DJ Lottie is the latest big name to join the line-up for this awareness and fund-raising event.

The wonderful lady of the decks will perform alongside Sophie Barker (Zero 7), Sharon Lewis (Orbital/Pooka), Phillipa Alexander (Hardkandy), Martha Tilston (Mouse), Shingai Shoniwa (Sonarfly), Soname (Tibetan singer/songwriter living in exile in the UK) and The Love Gods (acoustic set).

Rumour has it Tracy Thorn from Everything But The Girl may also be performing.

The evening will also be hosted by the Perrier Award-winning cabaret icon Barb Junger.

The benefit concert is presented by Brighton-n-Live and is in aid of the Iraqi people.

A spokesman for the event said: "Against the wishes of millions of people around the world, the war has begun.

"Public protest won't stop it ...all we can do now is hope for a speedy end to armed conflict. Despite the apparent uselessness of public protest, there is an urgent need for people to do something to assist those caught in the crossfire."
