Saturday’s 80s Lockdown Fest helped raise over £100,000 for Child Bereavement UK.

Jason Donovan, Toyah, and Tony Hadley led the line-up for the virtual event, which was held in place of the annual Let’s Rock events, which have been called off due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Five Star, Sonia, Wet Wet Wet, Midge Ure, and Howard Jones were also among the performers, who went live on YouTube at 7 pm to entertain fans and raise money for the non-profit.

After all of the performances, it was announced that the event had raised an impressive £105,000, which will benefit Child Bereavement UK.

The organisation helps children, parents and families to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies.
