‹ Dr. Pat’s RecipeBox: Breaded Chicken, Italian Style • Pierce Brosnan Goes Ape for Charity ›
This weekend, some concert goers got a rockin’ surprise — The Killers took to the stage, unnanounced, on the first night of Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions in London to play Human, Smile Like You Mean It, and a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
A number of other well-known British rockers are scheduled to play the Little Noise Sessions, including Kasabian, Stereophonics, Keane, and Razorlight. But even they expected other, bigger names to join in the eleven-day event. Last year, U2’s Bono and The Edge played four acoustic songs, also unannounced.
Mencap is “the voice of learning disability,” working to support and value those who have a learning disability as well as their families and carers. They help those with learning disabilities with education, training and employment, independant living, housing, and just about any other type of support they could ever need.
If you’re in the London area and want to see who else shows up over the next week and a half, you can get your Mencap music tickets right here.
