Crypt Factor 2016 line-up announced

The show takes place at Elland Road on Thursday, March 10 and will bring the region’s property industry together to raise money for LionHeart and St George’s Crypt.

The event has raised more than £420,000 for the two charities over the last nine years, and is sponsored by Bond Dickinson, Bruntwood, Gent Visick, Morgans City Living, Pinsent Masons, Town Centre Securities Plc. The Yorkshire Post is the event’s media partner.

This year’s singers include last year’s winner Lakeisha King from Addleshaw Goddard, Dawn Allen from Pinsent Masons, Tom Cullen from Colliers, Joe Haigh from Bond Dickinson and Ben Hall from GVA.

In addition there will be duets by Andrew Thurman and Tracy Heywood from Fuse Studios, Emma Eastwood and Hannah Nota from Morgans City Living as well as Craig Burrow from Bruntwood performing with Rupert Visick from Gent Visick.

Tom Gilman from Kier, Richard Irving from ID Planning and Shayne Niemen from Niemen Architects will also perform as a group.

Jonathan Morgan of Morgans, said: “This will be our best line-up of singers in our 10 year history. They are all genuinely talented and have won or finished as finalists in previous years, so it promises to be a great evening and there’s no doubt it will raise a huge amount of money for two very deserving charities.”

Garry Howes from Gent Visick, who is once again the show’s compere, added: “There has been huge demand for tables and we already have an audience of over 700 people, who predominantly work in the region’s property industry. There are only a couple of tables still available, so any companies that still haven’t booked need to act fast if they are to secure a place.”

St George’s Crypt is based within St George’s Church in Leeds and has been at the frontline of support for homeless, disadvantaged and vulnerable people in Leeds and its surrounding areas since 1930. LionHeart offers all types of help and support to RICS members and their families who face problems in their lives that are often completely unexpected together with the stresses and strains of everyday life. These can include depression, disability, unemployment, family separation and debt related issues.

The remaining tables of 10 are priced at £1250 plus VAT and can be reserved by calling 0113 2615713. Further information is available via Twitter @cryptfactor.
