If you haven't heard of Brixton Soup Kitchen where have you been? It is a service for homeless people in London – and it has been a huge success, receiving recognition and help from the likes of Joanna Lumley, Jessie Ware, Fleur East, ITV and many more. This Sunday 20th December it is teaming up with Lyrically Gifted to run a live music event at Prince of Wales in Brixton, where 100% of the profit will go to charity. This event is to raise money for hats, scarves and sleeping bags for homeless people in London this Christmas. Solomon, the founder of BSK, told OnTop radio: "Last year several homeless people died due to the fact that they did not have enough clothes. And instead of sitting and complaining about this on Facebook, we want to help make a change." So if you live in London, come on down to Prince of Wales (opposite the Ritzy in Brixton) 7pm. But make sure you get your tickets here and all of your money will go towards helping those in need without a home this Christmas. Now guys, I am not allowed to give anything away but I have heard about the secret special guests and you are not going to be let down, trust me! Even without these surprises, you can see the line-up is already amazing! Performing live: •Rough Copy •Randy Valentine •Youngs Teflon •Jordan Morris •Tom Prior •Dana McKeon •Ms Banks Plus very special guests DJs on the night: DJ Pioneer (kiss fm) DJ Melody Kane (SBTV, 1xtra) Barzy Boy (Lyrically Gifted/OnTop Radio) Doors: 7pm-1am, showtime 7:30pm What more can you ask for?
