Florence Welch delivered a stunning cover of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" last night (15 December) during the virtual edition of the Nordoff Robbins annual Christmas concert.

Last night (15 December) Nordoff Robbins hosted the first ever virtual edition of their annual Carol Service, featuring appearances from Sir Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Saving Grace featuring Robert Plant and Suzi Dian, Jack Savoretti, OneRepublic, Freya Ridings and more.

Florence + the Machine's Florence Welch also took part in the fundraising event, delivering a beautiful cover of the festive classic "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".

So far the festive online event has raised over £300,000 for Nordoff Robbins, the UK’s largest independent music therapy charity.

Host Nile Rodgers said, "I’m very happy to have been able to do this for Nordoff Robbins and that Merck and I were able to bring so many of our artist friends along in support of Nordoff Robbins' important work. Thank you to those who gave generously and I hope this continues to bring joy to everyone throughout this holiday season. It’s crucial that we raise as much as possible for Nordoff Robbins to continue to provide music therapy to every who needs it. It truly makes such a difference."

Nordoff Robbins' The Stars Come Out To Sing At Christmas virtual event is available to watch until 5 January 2021. Visit carols.nordoff-robbins.org.uk to donate.
