Annie Lennox has called on a bunch of her musical peers to contribute performances for the Circle Music Auction.
Sting, Emeli Sandé, Jessie J, Yola, Paloma Faith, Jessie Ware, Hozier, Anoushka Shankar, Jack Savoretti, Skin of Skunk Anansie, Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro and Frank Turner, along with the Eurythmics star herself, will all auction off performances for the charity.
Proceeds will help support women and girls who have been affected by Covid-19, via The Circle’s The Women and Girls Solidarity Fund.
“The crisis for thousands of women living in poverty is acute,” said Lennox.
“Many no longer have any income, are suffering domestic violence and have nowhere to turn,” she added. “I am delighted that such incredible musicians are stepping up to join me and offer support.”
Sting continued: “Annie Lennox is a wonderful friend and I am pleased to support her and The Circle in their important fight for vulnerable women and girls around the world devastated by the impact of Covid.”
Additional items being auctioned include an Alberta Ferreti silk dress worn by Lennox, a signed guitar from Taylor Swift, a signed outfit worn by Madison Beer for her ‘Good in Goodbye’ video shoot, and a virtual afternoon tea and two-song performances by BRITs Rising Star Award winner, Celeste.
The auction goes live starting today on the platform Charity Stars and closes July 10.
