Alphabeat signed up to perform at return of Terrence Higgins Trust’s Supper Club

Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is pleased to announce that Alphabeat have signed up to play a live set at the charity’s annual Supper Club fundraising event on Tuesday 3 November. The Danish pop band, who are currently promoting their new single ‘The Spell’, have donated their services to raise funds for THT.

The Supper Club, returning for its ninth year, will see fifty lavish dinner parties take place simultaneously in some of the capital’s finest restaurants, including Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley, China Tang, Benares, and Scott’s. After dinner, guests will be chauffeur driven from their dinner venues to Cuban nightspot Floridita, for a carnival of champagne, dancing, and the exclusive performance by Alphabeat.

Debbie Holmes, Director of Fundraising for THT, said: “We’re fortunate to always have such a great level of support for our Supper Club event. In previous years, the night has seen fantastic performances from Sophie Ellis Bextor, Ewan McGregor, and The Puppini Sisters. With Alphabeat on board this year, it looks like the standard is going to be equally high. Plus every penny raised by the event will fund THT’s good causes, so we’re thrilled the band are able to be involved.”

Celebrity guests at the event will include Heidi Range, Heather Mills, Jason Isaacs, Kristian Digby, Dr Christian Jessen, Brian Paddick, Antony Cotton and Jodie Harsh, with more to be confirmed closer to the time.
