The Enemy yesterday swapped their guitars for garden tools, because guitars, it turns out, aren't very helpful when it comes to planting trees. The band were planting trees at the launch of a thing called vinvolved, which is trying to encourage young people to get involved in various voluntary projects which help their local communities or such like.
Commenting on the programme, The Enemy man Tom Clarke told reporters: "Doing the job swap opened our eyes to the difference volunteers can make. We helped bring green trees to grey spaces. It felt good to make a difference to the people living there. Volunteering at festivals is great but there are so many other projects people should know about".
The Enemy will also headline a special gig at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in London at the end of the month as part of the vinvolved campaign - tickets for which will be given away to people involved in vinvolved volunteer schemes.
