This is Bristol

One of the most popular acts from Britain's Got Talent is coming to Bristol.

They had talent judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan in fits of giggles earlier this year.

Now Greek-Irish dance sensation Stavros Flatley are throwing their weight behind a charity event at the Marriott Hotel in Castle Street.

The only father-and-son duo to make the final of the ITV talent show will perform on Saturday, September 19, to help raise money for Child Victims of Crime, the only national police children's charity. Tickets for the performance are on sale now.

Avon and Somerset police's PCs Greg Miller and Adrian Peck, information officer John Cooke and retired MoD officer Richard Waters, members of the police motorcycle club Blue Knights, have organised the event as the grand finale to their 1,800-mile motorbike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats and back.

The "Charity Knight" will feature Demetrios and Lagi Demetriou strutting their stuff for free in a unique tribute to Michael Flatley. Demetrious said: "It will be an absolute pleasure to perform at this event, which is all about raising money for such a worthy cause."

Besides dancing, the event also features Bristol rock tribute band Trouble 'n' Strife and a buffet.

There will be an auction boasting lots including an exclusive tour of Formula One team Brawn GP, a tour of Chelsea Football Club and the chance to drive an Aston Martin on a race track.

Tickets are £20 and can be booked or calling 07974276858.
