Ed Simons, presumably well over his break up with Lily Allen by now, will play a rare reggae set in London this month. He's the "very special secret guest" that's been hyped for the Lake of the Stars Launch Party. Lake of the Stars is an annual music festival in Malawi and there will be a launch party in London to kick it off. The London party takes place at Unit 7 on Saturday May 24th and proceeds will fund the music festival in Malawi - "the warm heart of Africa" - on October 10th. The London launch party is headlined by Trojan Soundsystem, Justin Martin and is supported with a roster of top notch reggae/dancehall djs and house/techno djs.
