7pm till Late, 08.08.08; GBP12.50.

The Forum in Kentish Town will play host to Benefit by Audio, a music
event organised by the homeless charity Camden Calling. The aim of the
charity is to help homeless people gain access to the arts. Through this
event they are aiming to raise GBP20,000 for instruments, recording
equipment, computers, cameras, books, trips to theatres and galleries and an
exhibition of homeless art.

Camden Calling is the brainchild of Alexis Brooks. She has been working
with Camden's homeless for the last 4 years. Alexis, 30, says, "I wanted to
prove that Camden's homeless should not be assumed to be useless. And I got
to thinking about what Camden is famous for, and that's live music. It made
sense to bring the two things together and the result is our first major
event, Benefit by Audio - a music festival, in Camden, organised by homeless
people."

Benefit by Audio is an event with a twist as it is not just in aid of the
homeless, it's partly run by homeless people too. The event photographer, one
of the DJs, the flyer designer and members of the promotions team are all
homeless.

The event promises a mixture of up-and-coming acts including:

-Electrifying indie-rock from The Thirst (the first signing to Ronnie
Wood's Wooden Records)

- Punk and ska with a hint of country from The Penny Black Remedy
(winners of the Indy's Best Alternative Act 2008),

- Tunes to throw shapes to from Bugz in the Attic

- Jazz from Motiv of the Another World Music Collective

- Plus London's premiere homeless DJ, T- Breakz.
