WAR CHILD

We decided to start with an AMAZING charity called 'WAR CHILD', of whom Keane are patrons!

War Child is an organization that works with children affected by war in countries like Iraq, Uganda or Afghanistan. They work with children who have been hit hardest by the joint forces of poverty, conflicts and social exclusion. Their groundbreaking work with child soldiers, street children and children in prison has supported and helped thousands and thousands who would otherwise not have been able to reintegrate themselves in their community, gain access to education or be able to sustain themselves.

The children that War Child works with participate directly in their decision making and project design. In that way their projects reflect their needs.
War Child also works with other aid organisations, local and national governments, to ensure the knowledge and skills gained through their work are shared with as many people as possible. In that way, they're able to help many and many more children than they hope to reach directly.

Keane made some concerts to raise some money for WAR CHILD and they earned something like £115,000. A totally impressive number!

ROB'S UNION CHAPEL PHOTOS

Hello

As it's the last one of these I'll do for a while here's far too many pictures from the rather lovely day at the Union Chapel ..


Top Tour Manager Colin gets in the churchy mood.


Soundman Mike (on loan from James Blunt as Iain is on tour) is faced with an extremely low sound limit - it still sounds marvellous though so Hurrah! for him.


Mr Hughes is making a list and checking it twice. Probably a set list though and not a note for Santa.


Mr Chaplin thrapes the Gibson.


Mr Rice Oxley gets to grips with his upright Piano.


An impromptu band meeting.


Once again playing the bass guitar (and making the tea) the talented and warmly wrapped Mr Jesse Quin.


Some churchy windows and Mr Chaplin.


A rather small treasure chest and Mr Hughes.


The string section (can a quartet be a section?)


Richard examining his new bongos.


A Piano, Tim, some computers and a speaker.


Post-soundcheck meeting.


Celebrity guitar tech for the day the dapper, charming and tuneful Mr Alastair Artingstall.


Tom sitting in the pews reading the lyrics to Early Winter.


An Audience of one.


Pulpit's (fish) eye view.


Keane bust out Atlantic.

What a top day out.
