The Plaza Oxford Street launches free Music Festival

The Plaza on London’s famous Oxford Street is hosting a ‘Stars in their Eyes’-style music festival in aid of three London charities.

Celebrity look-a-likes ‘Elton John’, ‘Stevie Wonder’ and ‘Frank Sinatra’ will be playing live from 17th March on a baby grand piano which will be donated by The Plaza at the end of the festival to the charity who receives the most public votes.

Core Facts

  1. The baby grand is a unique and striking piano, painted in patriotic British designs by Lee Campbell, a leading contemporary artist whose work was recently exhibited at the Florence Biennale.

  2. The three performers are representing the Brit Trust, Nordoff Robbins and the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.

  3. The Brit Trust gives young people a chance to express their musical creativity, similarly to Nordoff Robbins London which uses the power of music to help children and adults affected by illness and disability. Rainbow Trust Children's Charity provides emotional and practical support to families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness.

  4. Visitors to The Plaza can enjoy live performances of classics such as Blue Eyes, Isn’t She Lovely and My Way knowing that every vote will go towards supporting a very special cause.
