Boy George, David McAlmont, Sadie Frost and the Chemical Brothers are to play West London's The Paradise in a night which aims to raise awareness of Hepatitis C.
The Hepatitis C Trust’s
Get Tested! campaign is collaborating with
Cover To Cover to raise awareness of the disease with a one-off celebrity extravaganza which will see some of the biggest names in fashion and music performing live onstage.
Upstairs, the likes of Boy George, David Mcalmont, Dot Allison and Sadie Frost will perform covers of their favourite songs backed by a live band. Downstairs the Cover To Cover residents Sean Rowley and Christian Laing, Ed Simons (The Chemical Brothers), Justin Robertson, Alan McGee and Dan Williams (Jezebel Sound System) will be playing their favourite cover records.
The
Get Tested! campaign encourages people to get tested for hepatitis C if they think they have been at risk. In 2010 the organisation will be raising money to employ a blood borne virus nurse and a bus to tour the country testing people in hard to reach areas.
The benefit takes place on Thursday November 26 from 7pm – 2am at
The Paradise, Kilburn Lane, London W1.
