Due to various issues regarding the size of the room, we will be just having DJ's to accomodate more people. 

I'm very pleased to get Tracie Young back after a 7 year absence! Billy Sullivan from The Spitfires will be on board as well as the regular mob. We also have a special guest DJ to be announced. 

Every penny raised will be going to The London Community Foundation and Evening Standard Dispossessed Fund who are working closely with those affected. 

Big thanks to Stephen O'Neill Andy at The Middlesex, Simon Kortlang and Dom Alvarez for helping make this come together so quickly and Billy for the flyer.
