Flex said: “Music has a unique power to unite us, transcending barriers and creating bonds that are often taken for granted. In these challenging times, many families are struggling to find joy and connection, especially during the festive season.

“[The Candlelighters Trust] is dedicated to helping children and their families navigate the difficulties they face. Together, we can make a difference in their lives by providing them with the support they need to feel connected and loved.

“I invite you to join me in this mission. Any contribution you can make will help bring light to the lives of those who need it most. Let’s come together as a community and show that we care. As the saying goes, "Just as long as you’re with me"

Guests can expect sets from Flex, Chris Powell, Dan Hills and Lowkey along with live performances from Sangliana and Daisy Brown.

The charity event takes place this Friday, December 19, from 7.30 pm at NQ64 on Merrion Street in Leeds city centre.
