Feeder support Oxfam on forthcoming tour
 Guitar legends and all-round great blokes Feeder are getting right behind Oxfam and Make Trade Fair on their forthcoming UK tour.
They're giving us their full support and helping us to put pressure on MPs in the run up to the WTO talks in December. A statement from the band said: "In December world leaders are to once again meet at the World Trade Organisation summit in Hong Kong to set the rules for trade for the years to come. Their decisions have the potential to lift millions of people out of poverty, but the opportunity is being lost. Grant, Mark and Taka are behind it. You could be too."
 And that's not all: fresh from their own tour special guests Goldie Lookin Chain will provide the support. If you're going along, look out for us. We'll be busy spreading the word about Oxfam and collecting signatures for the Big Noise Petition.
Our very own cuddly intern Adam Askew is co-ordinating our presence on the tour, and will be collecting quotes and exclusive pics for Generation Why.

Good luck Adam - hope you have a great time, and get loads of sign-ups. I predict you'll nail it! Feeder are awesome, and it's really cool that they're supporting the Make Trade Fair campaign. Hopefully it will encourage other bands to get involved. Take it easy cuddly Adam,
best wishes Chris

Great to see Feeder are supporting Oxfam in this way - Grant's had his whiteband on all year & is fantastic to hear Tender being used on the TV campaign. Going to two gigs on the forthcoming tour so I'll look out for you guys. Feeder fans are lovely so am sure you'll get plenty of support.
