Gilmour Turns To Charities


Pink Floyd vocalist and legendary guitar player David Gilmour is going to participate at the ‘secret show’, which is being set up by the charity organization called Crisis. Their main focus is to help homeless people, said New Musical Express. Gilmour is about to share the stage with a duet from Mali, Amadou and Mariam. “It was a wonderful surprise when they called recently, inviting me to collaborate with them on this special one-off occasion for Crisis. I’m looking forward to breaking down a few musical boundaries in the cause of helping the homeless,” noted Gilmour. This concert will take place in London on May 25 and it’s called ‘secret’ because the exact time and location shall be announced only twenty four hours before the event. In other words those who have purchased tickets are going to get an email message. All the money will go to the mentioned above charity foundation. It’s interesting to underline the fact that this performance is a part of one big series of such ‘secret’ events which began on May 5 in London. The whole program includes numerous cool bands like The Bluetones, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Pipettes and Dodgy. For example another group called Hot Chip had performed on May 5 by showing their new material.
