American rock legend, Chrissie Hynde, and Pretenders guitarist, James Walbourne, are the latest act to be added to the star-studded line-up for this year’s Butterfly Ball.

In their only live UK performance this year, the duo will perform three classic acoustic tracks for the intimate audience at one of the UK’s most prestigious charity fundraisers, taking place in London on Thursday May 15th.

Staged by national charity, Caudwell Children, the Butterfly Ball raises millions to provide practical and emotional support for disabled children living in the UK.

The duo will join English tenor, Alfie Boe, and the princess of pop, Kylie Minogue, in performing for 1000 guests of the charity in The Great Room at Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane.

The evening’s host will be singer and TV presenter, Peter Andre.
