Jo Watts, a violinist in the English National Opera orchestra, is at it again.

Jo spends her spare time and cash in East Africa improving conditions for children with cancer.

She has rallied her friends across the London orchestra to give an inaugural charity concert at Crystal Palace on February 11.

If you can attend, or help Jo in some other way, this is an incredibly worthy cause. She says: ‘This incredible charity has not only sent local cancer survival-rates skyrocketing through brand new treatment facilities, expertise and medical supplies, but given those kids laughter and fresh hope through entertainment and education.’
