		<description><![CDATA[Big Vern n the Shootahs are delighted to have been chosen as the entertainment at the 2012 Great British Ball which will be held in the Shangri-la Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday 13th October 2012.  The organising committee chose Big Vern n the Shootahs over a number of international bands and artistes who pitched for the show. Big Vern n the Shootahs performed at the GBB in 2011 and are set to raise the roof once more and knock the audience&#8217;s socks off. Speaking about the invitation, band spokesman Martin Bell said; &#8221; In 2011 it was a &#8216;once in a lifetime&#8217; trip and we are pinching ourselves that we have the chance to travel again to a beautiful part of the world where we have the most generous hosts.  They treated us like very special guests and we&#8217;ll make sure we don&#8217;t let them down in 2012.  It is a fantastic honour to be invited and a very special night is already being planned&#8221; Further information on the Great British Ball 2012 in Malaysia can be found at: http://www.greatbritishball.com.my/index.html &#160; &#160;]]></description>
