Edith, a long time supporter of Macmillan said: "I love how Macmillan have put the Big Mix together - they've got everything in there from folk artists and acoustic performances to late night DJ sets; comedy acts to burlesque. Sounds like the perfect way to spend a sunny Saturday in London if you ask me - I can't wait."
