Gig
Sam Duckworth, The Xcerts for London charity gig
The acts - with Katie Malco and Ric from Tall Ships - will play in aid of CALM.
Sam Duckworth and The Xcerts are among the acts to perform at a stripped-back gig in aid of mental health charity CALM.
The Campaign Against Living Miserably, or CALM, is a registered charity which exists to prevent male suicide in the UK. In 2013, male suicide accounts for 78% of all suicides and is the single biggest cause of death in men aged 20 – 45 in England and Wales.
The artists will be joined by Ric of Tall Ships and singer-songwriter Katie Malco at the event, which takes place on Battersea Barge on 5th April.
In addition, a digital compilation is to be released also in support of the charity, featuring artists such as Gnarwolves, JAWS and Youth Man.
