Post Description

Saturday 10 July, David performed at a charity event in aid of the Hoping Foundation  (?Hoping? stands for ?Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation?)? with one Roger Waters, who some of you might know.

There?s the photographic evidence, if you don?t believe me ? from rehearsals.

The event, organised by Bella Freud and Karma Nabulsi, took place at Kiddington Hall country estate in Oxfordshire, England and raised a most welcome £350,000.

They performed four songs before 200 guests, accompanied by Guy Pratt (on bass and acoustic guitar), Harry Waters (on keyboards), Andy Newmark (on drums), Chester Kamen (on guitar) and Jonjo Grisdale (also on keyboards).

Songs were ?To Know Him Is To Love Him?, which, I?m told, regularly featured in Pink Floyd sound checks way back when, followed by Pink Floyd favourites: ?Wish You Were Here?, ?Comfortably Numb?, and the one that got everybody singing along, ?Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)?.

Well, well, well? Bet you weren?t expecting that. Hoping, indeed.
