THE glamour of Bollywood will sweep into Southampton to raise funds for breast cancer sufferers.

A Ladies’ Night III event will see emerging artists from the UK Asian Music scene take to the stage in the city for the first time to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign.

This is the third event to be put on in aid of the charity which have so far raised £4,000, but the organisers, event management company AV8 Events, wanted to do something different this time around.

It takes place at the POSH restaurant, on Queens Way, on Saturday.

Host on the night will be Unity101’s Michael Steel and Geeta Uppal, with music provided by Southampton-born DJ Pav Storm and a DJ set by London’s DJ S-Ence.

Live performers on stage will include new UK Asian music talent, Bollywood singer Kishan Amin, Jeet from television series The Family, RnB singer Sham D and Urban Desi artist Chan Has, who will be launching his new single on the night alongside Vinu Jagdev.

Paul Atwal, from organiser AV8 Events, said: “We decided to go for a fresh concept and showcase some of the brightest new talent that is emerging on the UK Asian music scene, and feature artists that cover all genres of music as the ladies attending are from all ages and cultures within the community of Southampton.”

The Breast Cancer Campaign aims to beat the disease by funding research to understand how breast cancer develops, with a view to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.

Tickets cost £25, which includes a full three-course meal, raffles, free giveaways.
