ONE AMAZING NIGHT...

 

 

We're thrilled to announce that our now legendary Killers/Coldplay gig featuring Bono and Gary Barlow raised over £200,000 for War Child. This money will transform the lives of children living in some of the world's most dangerous places and protect them from the horrors of war.

 

You can read more about the night here and as an exclusive gift for our email subscribers we've got an iconic image from the gig that you can download and use as a screensaver or desktop background.

 

...20 AMAZING SOUVENIRS...

This week we've filled our ebay shop with some exclusive Heroes goodies - including the original artwork painted by former Stone Roses guitarist and now renowned artist John Squire.

 

The hard-hitting artwork featuring child-like crayon drawings of machine guns was created by Squire in his familiar abstract style and influenced by the drawings of children dealing with the trauma of living in war zones.

 

Squire has been involved with War Child since 1995 when The Stone Roses donated a track for the original War Child ‘Help!’ album and he provided the cover artwork. Squire has created the album cover artwork for all subsequent War Child album sleeves.

 

 

John Squire said “For me the appeal of War Child is pretty simple, they help the hungry, the displaced and the traumatised children in certain war zones to deal with that situation and they involve them in deciding how that help is organised. Anything I can do to support them is no trouble at all”

 

The original artwork and five signed prints have been donated by John Squire for the eBay auction.

 

Based in Macclesfield, John Squire’s work has been informed by his dual experiences as a musician and artist. He is renowned for his paintings and sculptural works, which have, since the late 1980’s, frequented covers of albums and singles. Since 2004, Squire has held seven acclaimed exhibitions in London and Manchester, with future exhibitions

planned for Oldham, Austria and Japan later this year. http://www.johnsquire.com
