Teen buskers The Mocktales will be outside Brixton Tube later today (21 May), playing one of 20 fundraising events they will perform this month.

They are in aid of the Mizen Foundation, set up following the murder of 16-year-old Jimmy Mizen in a South London bakery by a 19-year-old in 2008.

The charity, run by Jimmy’s mother Elizabeth Mizen MBE and father Jimmy, appealed for supporters to take part in its fundraising campaign #20daysinmay.
