Thursday evening (September 6th), which coincidentally was Roger Waters' 75th birthday, those present at the Lucius gig at the atmospheric Union Chapel, in Islington, London, were party to a real surprise.

During their set, Roger himself appeared to perform a couple of acoustic numbers with the band, the first song being Mother and the second, Goodnight Irene. BD contributor Rob Whitmarsh said about "this most magical night [that] I never imagined I'd be seeing Roger Waters performing a couple of songs in a church. The lighting was incredibly low (candle light and a couple of low level lights behind them), so my photos reflect this. I tried using a flash a couple of times, but it just reflected the air due to the atmosphere (probably candle smoke rather than dry ice).
