Clear Channel Outdoor promotes Crisis record and event
Howard Lake | 29 February 2008 | News
Outdoor advertising company Clear Channel Outdoor UK is helping homelessness charity Crisis to raise awareness of its experimental collaborative record and a fundraising concert on 2 March at the Roundhouse, Camden.
Consequences Live, inspired by the parlour game ‘consequences’, features over a dozen artists, including Paul Weller, Supergrass, Graham Coxon, Carl Barat, Beth Ditto and The Enemy. Each musician contributed to a track without hearing what had gone before or knowing what might come next. Crisis’ own homeless members also contributed to the track which is due to be released after the event in March 2008. These musicians, along with many more, will be performing at an all-day benefit event celebrating the best of indie rock on 2 March.

Clear Channel Outdoor, through its Corporate Responsibility programme, has donated six-sheet sites across the Capital to promote the gig and support Crisis.
Rob Atkinson, Group Sales Director of Clear Channel Outdoor, said: "We are proud to sponsor this event and have worked with [integrated marketing agency] Unity and Crisis to pin-point key outdoor advertising sites across London to drive ticket sales, raise awareness of the gig and the wider consequences of homelessness."
