Get Tested! Get Covered With Boy George and more ...

The Hepatitis C Trust’s GET TESTED! campaign is collaborating with Cover To Cover to rasie awareness of Hepititis C. On Thursday 26th November a one off celebrity extravaganza will take West London’s The Paradise by storm and will see some of the biggest names in fashion and music performing live onstage.

Together they have pooled their resources and come up with a fantastic line up of artists who will bring you their favourite covers. Upstairs, the likes of Boy George, David Mcalmont, Dot Allison and Sadie Frost will perform covers of their favourite songs backed by a live band. Downstairs the Cover To Cover residents Sean Rowley and Christian Laing, Ed Simons (The Chemical Brothers), Justin Robertson, Alan McGee and Dan Williams (Jezebel Sound System) will be playing their favourite cover records.

Cover to Cover is the brainchild of two well-known music obsessives, Sean Rowley (Guilty Pleasures) and Christian Laing (Buttoned Down Disco) which takes place at the Queen of Hoxton each month.

The GET TESTED! campaign encourages people to get tested for hepatitis C if they think they have been at risk. In 2010 GET TESTED! will be raising money to employ a blood borne virus nurse and a bus to tour the country testing people in hard to reach areas.

GET TESTED! 2009 was such a success we are doing it all over again and looking for people to sign up for the whacky races challenge from the UK to Ibiza ending with a big party in collaboration with Pete Tong’s International Music Summit.

Expect the unexpected with an unusually eclectic line up who will be sure to bring a madly diverse night of music...

Full line-up includes:

Boy George
Ed Simons (Chemical Brothers)
Sadie Frost
David Mcalmont
Dot Allison
Eliza Doolittle
Cover To Cover residents Sean Rowley and Christian Laing
Dan Williams (Jezebel Sound System)
Lisa Moorish
Alan McGee
Alice Temple
Ashely Walters aka Asher D
Justin Roberston

Plus some VERY special names still to confirm...

Announcements will be made on the night of which exciting people have signed up for next year’s mission.

BOY GEORGE SET FOR BIG BROTHER

POPSTAR Boy George is about to be banged up again - in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

But this time it is in the Big Brother house, we can exclusively reveal.The gender-bending pop star is already used to being confined in a small space. He was jailed earlier this year for imprisoning a rent boy in his flat. Now he has been released, Boy George wants to sign up for the last series of Celebrity Big Brother. The former Culture Club singer, 48, has turned down offers to appear on the show in the past. But now he has decided to give it a go and it is rumoured he has bagged a £200,000 fee for agreeing to sign. George said recently he is the happiest he has ever been and his stint in jail made him change for the better. He said: “I had prison coming to me. It wasn’t that big a surprise, I kind of knew it was going to happen.

“I just thought: ‘I’m going to make this work for me.’ I got a job quite quickly and worked in the kitchen.”

Our mole said: “Boy George will be explosive – get ready for Celebrity Big Brother to finish with a bang.”
