BANDS CAMPAIGN FOR LONDON’S HOMELESS
British bands HOT CHIP, THE BLUETONES and DODGY are joining forces to help London’s homeless, by playing a series of secret gigs around the city.
All proceeds from the May 2009 concerts will go to homeless charity, Crisis.
Hot Chip star Al Doyle explains the cause: "Whether they would like to admit it or not, most people have an image in their head of a ‘homeless person’, the old-fashioned and unhelpful figure of the down-and-out, who in fact is entirely unrepresentative of the majority of homeless people in the UK. These are the hidden homeless, who for a variety of often very complex reasons have no regular accommodation. We hope our gig for Crisis will raise awareness of their plight and are very happy to help the cause."
