BRITs Week Presented by Mastercard For War Child continued over the weekend with triumphant performances from the Irish indie-rockers Fontaines D.C. and hotly-tipped singer-songwriter Mimi Webb. On Friday night the crowd at The Dome were treated to an exhilarating show that saw the five piece perform tracks from their Mercury Prize and Grammy nominated first two albums, as well as forthcoming LP Skinty Fia. On Saturday ‘Dumb Love’ singer Mimi Webb lit up the Omeara audience with a mix of viral songs from the past two years, including her EP Seven Shades of Heartbreak.
BRITs Week Presented by Mastercard For War Child gives fans the opportunity to see the biggest names in music in intimate venues across London – all whilst raising money for children whose lives have been torn apart by war. BRITs Week is produced by AEG Presents, UK record labels association the BPI, and War Child, the charity for children affected by conflict. The event series is sponsored for the first time by Mastercard, headline sponsor of The BRIT Awards.
Proceeds from the shows will help to support War Child’s work that aims to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stay to support them through their recovery - keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future.
The series continues later this month with up close and personal performances from Craig David presents TS5 and Damon Albarn. Full listing below.
