NHS Trust to join P!nk and Rag'n'Bone Man at Brit Awards

Rag'n'Bone Man and P!nk will sing together at the event, and fittingly the NHS choir will join them in performing in front of thousands of key workers who have been invited to attend.

The O2 Arena in Greenwich will host the Brit Awards 2021in early May as part of a Government-approved trial of indoor events without social distancing.

Soulful superstar singer Rag'n'Bone Man invited the group, who famously topped the charts with a charity Christmas single in 2013, to join the performance.

So the local trust's amazing choir will be offering their sweet harmonies and a lush vocal backdrop to the live celebrity duet's recent collaboration 'Anywhere Away From Here'.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust said the moment will be the "emotional high-point" of the ceremony.

The BRIT Awards 2021 with Mastercard is already a huge date in the live entertainment calendar – and will be the first major indoor music event to welcome back a live audience.

Around 2,500 tickets to the O2 arena soirée being gifted to frontline NHS heroes and their guests via a ballot.

Choir leader and Children’s Physiotherapist Caroline Smith said: “We’re so excited to be a part of music history, and truly privileged to be able to perform for our NHS family and all the key worker heroes.”

“We hope this very special version of ‘Anywhere Away From Here’ acts as a tribute to all the superstars at Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and our NHS colleagues across the whole UK, who’ve done such extraordinary work keeping the country safe.

“Thanks so much to Rag’n’Bone Man too for inviting us – we can’t wait for the big night!”

Rag’n’Bone Man said: “Having people attend this special evening makes me really excited for touring to come! I’m grateful that P!nk is able to join from across the pond, to my band as ever and the NHS Choir are sounding amazing!”

This performance comes hot on the heels of a big end to 2020 for the Choir, which saw them collaborate with Justin Bieber and perform at Windsor Castle for The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast.

All their rehearsals and performances are done in their own time, fitting around the vital work they do for our NHS.
