2^nd December Guitar Hero World Tour

Last month War Child was honoured to be asked to get involved with the launch event for the Guitar Hero World Tour hosted at the Hoxton Bar and Girl in sunny east London.

The event was packed with die hard rock fans trying out the game and clambering for the opportunity to get on stage and prove their worth strumming strings and ripping riffs, Led Zeppelin eat your heart out!

Some lasted longer than others but everyone gave it their best shot and metalcore band Bullet for My Valentine rounded the night off with a rousing set that featured ‘Scream, Aim, Fire’ a track that will be included on the game.

War Child would like to thank everyone who donated on the night and also to the folks at Guitar Hero, not only for matching what was donated but also for hooking up with us in the first instance and we look forward to lots more War Child/Guitar Hero collaborations in the future…watch this space!
