    AceShowbiz – Jess Glynne and Jamie Cullum will perform at Amazon Music U.K.’s Festive Fundraiser event to help the musical community which has been hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.
    The special concert – which will also feature Nina Nesbitt as well as Amazon’s Ones to Watch 2021 artists Griff and Girl In Red – will stream live for one night only from London’s Roundhouse on 18 December (20).
    The artists will take to three stages at the iconic London venue, performing Amazon Original Christmas songs and answering questions from host Edith Bowman and viewers.
    The concert will also feature highlights of Amazon Music programming from across the year, including the recent Holiday Plays concerts with Miley Cyrus, Lil Nas X, and Foo Fighters.
    Patrick Clifton – Head of Music at Amazon Music U.K. – said in a press release, “We know it’s been an incredibly tough year for musicians…. We’re delighted to have these incredible artists take part in what we are sure will be a great night.”

    And Help Musicians CEO James Ainscough added, “Music has been a unifying force that’s supported and entertained us all this year, more than ever before. But for tens of thousands of music creators across the U.K. the impact of lockdown and social distancing on their ability to earn, to create and to connect, has been disastrous for their finances and mental health…”
    “We look forward to 2021 with hope, but also knowing the depth of work that is still needed to support musicians until they can thrive again doing what they do best – making the music that touches our hearts and souls.”
    All donations generated from the event will go directly to the Help Musicians charity, which has been providing hardship funding to tens of thousands of musicians since March.
    Amazon Music U.K. will also donate directly to the charity as part of the Festive Fundraiser.
    Viewers of the stream will be able to watch and donate live on Twitch at twitch.tv/amazonmusicuk.

      Weeks after releasing ‘The Pianoman at Christmas’, the ‘Everlasting Love’ singer stages a virtual piano lesson for 2,282 people as part of a fundraiser for the charity Age UK.

      AceShowbiz – Jamie Cullum has broken the Guinness World Record for hosting the largest music lesson ever.
      The musician staged a virtual piano lesson for 2,282 people as part of a fundraiser for the charity Age UK.
      Cullum, who was joined by special guests Robbie Williams and Sigrid, set out to teach his virtual students the Christmas carol “In the Bleak Midwinter”.
      “I am passionate about music education for all and also an evolving student of music myself only having come to the more technical side of music theory in the last couple of years,” he explained his motivation in supporting the event. “Even the very simplest things are very new to me.”
      Wrapping up the event, he said, “I hope this lesson gave everyone who took part, from the very beginner to the more advanced, something they can take away with them and was fun in the process. I loved putting it together and would love to do more in the future like this.”

      “Thank you to Jamie Cullum for an incredible, record-breaking music lesson this afternoon,” an Age U.K. spokesman said. “What a fantastic event!”

      The piano lesson came weeks after Jamie released his new festive album, “The Pianoman at Christmas”, which was recorded at London’s Abbey Road studios with a 57-piece orchestra.
      He said of recording the album, “It’s freedom within the limitations of the subject matter, but once you’re in the subject you can write about all the same things you do in other songs, as long as you throw in some snow and mistletoe. It allows you to think wide-screen.”
      He continued sharing, “If it were a regular album, maybe I would be shy about doing four choruses at the end of this song or having a huge orchestra come in only at the end of a song. But because it’s a Christmas album, why not? It’s like writing a musical; as long as you stay within the storyline, you can do anything you want.”
