You might remember that Camden pub and occasional celeb hangout The Hawley Arms was gutted by fire earlier this year? Well, last night Noel Fielding hosted a fundraiser for the beloved venue and some other celebs showed up to show their support. Amy Winehouse also spent a little time at Dingwalls, where the event was held, wearing a string vest and showing off the bra collection she seems oh-so-proud of. Music was provided by Johnny Borrell, Helsinki and a DJ, along with Lois Winstone's band This Year's Model. Noel waxed lyrical with memories of the pub, saying:
"We used to have a garden up the top and I used to run across the ledge in my Chelsea boots. The Ledge of Doom, I called it. They fenced it off because they said: 'You will die and that won't be good publicity.' ... I've had loads of good times there... I had a gun with sticker darts and we were trying to shoot guavas and mangoes off people's heads. It started off as a bit of fun. Before we knew what was happening, there were 40 people involved, there was a league system going, it was amazing."
Ah, Noel – if only the reality was as fun as what goes on inside your entertaining mind!
