Drinkaware, the charity that promotes responsible drinking, is sponsoring a music
fundraising initiative in aid of homeless charity CRISIS. Record sales and ticket
sales to a music event next year will generate income.
Beth Ditto, The Enemy, Paul
Weller, New Young Pony Club, Graham Coxon, Supergrass, Drew McConnell (Babyshambles),
Ed Harcourt, Pearl Lowe and Andy Rourke (The Smiths) have formed a new ‘supergroup’
called ‘Crisis’ to help fight homelessness. Yesterday the band wrote and recorded
a one-off track called “Consequences”, based on the well-known children’s game.

Jean Collingwood, Chief Executive of [The Drinkaware Trust](http://www.drinkaware.co.uk),
explained their involvement. “The Drinkaware Trust’s remit is to positively change
the national drinking culture in order to reduce alcohol misuse and minimise alcohol
related harm”, she said. “We are delighted to sponsor the Crisis Consequences project
which will use live and recorded music and online media to create nationwide engagement.”

 

 

The initiative will raise money through record sales and tickets to Consequences
Live, an one-day music festival at The Roundhouse, Camden on 2 March 2008.
