Concert celebrates man who carried 20 litres of water across UK

A concert took place to celebrate the arrival of a fund-raiser who carried 20 litres of water from John O'Groats to Lands End.

Ollie Mason, 23, took on the Olympian challenge to raise money for water-aid charity Just a Drop.......

The Water Jam, which took place in Battersea Park, was organised by Streatham based charity Music4Children and saw performances from up-and-coming musicians.

There were also inflatable water giants joining in with the action - portraying the lady of the lake and Olle the water carrier.

An area was set up for members of the public to make £10 donations, which help to provide clean water for children in countries ranging from Afghanistan to Zambia.

Mr Mason said: "The Water Jam is one of the highlights of my 1000 mile walk.

"I’ve been listening to music on my iPod for mile after mile and I can’t wait to hear the live bands performing with the fountain lake as their backdrop especially Brandon Lee Webb."
