Friends of the late Kirsty MacColl are organising a special memorial concert to raise funds for her charity The Music Fund For Cuba.
The O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London has been booked for MacColl’s birthday, October 10, where friends and musicians will perform to celebrate the memory of Kirsty, who died in tragic circumstances when she was hit by a speedboat while swimming in Mexico 10 years ago.
The 10/10/10 shows will feature artists including Alison Moyet, Andrea Corr, Amy Macdonald, Billy Bragg, Catherine Tate, David Gray, Eddi Reader, Ellie Goulding, James Walsh, Jackie Clune, Kim Wilde, Phill Jupitus, Omar Puente and Shane MacGowan.
All profits will be donated to MacColl's own charity, The Music Fund for Cuba which provides much needed support to young musicians and dancers who may otherwise be denied.
“Kirsty was such a good friend who had amazing stage fright, even though she was a great performer on stage and in the studio,” recalls Billy Bragg. “I hope the amazing line up at the concert can do Kirsty justice. Nothing can right the cruelty and injustice of her death and nothing can bring her back, but we will make sure that her birthday concert night will honour her and celebrate her.”
