Louise Redknapp to headline this year’s James Bulger Memorial Trust Ball

Louise Redknapp will lend her support to the James Bulger Memorial Trust later this month with a special performance at the charity’s annual Black Tie and Tiara Ball.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of James Bulger and the charity created in his name will once again host its Black Tie & Tiara Ball later this month and this year singing superstar, Louise Redknapp will take to the stage.

Last month a banner was displayed in the Kop during the Liverpool vs Everton Derby and on the 30th minute the whole stadium applauded to mark the anniversary of James being tragically murdered.

Louise Redknapp will take centre stage at this year’s event which has seen stars like Claire Sweeney, Sir Trevor McDonald and pop band Five all in attendance in pervious years. Last year’s ball raised over £25,000 to help keep a lodge alive which offers free holidays and respite breaks for families who need it.

The ball will be hosted by The Guide Liverpool’s Jay Hynd and Claire Simmo.

Denise Fergus, James’s Mum said:

“This year we have so many things happening not only in the charity with all the events planned, but also fighting to help the government change the way the Parole Board is run and the planning of the new reform bill.

I am delighted that Louise can help support us and I cannot thank her and her wonderful team enough for helping to make this happen. When I found out that she was willing to perform I was shocked, I can see she is a lovely gentle lady and a caring mother herself, so I cannot wait to meet her.”

Louise has had 18 Top 20 singles, six with Eternal and 12 solo. Her debut solo album Naked sold over one million copies and overall she has sold over 15 million records worldwide and five million records in the UK.

Louise will be headlining the annual event at the Crowne Plaza Liverpool on Saturday 25th March nd you can book to see her perform live with a 3 course meal and a glass of bubbly on arrival for £65 per person.
