Highlights of Sunday's fundraiser at the O2 for the Trust formed in honour of murdered teenager 18 year old Stephen Lawrence...on BBC1 now...feat. Jessie J, Emeli Sande, Ellie Goulding, Rita Ora, Beverley Knight...that's just the chicks...Rudimental jet-lagged from their tour of Oz play live....Plan B, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah, Dizzie Rascal, Rizzle-Kicks, Jamie Cullen, Labrinth....do it for the guys...

BBC1 10.35pm - 60 minutes...then on the red button

...fabulous gut-wrenching performance of Janis Joplin's Piece of My Heart by Beverley Knight, and then a heartrending acoustic version of Fallen Soldier on the red button ..unexpected song choice by Jessie J though - Amazing Grace complete with gospel-style choir....her hit Price tag shown on red button...

I really like Beverly but she is inclined to over-egg the pudding, showing off her vocal chops to the detriment of the song. I didn't see this, so I don't know if she was in melisma overdrive or not.

She was - but for an understandable reason - she's a great friend of Doreen Lawrence and her cause....
