Paul Weller To Play Benefit Gig For Japan!

On April 3 Weller will join Beady Eye, Graham Coxon, Primal Scream, Richard Ashcroft and The Coral to play a special show at Brixton Academy in aid of the British Red Cross Japan Tsunami Appeal.

The show is being held to raise money for Japan following the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11.

Almost 8,500 people have died in the disaster with thousands injured and with nearly 13,000 people still missing the need for an immediate response is immense.

The Japanese Red Cross has been working on the ground since the disaster struck, mobilizing 85 teams - made up of 700 doctors, nurses and support staff who have provided first aid, healthcare and assistance in assessing the damage and the needs of the communities affected.

Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday (March 25) at 9am, limited to a maximum of 4 per applicant.

Tickets will be available from http://www.gigsandtours.com, http://www.ticketweb.co.uk and http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk or via the 24hr hotline on 0844 811 0051.
