This year sees the launch of a series of live shows in London in celebration of the Mercury Prize awards and to raise money for charity.
A series of shortlisted artists have been selected to play at LSO St Luke’s on Wednesday 26th September amongst them Lianne La Havas, Jessie Ware and Field Music. The line up reflects the diversity of talented selected for this year’s album of the year award and all of these acts will support the more then worthy cause of War Child.
