The Who Concert Guide

The Who front man and Teenage Cancer Trust Patron, Roger Daltrey CBE, took to the stage last night at an intimate event in London attended by Arsenal’s Manager Arsène Wenger and left-back Gael Clichy.

The event took place at the Bloomsbury Ballroom to announce details of Arsenal’s Annual Charity Ball which will take place on 21 May at Emirates Stadium. The Legends & Youth Ball will raise money for the Club’s Charity of the Season -Teenage Cancer Trust - and the Arsenal Charitable Trust. Roger, who is a huge Arsenal fan, treated guests to a live set of The Who classics including Pinball Wizard. Playing alongside him was Simon Townshend, the son of Roger’s band mate Pete. After his set, Arsenal’s Manager revealed details of the Legends & Youth Ball which promises to be an unforgettable finale to Arsenal and Teenage Cancer Trust’s season-long partnership.

The ball will be hosted by comedian and Arsenal fan Matt Lucas with a performance by hotly tipped young artist VV Brown. Friends of Teenage Cancer Trust, Rory McGrath and Phil Tufnell will entertain guests throughout the evening before world-renowned DJ Judge Jules hits the decks to fill the dance floor. Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger, and the Club’s first team will also attend the ball and Diamond guests will be joined by players during dessert.

Roger encouraged guests at last night’s event to dig deep and buy tickets for the ball to support Teenage Cancer Trust and help young people fight cancer. Girl group Hope rounded off the evening in style, treating everyone to some new tracks which will feature on their upcoming album.
