Radiohead, Elbow and a number of other artists donated items for the charity auction held by Music Beats Mines. This organization aims to raise money for people who suffered during wars all over the world. It also works to clear landmines, weapons and other remains of these conflicts.

At the same time, there are several unusual offers – for example, an hour on the grand piano at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
