Fran Healy busks for War Child

Fran Healy has busked in the City of London to raise awareness for War Child.

The Travis frontman performed a number of hits, including 'Why Does It Always Rain On Me', 'Sing', 'Writing To Reach You' and 'Turn', outside the headquarters of Deutsche Bank.

The financial institution has shortlisted War Child for its 2011 'Charity of the Year', a choice voted for by members of staff later this week.

Healy said: "The impact of war on children is simply unacceptable, but with our support War Child are doing something about it. I hope this has got people talking about War Child. It's a charity and cause I'd urge everyone to support."

The charity's music director Ben Knowles added: "Music has long been a crucial way of War Child raising the awareness and funds these children vitally need. Deutsche Bank's commitment to charity is a life-changing one.

"We hope this has helped more people to consider War Child, and has been another example of the exciting way we use the support of some amazing musicians. We cannot thank Fran enough."
