Cure, Bloc Party, Who, Rhys, Weller on Charity DVD

Cure, Bloc Party, Who, Rhys, Weller on Charity DVD Once a year since 2000, Roger Daltrey of the Who gathers a generous portion of (mostly) British musicians and lets 'em loose on the big stage of London's Royal Albert Hall for a week or so. It's all in the name of the Teenage Cancer Trust, an organization that seeks to help provide special services for young folks afflicted with cancer.

Royal Albert Hall's a big place, sure, but no stadium on earth could contain every right-minded Who fan. So, come April 14, DVD Music Media Ltd. will issue TCT at the Royal Albert Hall, a DVD highlight reel of the 2006-2007 events. The UK-only video disc sports turns from the Cure, Bloc Party, the Who, Gruff Rhys, Kaiser Chiefs, Noel Gallagher of Oasis with and without Paul Weller of the Jam, the Coral, the View, Judas Priest, and others. Naturally, the money from this thing will be poured back into the Teenage Cancer Trust, so do yourself-- and, more importantly, the kids-- a favor.

How's this for good timing? The next round of Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall kicks off April 8 with Madness. The full schedule is after the jump.
