On Sunday (November 22), a handful of artists joined together to raise awareness and money for refugees who’ve left wartorn Syria to find new homes. At London’s O2 Forum, Paloma Faith headlined the event, bringing Billie Holiday covers and gospel-pop with her.
The singer praised Mercury Music Prize winner Benjamin Clementine during her set, saying he “represents inner peace and how beautiful people can be”, while also thanking the organisers of the gig. “Although we’ve seen sadness in recent events, people are going and doing amazing things like this,” she said.
Birmingham indie quartet Peace took a break from writing new material for their third album to perform. They even played a new song written just for the gig.
They debuted ‘Kindness Is The New Rock’n’Roll’, which was drenched in distorted guitars and thudding drum licks.
