Amy Winehouse's close musical friends for Foundation Ball performance

Mark Ronson and Tyler James, who found success as a contestant on The Voice UK, are set to perform later tonight (November 20) at a ball for the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The event will aim to raise money for the homeless and Winehouse's father, Mitch, explained how important helping those less fortunate was to Amy:

"We’re just really carrying on the work she was starting. She was particularly concerned with homeless people as well. There was this young lady walking around in Amy’s house and I said, 'Amy who’s this young girl?' and she said, 'Dad she’s homeless. I’m looking after her.'"

The ball, which will also see live sets from the likes of Jamie Cullum and Matt Goss, will be held at London's Dorchester Hotel this evening and the Amy Winehouse Foundation aims to give support and advice to homeless young people as well as provide accomodation for them during the winter months.
