Stars raise cash for Hawley Arms

A charity show raised money for the Camden pub the Hawley Arms, which burnt down earlier this year, with Noel Fielding compering and Amy Winehouse ejected early.

Various celebrities, including Noel Fielding, Amy Winehouse and Johnny Borrell, performed at a show to raise money for the Hawley Arms pub in Camden last night. The pub, you surely must remember, burnt down earlier this year.

Fielding compered the night, while Borrell, Helsinki (fronted by Babyshambles' Drew McConnell), This Year's Model (fronted by Ray Winstone's daughter Lois) and Black Captain provided music. Amy Winehouse was supposed to headline but was ejected ten minutes after she arrived because she got into an argument with the DJ.

Fielding told BBC News: "It's such a good pub and it's such a cool pub and the people who run it are really nice. When I first went down there, we weren't that famous as the Boosh and they were all very kind to us and very nice. We had lots of fun, and as we got a bit more famous they never hit on me for anything and I always had a good time down there".
