The BIG GIG is a concert with a difference - just for Girlguiding members.Acts like Labrinth, Ella Henderson, Jess Glynne, The Vamps and Little Mix have all performed on the BIG GIG stage. What makes it really special isnt just the amazing performances - its the unique atmosphere created by 10,000 over-excited girls (and their Leaders)! Were renowned for being a noisy crowd and filling the arena with flashing bunny ears and banners. WinkBall reporters Gemma Grandson and Greg Francis.
Born and bred in the up and coming creative hub of Croydon, Gemma is a multi-skilled presenter with experience on radio, live events and online networks.

Her role varied from hosting events, interviewing on red carpets and award shows, to leading and participating in debate shows. Most recently, Gemma made it through to the last stages of Kiss FM’s ‘Chosen One’ competition, reaching the final five.
