A special live concert to mark what would have been the 80th Birthday of John Lennon last year, the performance features an array of star guests including MAXI JAZZ (Faithless), KT TUNSTALL, JOHN ILLSLEY (Dire Straits), NICK VAN EEDE (Cutting Crew), GOWAN (Styx), GRAHAM GOULDMAN (10CC), and more.

Available to stream and download from today, all proceeds will go to the charity: War Child UK.

Speaking about organising the live concert in the midst of the pandemic, and its release as a live album today, Sepp Osley says: “To have brought this show together in a year when so much seemed impossible, let alone a concert, was an exciting endeavour in itself. But when it all culminated into such a beautiful gathering of artists from around the world and a message of hope and unity at a time our world needed it most, we all knew something special was happening. I couldn't be more thrilled to see that moment captured on this new album and initiative to continue to raise funds for War Child UK at such a critical time. As always, I want to thank Yoko Ono, whose tireless works and efforts to carry on the legacy of John Lennon continues to inspire us all. We'll see you again in 2021 as we continue to strive for a future filled with peace and love for generations to come.”

Born in war torn Iran in the mid 80’s, Osley escaped the war gripped country as a child. Resettling in Canada, he pursued a career in music which has led him to find success both with his band Blurred Vision and as the organiser of the annual: ‘Dear John’ concerts.

With the announcement of the 2021 ‘Dear John’ concert imminent, fans can get their live fix a little early as Blurred Vision and Mollie Marriott line up an intimate live fixture at the Half Moon Putney in London on Friday, 30th July. A Concert for Centrepoint, tickets are on sale now here.
