Thom Yorke plays 'The Big Ask Live'
9 February 2006
Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead will be headlining an exclusive gig at KOKO in London on 1st May. The concert is being held in support of `The Big Ask,' a Friends of the Earth campaign that is calling on the UK government to take action to combat climate change.
The bank holiday show is just one of the highlights of `The Big Ask Live', a series of concerts taking place across the UK that will feature some of the biggest names and brightest new talent in British music.
Thom, who will be performing for the first time in the UK for over a year, said; "The best thing about `The Big Ask' for me is the fact that there's no longer this sense of powerlessness, which is what I had for so long about climate change."

Notes
`The Big Ask' Campaign, which was launched by Thom Yorke in 2005, is calling on thousands of people across the UK to demand the government take action to tackle climate change. Friends of the Earth is calling for the introduction of new climate change laws which would force the government to cut emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, by 3 per cent every year.
