Tickets are now on sale for a one-off benefit gig organised to celebrate Battersea community spirit fostered during the rebuilding process following the riots.

The Up The Junction concert will take place at the Clapham Grand on Thursday October 27 and the line-up will be announced in the next few days.

The gig, which was re-arranged from September 8, was organised by residents, musicians and businesses who want to help the multitude of riot victims.

Charles Baybutt, event organiser, said: "After seeing the way people in Clapham came together to clean up the streets after the riots, I was inspired to host a celebration of the community spirit shown by the people of Clapham."

Tickets for the gig cost £10 and are available online at tinyurl.com/64ndyhn> or from the Clapham Grand on 020 7223 6523.
