In November 2006, Feeder very kindly offered to play 3 major gigs in aid of War Child. The result was 2 nights in the north of the capital at Camden’s Round House followed by a final night south of the river in Elephant & Castle’s Coronet.


With support from The Young Knives, Boy Kill Boy & Larrikin Love, the shows also attracted guests appearance from the Sugababes and Jamelia as well as a host of famous Feeder fans including Chris Moyles and Holly Willoughby.

A spokesperson from War Child commented at the time: “When Feeder began talking about doing a gig to raise funds and awareness for War Child, we never expected it to become such a fantastic event. One show quickly became two, and now there is a third. That is amazing. What’s more, the band has got their address book out and called in the services of some very special guests in the form of The Young Knives, Boy Kill Boy and Larrikin Love: three young bands that truly represent the rude health the British music scene currently finds itself enjoying. Feeder have met the children we work with first hand: so they know what these unforgettable shows will mean to those kids thousands of miles away.”

The band were prompted to organise the shows after making a trip earlier in the year to the Democratic Republic of Congo with War Child.

Vocalist Grant Nicholas explained “Our trip with War Child to the Congo had a truly profound effect on Mark, Taka and myself. As fathers we fully appreciate the scale of the job that War Child have undertaken and we are very pleased that once again we can join with them to hopefully make a considerable amount of money for those that we met in DRC. We are also very excited to be playing at 2 legendary London venues and having the opportunity to bring along some of our friends to help raise funds and really make a difference.”

 

The gig secured masses of press and radio coverage for the charity as well as an amazing 64k which will go towards helping fund the charity’s projects in Iraq, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
