Guided as to where to go and what to do by his followers on Twitter, Ross covered the UK in a fun-filled week long adventure. The combination of Ross, Triumph and the interactive yet random nature of the Twitter suggestions was enough to impress the media industry organisation Fresh. Fresh recognises and rewards creativity, effectiveness and innovation in the Creative, Digital, Media and Communication arena’s in the UK and Ireland.

The Grand Prix for the best overall entry was awarded to Prova, the specialist automotive PR consultancy, for its Triumph Motorcycles campaign featuring comedian and ‘super bike fan’ Ross Noble. Prova picked up two Gold Awards for the project to including ‘Freshest Use of Celebrity’ and ‘Freshest Digital Media or Social Networking Campaign’.

The judges praised the project: “A great example of how to use a celebrity to harness the media, this quality campaign delivered fantastic audience engagement. With something new to look at every day, this was a living, breathing campaign which echoed the brand and the story perfectly.”

Stand Up and Rock comes as Crisis at Christmas marks its 40th anniversary. Since 1972 the charity has provided vital services for homeless and vulnerably housed people. All proceeds from the gig will go towards Crisis’ life changing services at Crisis at Christmas and year-round in its Skylight centres across the country.

Joining the musicians and comedians on stage will be The Choir With No Name, an acclaimed choir made up of homeless people and others on the fringes of society, including clients of Crisis, who last performed for the charity alongside Coldplay in 2010.

Leslie Morphy, Chief Executive of Crisis, said: “We’re really excited to have such an incredible array of stars signed up for Stand Up and Rock for our 40th anniversary. Crisis at Christmas has provided vital services for homeless and vulnerably housed people for 40 years. Whilst we should celebrate the lives helped and changed, it is a scandal that homelessness still exists and that we are still needed at all.

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 4 November at www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk. Both standing and seated tickets are available ranging from £39.50 to £75.00.

Paul Weller, who played a gig for Crisis in 2008, said: “It’ll be good to get on stage for Crisis again. In hard times like these more and more people need their help so I’m happy to support Stand Up and Rock as Crisis at Christmas turns 40.”

Tim Minchin said: “Stand Up and Rock for Crisis is going to be an amazing night. Such a unique mix of acts, and a huge milestone for this brilliant charity. Can’t wait.”

Graham Coxon, who has played in support of Crisis in 2008, said: “I am honoured to be supporting Crisis again, the work they do is so important and this is going to be a great night.”

Jo Brand said: “Having volunteered for Crisis myself I know first hand the wonderful work this charity does. All the money raised by the gig will go towards Crisis’ life-changing projects at Christmas and year round so I’m proud to be a part of Stand Up and Rock.”

Ross Noble said: “Very excited to be hosting Stand Up and Rock – I’m a massive fan of all the acts and it’s an important cause, particularly at the moment. It promises to be a special night of, well, stand up and rock really.”

Crisis will be asking gig-goers to sign up to a new campaign, No one turned away, calling for the Government to strengthen the law so no one is forced to sleep rough.

This event is held in association with SJM concerts.
