The 3pm concert will take place in the church of Our Lady Help of Christians, Lady Margaret Road, NW5 2X7 on Sunday, October 27.
With 40 singers and accompanist Eoghan Connolly, the choir will perform some classical works as well as traditional and contemporary.
Irish tunes will be featured, as well as one or two of Winehouse’s popular songs.

The free concert is a benefit for SanKTus Welfare Project and the Irish Chaplaincy in Britain. A collection will be taken at the concert to help support the work of these charities.
