YOUNGSTERS throughout Worcestershire and Herefordshire are over the moo-n at being chosen to perform at a Children in Need event.

Two Children's Variety Shows have been organised for this Sunday, complete with a pantomime cow.

Katie Smith, BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester presenter, will be having an udder-ly great time as compre for the evening.

She will join fellow presenters Mike George and Dave Bradley in a short sketch from the musical Oliver.

Also starring in the first show will be guitarist Steven McCarthy, jazz pianist Jack Buldus and singing sensation Adele Ashby.

Even the audience will have the chance to join in a song-a-long, led by Duane Whitehouse.

"Every year, Children in Need offers a real opportunity for people across Worcestershire and Herefordshire to help raise millions of pounds to make the lives of individuals better - and have lots of fun doing it," said James Coghill, managing editor of BBC Hereford & Worcester.

The shows take place at 3pm and 7.30pm at Worcester's Swan Theatre.

Tickets can be bought from the Swan Theatre box office on 01905 27322 and all proceeds go to charity.
