The Kooks To Play Benefit Gig In London Tomorrow

August 20, 2009
The Kooks To Play Benefit Gig In London TomorrowThe Kooks are to play a very special benefit gig for Strummerville in London tomorrow night (August 21).

The intimate, 500 capacity show will take place under the West Way near Ladbroke Grove in West London.

It takes place on what would have been Joe Strummer's 57th birthday, with all proceeds going to Strummerville, the new music foundation set up in The Clash's legend's name.

Support on the night will come from Beans On Toast, Smokey Angle Shades and Nat Jenkins plus some special guests.

Tickets cost £15 and are only available on the door, so fans are advised to get there early.
