Stars including Graham Coxon and Athlete turned out to play a gig in aid of homeless charity Crisis.

Tickets for the show, dubbed Pudstock, were only available if fans discovered special six pence coins hidden in Christmas puddings - or coughed up on eBay.

Also performing at the benefit gig at London's Proud Gallery were Supergrass, Dirty Pretty Things and Ed Harcourt. The event made nearly £40,000 for the charity.

Coxon said he was hesitant about committing to the cause but had enjoyed the night in the end.

"My friend rang me up to do this gig and although I dread acoustic gigs I do them quite often because I don't enjoy being scared," he explained. "A lot of people here are old friends too so its nice to catch up and see what they're doing."
