JLS, Saturdays for 'Sunshine' charity gig

JLS and The Saturdays have been confirmed to perform at the 'Sunshine at Christmas' charity show on December 11.

Taio Cruz, George Sampson, Lemar and former X Factor star Ruth Lorenzo will also perform at the event, which is held at The Troxy, East London.

The concert has been organised by Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, which grants wishes for seriously ill children between the ages of three and 18.

"JLS first became aware of Rays of Sunshine when they brought some wish children along to The X Factor last year," the group said.

"When it came to selecting a favourite charity, JB was delighted to choose Rays of Sunshine. He was truly stirred by the spirit of all the children he met, when he visited Northwick Park Hospital in October during his first engagement as an ambassador for the charity.

"Christmas is a special time of year for everyone and we feel privileged to be helping to spread some happiness and sunshine to so many families at Sunshine at Christmas."

More than 1,000 seriously ill children and their families have been invited to attend free of charge. The remaining tickets are on sale from £35 each.
