Love Is The Only Law - 50 Years Legal Celebration Launch Party by La La Music UK in association with KlubKidz Productions @ The Groucho Club

Love Against The Machine takes on the X Factor for this years Christmas number 1 with the charity single Love is the only Law. 50 years ago they fought the Law and Love won. But around the world the LGBTQI community is still persecuted, in 83 countries being gay is a crime, 8 countries have the death penalty, 24% have attempted suicide. EastEnders Star June Brown MBE joins Union J singer Jaymi Hensley and a whole host of LGBTQI+ celebrities to record a charity single and video to mark the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. 2017 is a special year for the LGBTQI+ community in the UK as it marks the 50th Anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967. La La Music UK and Klubkidz Productions wanted to celebrate this momentous anniversary year in their own special way and commemorate the work of human rights activists as well as ordinary Britons who fought hard for equal rights. To round off an amazing year of creative, arts and media events, we would like to celebrate the achievements of our past 50 years by releasing the song Love Is The Only Law and hosting a charity and launch event at the Groucho Club, Soho on Sunday 3rd December at 7 pm.
