Closing BRITs Week on the 20th February at the Troxy comes a solo performance from musician and songwriter Damon Albarn, founder member of Blur, Gorillaz and The Good, The Bad & The Queen, who will perform tracks from his new album The Nearer The Mountain, More Pure The Stream Flows, as well as selected favourites from across his songbook.
BRITs Week is produced by AEG Presents, UK record labels association the BPI, and War Child, the charity for children affected by conflict. The event series is sponsored for the first time by Mastercard, headline sponsor of The BRIT Awards.
Proceeds from the shows will help to support War Child’s work that aims to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stay to support them through their recovery – keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future.
