Live and Acoustic is presenting the West End Big Busk, bringing a range of West End performers to Cardinal Place in Victoria, to raise money for local homeless charity, The Passage. This new project, organised by Alex James Ellison, launches tomorrow (Thursday 26 March 2015).
Each performer will sing a 15-20 minute acoustic set and confirmed performers tomorrow include:
Jamie Muscato (Dogfight, Rock of Ages, Les Misérables, Love Story, Spring Awakening)
Brian Gilligan (currently Deco in The Commitments)
Jordan Lee Davies (currently in Les Misérables and previously on The Voice)
Cameron Sharp (Rock of Ages, West End and UK tour)

Donations can be made via www.justgiving.com/TheWestEndBigBusk or by coming and donating in person at one of the events.
The event is presented in partnership with Live and Acoustic, a gigging platform for the West End community, used to showcase new writing and acoustic covers. Live and Acoustic was founded in 2013 and was previously based at the Karamel Club in Wood Green. Its new home is at the Union Theatre where the next gig will be on 7 June.
Alex James Ellison is an actor and a singer/songwriter most recently seen appearing in Apartment 40c and Whistle Down the Wind. He has also released his own EP called ‘Duvet Days’.
Coverage of the West End Big Busk is provided by West End Video. The footage will be used to increase awareness of the charity and to gain further donations through social media.
West End Video has worked on projects such as the WhatsOnStage Awards and Cynthia Erivo’s debut solo concert, as well as several charity event events.
The next Big Busk confirmed date is 11 June 2015 at Cardinal Place.
