Fran Healy & more join Xfm Winter Warmer

01 December 2003

The Travis frontman and McAlmont & Butler are the final additions to the line-up of Xfm's Winter Warmer event, which takes place at the London Astoria on Sunday 14th December in aid of homeless charity Shelter...

Fran will perform acoustically without his band for the gig in aid of homelessness charity Shelter. And completing the line-up will be McAlmont & Butler who join The Cooper Temple Clause, The Music, Graham Coxon, Martina Topley-Bird and Scissor Sisters on the bill.

This will be one of Xfm's biggest live events and rounds off an incredible year for live music on the station.

The station's Programme Controller Andy Ashton told us: "This is going to be the coolest possible end to the hottest year ever for Xfm. We first started doing something for charity a couple of Christmases ago, with our album 'It's a Cool, Cool Christmas' in support of The Big Issue. This year, with so many great acts keen to actually get up on stage and show their support, we felt it was time to take things to the next level."
