We're celebrating the life of Chazz Haddon, frontman of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, who sadly passed away on 20th August 2010.

Charlie’s greatest passion was for music, as a fan, a songwriter or performer. Primarily though it is his qualities as a human, not only his talents as a musician, that meant that those with whom he worked and met during his bright career were touched by his affable nature, boundless enthusiasm and thirst for fun. Similarly, it is testament to his humility and efforts not to take himself too seriously that Charlie was regarded by all those who knew and loved him as a warm conversationalist, possessing genuine charm and a man with whom countless happy memories, musical or otherwise were shared.

We would like to thank all of those who have given their support, time, talent and expertise to this celebration of the life of a truly fantastic man and a promising young musician.

The line up consists of some of the many friends we made along the way who will each cover a track from our forthcoming album, The Golden Year, followed by a couple of their own. It's already looking more like a festival line up with The Kooks, Man Like Me, Nat Jenkins, Mpho, Tribes, Daisy Dares You, Ollie Wride and Mr. Hudson to mention but a few.

The evening will be hosted by Eddy Temple Morris from XFM who will be joined on the decks by Radio 1's Kissy Sell Out and NME's Mikey Four.

Tickets are £10 and can be purchased from Gigantic.com, Crowdsurge.com and Ticketweb.com. (14+)

All proceeds will go to Mind, the UKs leading mental health charity, and we hope to allocate the money towards developing a new micro site and promotional material with artist Jimi Crayon that specifically targets younger people.

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool's debut album 'The Golden Year' will be released worldwide on 3rd October.
