Billed as "an Evening of Rock 'n'
Roll", London's sumptious Porchester Halls plays host to the Sunflower
Jam on September 14th - an event that could have a reasonable amount of
Floyd-related involvement.

Sunflower Jam, being held at
Porchester Halls, London |
The event is an intimate and
informal evening of dinner and musical entertainment, in aid of the
Complementary Therapy Team working within cancer services at University
College London Hospital (UCLH) working with children, young people and
adults with cancer. It costs £5000 per year for one therapist to work
for one day a week on the wards with the patients, their families and
the staff.
Following the champagne
reception, the dinner (courtesy of renouned chef Paul Clerehugh of the
Crooked Billet), and an auction and raffle, is a one-off concert.
This will include performances
from the likes of Robert Plant, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Paul Weller, Phil
Manzanera, Linda Lewis, and Sam Brown supported by a Celebrity House
Band including renowned musicians Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens, Margo Buchanan,
Nick Fyffe and Bernie Marsden. Many of these have played with David
Gilmour at various times in the past, and of course, the great Phil
Manzanera is part of David's current touring band. As house bands go,
quite a line-up, I'm sure you agree!
Interestingly, amongst the
musicians who have been invited to perform, but (we stress) have not
confirmed their attendance, are David himself and fellow bandmate Guy
Pratt.
Due to the nature of the event,
tickets are priced at £250 per ticket, or tables can be bought from
£2500. The ticket price includes the food, drink and entertainment.
