Sound for Sight is raising funds and awareness towards Sightsaversâ work eliminating the Worldâs leading cause of preventable blindness, trachoma.
Trachoma is a bacterial infection linked to inadequate water and sanitation and passed on by flies. It is referred to as âneglected tropical diseasesâ and can be prevented and ultimately eliminated entirely.
The Sound for Sight audience will be taken on a spectacular sensory experience during the show that has been carefully curated by Sound for Sight Founder, Laura Westcott and âMo Pleasureâ the former Music Director of Earth, Wind & Fire.
Charlotte Kelly, Soul II Soul
Charlotte rose to fame in the mid 1990s as one of the lead singers of British R&B group Soul II Soul, with hit songs âBack to Lifeâ and âKeep on Movinâ.
Charlotte was born blind at birth with no sight at all in her left eye and virtually none in her right eye.
âI am very excited and delighted to perform at Sound for Sight because being blind from birth, sound is one of the most important tools we possess as blind and visually impaired people. So, treatment and eradication of blindness is a blessing for the growth on the human experience.â â Charlotte Kelly
Denise Leigh
Denise made her operatic debut in 2003 by winning Channel 4âs Operatunity and playing the role of Gilda in Verdiâs Rigoletto at the London Coliseum.
Since then, Denise has sung all over the world and was honoured to headline the London 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony.
Both Denise and her husband Stefan (who will accompany Denise on piano) are visually impaired with a visually impaired son.
âThe treatment and eradication of blindness, in all itâs forms, is a cause very close to our hearts and we are delighted to be performing at Sound for Sight to help fund research and treatment.â Denise and Stefan

Joe Slater

Hello !
Once, upon a time, there was a Troll who was very naughty, it was such a bad thing it cannot be told here else, well...so I punish him by saying to my Wizard Trolls, "Re-make/re-model him in the semblance of Simon Dee, so that all shall shun him and until he repents he shall be as Simon Dee, OK !"
But he comes out looking like Tony Blair, also smelling like Tony Blair. Close enough.
So, he goes about frightening children, he does cry "My father in law was a randy scouse git and in porn movies !" and "Let's play at being prime ministers, me baggsies first..." and he is not any fun at all.
And so it is that the Batman is out wearing his best braces. "Gawd, luvvaduck !" he exclaims "What is that smell, oh it's Tony Blair..." before moving on swiftly.
"Well !" says TonyBlairTroll. "No-one AT ALL will play with me...I'd better have a huff..."
A tear ! A-ha ! It could be....
Walk Tall !

A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.
Kestrels are found in a wide variety of habitats, from moor and heath, to farmland and urban areas. The only places they do not favour are dense forests, vast treeless wetlands and mountains. They are a familiar sight, hovering beside a motorway, or other main road. They can often be seen perched on a high tree branch, or on a telephone post or wire, on the look out for prey.

The New York City Department of Transportation's Urban Art Program, New York Cares and the Mayor's Community Affairs Unit organized two Barrier Beautification painting events in conjunction with New York Cares Service Day on Saturday, October 19, 2013. The Urban Art Program is collaborating for the first time with a current student at FIT as part of the Barrier Beautification program. Brooklyn-based artist Brittany Falussy joined volunteers to beautify 200 feet of concrete barriers along Bruckner Boulevard and Gerard Avenue in the Bronx.
The illustrative design "Sight Scene" depicts different colored heads wearing various eye glasses. The design is inspired by the artists many trips on the subway and seeing no only all different types of people, but all different types of eye ware.

The legendary 'Shop at Binns' slogan (as seen here adorning preserved former Northern General Transport AEC Routemaster, 2105) was a familiar sight on buses throughout north east England for a number of decades up until the mid-1980s.
From the 'Sunderland Echo' website, some information on the store itself:
The legendary store was founded as a draper by George Binns in 1811, and was the forerunner of a Binns empire which stretched the length of the country.
Initially based in High Street, the shop was moved first to Villiers Street, and then to High Street West in 1856, as the shopping district moved steadily westwards.
By 1884, with George's grandson, Joseph John Binns in charge, it was all change as two houses in Fawcett Street were converted into a new store. The firm then became a limited liability company in 1897, known as H Binns, Son & Co Ltd, and was employing a staff of 30 just two years later.
The next 20 years saw the store expand rapidly, with the Binns family buying up almost the entire block on Sunderland's Fawcett Street to store and sell their merchandise.
Binns stores throughout the North of England and Scotland were flourishing by 1920, while 1921 found the firm trading from both sides of Fawcett Street too.
The "Hungry Thirties" saw Binns survive the recession by aggressive marketing, even chartering special buses to bring the customers in. And, despite major damage during the bombing raids of World War Two, the firm rose from the ashes in 1949, with work starting on a new five-storey building.
Just a month after re-opening in March 1953, however, it was taken over by House of Fraser – going on to become a flagship of the business. Expansion followed in 1958, when work on a four-storey building started. A spiral staircase leading up to the furniture department was a feature of the new shop. An underground subway was also created to link the stores, so that shoppers could move between both Binns shops without having to cross the busy road.
The subway cost £15,000 and, in 1962, was the only one of its type in the North East. Today, it is thought to still exist – but is not in public use.
The Al Fayed brothers took over the firm in 1985 and, following a drop in customer numbers over the next few years, the east side store was closed in April, 1989.
Eventually, however, the decision was taken to close Binns for good in 1993 – to the sadness and disbelief of its many loyal customers. The move brought the loss of 140 jobs and was blamed on the recession and the House of Fraser at the MetroCentre.
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.”
