Video: Jamie Cullum wishes Evening Standard readers a Happy Christmas

5 April 2012

Top music acts are taking part in a series of secret Super Busking gigs across two weeks, in Covent Garden's Piazza.

The events are part of Covent Garden's A Very Merry Christmas - a programme of free activity designed to spread Christmas cheer.

We caught up with Jamie Cullum at his Busking gig. The star let us know which Christmas present he is hoping for and wished Evening Standard readers a Happy Christmas.

With many more artists still to be announced, the dates and times of the gigs are remaining completely secret until two hours before the acts are due to play.

Music fans can be the first to know about their favourite artists by texting the first name of the artist they want to see to 63320.

On the day the artist performs they'll receive a text with the time the artist is playing. For every text sent, a minimum of £1.24* goes towards Covent Garden's charity partner, Crisis, the national charity for single homeless people.

Covent Garden will also be releasing information via their Twitter @CoventGardenLDN and Facebook www.facebook.com/CoventGardenLDN - so keep checking to find out the latest information.

Playing underneath Covent Garden's beautifully crafted giant snowflake decorations, intertwined with a bespoke light installation by arts and design collective United Visual Artists, the Super Buskers aim to get everyone in the festive mood and singing along.
