Florence and the Machine auctions gig for charity

Ethereal songstress Florence Welch has announced details of a special auction that will see her perform an acoustic set to a very small group of people later this year.

The 'What The Water Gave Me' star will raise money for type 1 diabetes medical organisation Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation by offering her fans the chance to bid on a gig for just 25 people. A statement on JDRF's website explains:

"Florence will give an exquisite acoustic twenty minute performance accompanied by acoustic harp and guitar, your opportunity to hear one of the musicians that encapsulates the zeitgeist of early 21st century music up close and very personal."

"This promises to be one of those experiences you will never forget and will scarcely be able to believe it happened."

The auction has already started and was at £6,500 earlier today (June 8), but it is set to close on June 10.
