Tribute to Kirsty MacColl

A celebration of Kirsty MacColl and her songs is taking place at Shepherd's Bush Empire on 10 October, on what would've been her 51st birthday and (in December) the tenth anniversary of her death in an avoidable boating accident.

Performers on the night will include Alison Moyet, Amy MacDonald, Andrea Corr, Billy Bragg, Catherine Tate, Clare Maguire, David Gray, Eddi Reader, Ellie Goulding, James Walsh (Starsailor), Jackie Clune, Kim Wilde, Phill Jupitus, Omar Puente, Shane MacGowan plus special guests. All profits from the night go to Kirsty's charity, Music Fund for Cuba.

Tickets are already available through some pre-sales and go on general sale tomorrow. It's nice to see the show already included in mailings from Shepherd's Bush and Ticketmaster and, no doubt, in all the usual places so you'll be able to buy tickets from your ticket-seller of choice.
