Giles Terera said: "I'm sure for all of us our immediate response is to want to try and reach out and help, either as an individual or collectively. The community that has suffered this horror has always been a strong, close knit, diverse, creative one. As an artistic community we aim for those same values. At the same time it is a community which has been marginalised and ignored for a very long time. So as well as the vital response of trying to contribute financially and materially we have an opportunity to come together stand in solidarity with those directly affected and say this should not have happened."

The evening will also feature the following artists, although the line-up is subject to change*: Nikki Amuka-Bird, Julie Atherton,Rikki Beadle-Blair, Vikash Bhai, Dame Judi Dench, Noma Dumezweni, Clare Foster, Bonnie Greer, Tyrone Huntley, Cassidy Janson, Alexia Khadime, David McAlmont, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Omar F Okai Company,  Earl Okin, Jon Robyns, Stiles and Drewe, Claire Sweeney, Rakhee Thakrar, Mark Thomas, Rachel Tucker, Gok Wan, West End Gospel Choir.

All proceeds will go to the Grenfell Tower Fire Fund set up  to ensure the donations go directly to the victims. If you can't attend but wish to make a donation, please visit www.gofundme.com/grenfell-tower-fire-fund

Songs and Solidarity takes place on Sunday 25th June at Trafalgar Studios One. The evening kicks off at 7.30pm.
