"
Bab's faves, The Glitter Band, were always good for a couple while Marc Bolan put a few in "Solid Gold Easy Action".
Perhaps Chris Martin and the likes should consider bringing back the "Hey!" to pop music.
Of course the big shouter of Glam was Noddy Holder, surely a shoo in tonight with his "Baby, baby, baby!" roar.
