Tim and Tom busking in Hastings today
24 Dec 2012
Tom and Tim are busking for local Hastings based charity, Surviving Christmas, in Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, Hastings, today (Christmas Eve) at 13:00.
They'll only be there for a short while so come along, give your support and help them raise as much money as possible to help vulnerable people and families in the Hastings & Rother area at Christmas.
Alison Freelander, Chair of Surviving Christmas, said: "Surviving Christmas is a charity local to Hastings & Rother run by, and for, the community to give assistance to those in need and hope for those in despair. We are seeing an increasing number of referrals which means the charity needs more volunteers throughout the year, along with food, clothing and monetary donations.
We're extremely grateful to Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin from Keane for giving up their time so generously and helping to raise this very local charity's profile in this way. Also many thanks to Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, BB-Scene & Links Screens for providing the staging and advertising free of charge and to Ian Dobson for PA provision and sound checks."
Donations for Surviving Christmas are welcomed here.

I don't know why I read this now, any way you're so nice guys. I can't really say Merry Christmas but once again I wish you a Happy New Year. I wish I could have been there, but I've been spending my time at home on Christmas. Maybe not the funniest Chistmas ever, but I been glad after getting a steel stringed guitar, however I'm happy to hear what you've done, it makes me happy. Thanks for sharing and thank you for doing thus, helping and being so kind and nice. I love you, Tim and Tom.
You guys are so kind and caring, i`m sure `surviving christmas ' are very happy that you are so willing to give your time to such a good and worthwhile cause. Good luck with the USA tour, and i wish all four members of keane a very Happy 2013!! .....Sarah x

Sono veramente contenta che Tim e Tom partecipino spesso a queste iniziative di beneficenza, questo dimostra che , oltre ad essere degli artisti eccellenti, sono anche persone di gran cuore: bravi ragazzi!!! Un abbraccio dalla vostra fan Sabrina da Catania! P.S. Spero che Keanemusic poi metta un video di questa esibizione, ci terrei tanto a vederlo... Grazie in anticipo e auguri anche te caro Keanemusic!!!
You, gentlemen, are the true spirit of Christmas. This is what it is all about. You are both beacons of light in this world. Merry Christmas to you and your families. I hope Santa brings both of you and your loved ones every little thing your hearts desire. Cheers!...Sherry W., Michigan, USA @sambawoman
Ah that's a lovely thing to do at Christmas, hope you raise lots of money, would love to be there buy stuck at work in rainy Rugby... Merry Christmas Tom, Tim, Richard & Jesse. Love Jo xxx
La desigual repartición de la riqueza es un hecho presente. En España han aumentado los pobres. Y el paro es insostenible. Y los que tienen la suerte de trabajar, van a trabajar por menos dinero. La injusticia social es fragante. Hay que preguntarse donde estan las grandes fortunas? Y quizá cantar Shout to the Top, con la intensidad y la energia que lo hacían el pianista y el cantante. Es un muy buen gesto por parte de keane. Llega la Navidad y todos estamos involucrados en esta rueda. Esta crisis puede influir en la felicidad individual y en consecuencia en la felicidad colectiva. Marisa.
Yes, I wish I could be there too! Am so proud of you Guys, for being always so aware of the real world problems, so down to earth and close to people.Thank you for being so generous ! It will be a very special and most inspiring contribution, no doubt of that ♥ You know, I saw something written down yesterday, and I feel like writing it down here..." Keane should get an award for their existence" - yes, definitely...as you do make our lives so much happier...as Tom once said "I like to leave a trail of happiness wherever I go" - be sure of that, you really do that. Have a Very Happy Xmas - Lots of love always***
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** Hello Keane and Keane staff, all the best and have a great happy Christmas! Thank you for everything all this year. Lots of love! XXXX
You lucky people in Hastings! I wish I could be there to see/hear them, but I'm stuck at work until at least 16:30 (NHS employee) so will make a donation online. Hope all members of Keane, their families, their crew et al have a fab Christmas! See you in the New Year! Sandra xxxx
