For one night only, Grammy Award-winning film composer David Arnold is putting together an evening of music and comedy with performances from a stellar medley of stars including, among others, Mark Ronson, David Walliams, Kaiser Chiefs, Dara O’Briain, Rob Brydon and 2009 Barclaycard Mercury Prize Winner Speech Debelle.
This one-off, live event, taking place at Brixton Academy, is in aid of CARE International, a leading humanitarian charity that fights global poverty. Arnold, who is an ambassador for the organisation, said: “I have wanted to do this concert from the day I met a 20 year old woman in Rwanda who was orphaned at 14, is HIV positive and has to look after her two younger brothers. Without CARE’s support she would be unable to keep them in school, feed them or keep a roof over their heads.” He added: “I have asked my colleagues from the music and comedy world to get together to help raise money and awareness of the amazing work CARE does all over the world.”
Arnold has collaborated with a diverse mix of musical acts in the past from Bjork, Pulp, Mel C and Massive Attack, and has written the film scores for four Bond films and Independence Day. This promises to be a unique opportunity to see some of the most exciting acts in comedy and music today, as well as a chance to see David step in and perform with some of them.
Concert for CARE, Brixton Academy, Monday November 2nd.
