    Kitty Daisy & Lewis, The Holloways To Play Save BBC 6 Music Event

    Kitty Daisy and Lewis and Master Shortie are amongst the acts playing a gig in support of the official Save BBC 6 Music campaign.

    The awareness raising event will take place this Wednesday (March 10th) at Proud Camden in North London.

    As well as the aforementioned acts, The Holloways, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong and Ali Love will all be DJing on the night.

    All proceeds from the one-off show will go to helping the homeless charity Shelter.

    The BBC last week announced plans to close BBC 6 Music alongside the Asian Network and parts of the corporation's website in a bid to save millions.

    So far over 150,000 people have joined a Facebook group set up by Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1 founders Jon and Tracy Morter protesting at the planned closure of the station.

    • If this is the best 6 Music can muster, maybe they should be closing. The Holloways? Joe Lean? Jeebus...

    • I suspect Mark Thompson's organising it- selecting the very landfill indie bands that everyone's sick of, so the save 6music campaign will collapse.

    • These are the bands they made more recognisable. Good or not?
