Over the last two years Play It By Ear Club has been bringing new bands, new songs and new friends to Saturday nights at the Monarch in Camden. We’ve loved sharing the party with you and now we’re asking you to help extend the fun in a whole new way as we invite you to
MAKE SOME NOISE for the Consortium for Street Children
Kicking off with a pop quiz hosted by Rough Trade’s Paul Guided Missile, this is a night of electrifying musical acts, top raffle prizes, and the opportunity to get your mitts on celebrity hand-designed t-shirts all for £6.
The money will go directly to the CSC, which works to better the lives of children on the street or at risk of living on them.
Saturday February 27th, doors open at 7pm, the quiz starts at 7.30pm and bands follow afterwards! Buy your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment!

Play It By Ear presents MAKE SOME NOISE in aid of the Consortium for Street Children
Starring:
Estelle may be the symbol of the best UK R&B but her little sister H-Boogie aka Haidara Swaray is the best of UK pop.
Despite touring together, H-Boogie’s sound rests firmly in synth-pop style of Little Boots with a dash of Ladyhawke 80s sensibility and a smidge of thecocknbullkid’s distinctive lyrical bite.
This Notting Hill collective are known for their Victoriana outfits, cheeky ragamuffin personas, heavy bass and blend of MC rapping. If you’re lucky a certain Mick Jones of The Clash who is known to guest perform with them, may make a special appearance…
Tipped to be HUGE this year, we are so excited to have Lunar Youth support the CSC. Upbeat indie-pop guitar – part Roxy music, part Cure, these dreamy guitars are sure to soundtrack the rest of your year.
DJ Sets from Plugs
and Soundtracks!
Hand-designed t-shirts from Elle McPherson, Biffy Clyro, Coolio, The Maccabees, Mumford & Sons, Bombay Bicycle Club and many many more!!! Here’s that ticket link again.

As if you need any more convincing, here’s all you need to know about our charity, the CSC.
The Consortium for Street Children (CSC) is an international network, including organisations such as Amnesty International and Save The Children, which is dedicated to campaigning and promoting the rights of street-children all over the world.
No-one knows for sure how many street-children there are. Estimates range from 30 million to 170 million. These are youth who slip through the safety net of government policies and statistics. But they exist – living and working off the street, increasing in numbers daily from the effects of warfare, recession and natural disasters.
Often without any family contact or home life, these children become stigmatised and are faced with sexual exploitation, gang violence, drugs abuse, disease – trapping them in a cycle of poverty. Despite forming one of the most vulnerable groups in society, they continue to be one of the most under-represented and ignored.
The CSC and its members work to change this.
By informing and inspiring research and action, they influence policy and best practice among governments worldwide leading to improvements in the lives of disadvantaged children.
