Concert for Ukraine

Update: Tonight’s concert is now SOLD OUT.

But you can still donate to the Red Cross appeal.

At short notice, the De Beauvoir Association and St Peter De Beauvoir church have arranged a pop-up concert in support of the Red Cross Ukrainian Appeal.

Come and join us this Saturday at 6pm and listen to an eclectic mix of music performed by local artists wanting to show their solidarity with the people of the Ukraine. The lineup is still being finalised but features Hugh Harris (The Kooks), Zeb Soanes (well known as the “reassuring voice of the Shipping Forecast”), Benedict Taylor (viola), Raman Singh (acoustic guitar and singer) and more.

We will have a bar where you can buy a glass of wine, soft drinks and crisps and in the interval you can also light a candle. 

All funds generated are being donated to the Red Cross Ukrainian Appeal 

Tickets are £15, with donations for refreshments and options to give more on the day. Numbers in the church are limited so please book a ticket online to avoid disappointment.

In the interests of safety we request that people kindly wear a face-mask.

Fr Simon Cuff writes:

The war in Ukraine is devastating. It is impacting our community with those who have friends or loved ones in Ukraine and Russia, and is traumatic for those who have had similar experiences of devastation and war.

It feels helpless but as a community we can come together to raise awareness and funds for the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding. We will hold an act of solidarity and remembrance with a two-minute silence and the Ukrainian national anthem at the start of the event.

Please donate to the appeal, join us on Saturday and keep the people of Ukraine and Russia in your thoughts and prayers over the next days and weeks.

Thank you.
