Signed Kaiser Chiefs and The Thrills goodies go to auction

Big names and big auctions seem to be filling the Blog this week! Some of the biggest names in popular music have contributed to a collection of memorabilia, which Oxfam will be selling on eBay from 13 April.

The Thrills signed album (above) will be on offer, as will signed red and green Kaiser Chief ties. Sir Paul McCartney, Radiohead and Ronan Keating are also among the stars who have donated signed items to the auction.

The bidding will start at 1p for each item and it is hoped that the auction will raise thousands of pounds for Oxfam's work with some of the world's poorest people.

Most of the items to be auctioned have been donated to Oxfam Music and Audio in Ealing, West London. The music shop is one of six Oxfam shops across the UK dedicated entirely to music, and as well as a offering a great range of CDs, vinyl and audio equipment, the shop regularly sells rare and collectable donations on eBay.

Tony Lee, Manager of the Ealing Music Shop said: "We are delighted that so many artists are supporting Oxfam. Based on the success of this auction, we intend to make this an annual event."

Timed to coincide with Oxfam's third annual Music Month, which takes place throughout April in approximately 200 Oxfam shops across the country, the auction of memorabilia will run for 10 days from 13 April to 22 April.
