AS part of Music Is GREAT Week - launched May 14 - a DVD compilation celebrating the most iconic British live music acts is being released.

It includes film footage and audio of legendary performances and is now available to mark the start of the GREAT Week. All profits will go to Save The Children.

The compilation spans three decades of unforgettable live moments - from David Bowie’s performance of Ziggy Stardust at Hammersmith in 1973, to Radiohead’s 1997 performance of Karma Police at Glastonbury, right through to 2011 when Adele performed Someone Like You at The BRIT Awards.

Music is GREAT Week involves seven days of musical celebration. It will be an opportunity for artists, bands and music fans to pay tribute to British music - past, present and future - through a number of exciting events and appearances. Details via Facebook (www.facebook.com/MusicisGREATBritain ).

Music is GREAT Week will be the platform for fans and critics to debate what's GREAT about British music and the amazing experiences that go with it: What was the best live show you’ve been to in the UK? Which gig did you camp out at the night before in order to attend? What ticket was your most sought after?

Talking about music in Great Britain, Jessie J says: “I’m so proud of being British, my accent says it all. I think it’s very important to be proud of where you’re from, and I don’t think anywhere is like the UK. I think music is a perfect way to celebrate and we make it very well.”

Jude Bridge, director of marketing and communications at Save the Children told the Gazette: "We are very proud to be partnering with Music is GREAT. For each copy sold, Save the Children will receive all net profits. That money will go towards funding our vital work both in the UK and internationally. I would encourage all music fans to buy this fantastic album which will help save children's lives and give them a chance to fulfil their potential.

The DVD is available digitally from iTunes and Amazon and on physical release from HMV stores.
