Lake says that a highlight of the show is will be the newly formed dance group Revive featuring women of all ages, including perhaps even Lake herself, who is a qualified dance teacher.
Windrush to Carnival is a Lord Mayor’s Charity fundraiser supporting Oscar, a charity supporting sickle cell anaemia research.
“Not only will it be a fantastic show celebrating and highlighting this important aspect of history, but it also gives the opportunity for a host of incredible local artists to grace the big stage and for the people of Bristol to have a great night out in one of Bristol’s best venues,” Lake told Bristol24/7.
