\n “With the documentaries landing on Amazon Prime, more people than ever are going to see what this really means.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We’ve raised over \u00a3201,500 for charity in our first two events and we want the Grosvenor on 22nd October to be our biggest night yet – so get your tickets early, because this one will not stay available for long.”\n<\/p>\n
