'Camden caners' sing to save pub

By Ian Youngs
Music reporter, BBC News

Noel Fielding

Singer Amy Winehouse and comedian Noel Fielding are among the stars who turned up for a concert to raise money to rebuild their favourite pub.

The show was in aid of the Hawley Arms, which was devastated by fire in Camden, north London, in February.

Fielding compered the night, with sets from Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell and Babyshambles spin-off Helsinki.

Winehouse turned up near the end of the night - but was bundled out again after 10 minutes after a row with the DJ.

Fielding, the star of surreal sitcom The Mighty Boosh, told BBC News: "It's such a good pub and it's such a cool pub and the people who run it are really nice.

"When I first went down there, we weren't that famous as the Boosh and they were all very kind to us and very nice.

"We had lots of fun, and as we got a bit more famous they never hit on me for anything and I always had a good time down there."
