Sound for Sight is raising funds and awareness towards Sightsavers’ work eliminating the World’s 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 ‘neglected tropical diseases’ 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 ‘Mo Pleasure’ 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 “Back to Life” and “Keep on Movin”.
Charlotte was born blind at birth with no sight at all in her left eye and virtually none in her right eye.
“I 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.” – Charlotte Kelly
Denise Leigh
Denise made her operatic debut in 2003 by winning Channel 4’s Operatunity and playing the role of Gilda in Verdi’s 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.
“The treatment and eradication of blindness, in all it’s 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.” Denise and Stefan
Mo Pleasure
Mo is a renowned multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer. Mo began his professional music career playing bass guitar with Ray Charles. In 1993, Mo became a member of the legendary group Earth, Wind & Fire, and ascended to become the band’s musical director from 1994-2001.
Mo has performed with Stevie Wonder, Nile Rogers, Bette Midler, Roberta Flack, Amy Winehouse to name a few… He also played keys for Michael Jackson on his final comeback tour at the O2.
Dave Swift
Dave joined Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra in 1991 as his resident bass player, and has played with him ever since! He is one of the UK’s finest, high-profile bass players and boasts a musician’s portfolio that is second to none, having played for an array of renowned artists, from George Benson and Chaka Khan to Eric Clapton and Paul Simon.
Professor Dan Reinstein
Dan is a pioneer in laser eye surgery and Founded the London Vision Clinic. He is also a very talented saxophonist and often accompanies Mo Pleasure at London’s iconic 606 Club.
Georgia & The Vintage Youth
A 22 year old Essex Girl with big blonde hair, a spine-tingling voice and a master of the retro jazz/swing style of music that is both vintage and fresh (hence the name of the band).
Georgia’s sound is contagious and subconsciously gets you tapping your feet, whilst her ballads are stripped back allowing Georgia’s strong and iconic vocal to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
Joe Slater
A 22-year-old lad from Liverpool who blurs the lines between Blues, Soul and Rock ‘n’ Roll whilst taking inspiration from The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and Oasis.
“With his raspy voice, perfect pitch and soulful delivery, Slater is unquestionably destined for stardom….” London Hollywood
Don’t miss what promises to be an extraordinary night for a very worthy cause on World Sight Day.

This Hubble Space Telescope image features a bright spiral galaxy known as MCG-01-24-014, which is located about 275 million light-years from Earth. In addition to being a well-defined spiral galaxy, MCG-01-24-014 has an extremely energetic core, known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN), so it is referred to as an active galaxy.
Even more specifically, it is categorised as a Type-2 Seyfert galaxy. Seyfert galaxies host one of the most common subclasses of AGN, alongside quasars. Seyfert galaxies tend to be relatively nearby ones where the host galaxy remains plainly detectable alongside its central AGN, while quasars are very distant AGNs whose incredible luminosities outshine their host galaxies.

Don’t miss what promises to be an extraordinary night for a very worthy cause on World Sight Day.
Steve took this picture of me with Ava on our walk. I'm sure many people in the neighborhood have seen us out and about like this—although I usually have my camera strap over my shoulder.
Local bus spotter spots a withdrawn plaxton with muck gradually growing onto the bus as the vehicle hasn’t moved for months due to engine failure and is left in between some trees
I stopped on the walkway above panda canyon to see if I could spot Yun Zi and there he was running around and climbing he tree. He was in Pops old exhibit so it was possible to spot him every now and then.
Red areas indicate feeding birds (scaups,coots,pelicans,etc) and one loon.
Bay Farm Island, Alameda, CA
Why is this neatly packed up classroom an 'unwelcome' sight?
It's the sight of a classroom that is yet to have the carpets and windows cleaned.
It's the sight of a classroom with walls still wet with paint.
With a full program of PD next week and school starting the week after, this is NOT what I wanted to see today.
Top version is a reflex sight, that can have a digital zoom of up to 2x, and comes standard with the new SNYCHRO technology, allowing soldiers to transfer what they are currently seeing to the rest of the squad's helmet link-ups, allowing for more precise fire, and a more netro-centric squad. This technology also has the capability to relay iimages and up to a minute of streamed video back to HQ.
Bottom version is the sharpshooter variant. Same as above, but comes with variable 4x6 digital zoom, and built in infrared laser/ rangefinder.
Built for Team AK. TAK members feel free to use. Others must tag and credit.
Yey, first sight of my home for the next 5 weeks. We crossed from Siberia to Japan in about 30 minutes and the first sight we had was of mountains in the north. Cool :D
JB Tower seems safe (for now), but the CNW-era signal bridge at West Chicago days are numbered; the replacement supports are already up, and the signal bridge sits in the grass ready for installation. An eastbound led by a pair of UP SD70Ms curves through the scene in nice morning light that soon would fall apart to a gray, murky cloud deck ending the day.
Advanced Optics green dot laser sight mounted on Celestron Astromaster 130AZ telescope. Designed as a firearms sight, this unit works perfectly as an astronomical tool. Once properly mounted and aligned, you simply press the remote switch and swing the telescope to point the highly visible green beam at the object you wish to observe. Fast, easy and accurate! (and relatively inexpensive...the laser unit sells on Amazon for $22, plus $9 for the rail to mount the laser to the telescope)
Seen at Barkisland Stonlea is an Optare Solo M710SE for South Pennine Community Transport on the E4 service to Brighouse via Greetland and Elland. This makes quite a difference from the usual Fiat Ducado Mellor Orions and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinters/EVMs that dominate the route.
This vehicle is YJ12 GZH.
