He joins Thom Yorke to support The Big Ask

Razorlight's Johnny Borrell is to play an exclusive acoustic gig in London's Science Museum to raise awareness of climate change.

The singer is joining Friends of the Earth's The Big Ask campaign alongside artists like Thom Yorke and KT Tunstall to call on the government to include aviation emissions restrictions in their new climate change legislation.

Borrell will perform in The Science Museum's Aviation Room in front of a commercial jet on June 3.

Entrance to the gig is only available through entering a draw on Thebigask.com.

The audience is set to contain representatives from all the UK's industries, apart from aviation and shipping.

Isn't what he does noise pollution?It would probably be more magnanimous of him if he didn't play. We would understand.
