Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is set to make an appearance in London, when he joins Mali blues duo Amadou and Mariam on-stage for their gig as part of the ‘Hidden Gigs Series’ .
A run of shows was recently announced to take place in London throughout this month, with acts such as Hot Chip, Pendulum, Dodgy, The Bluetones and Starsailor playing in a series of hidden venues in aid of the Crisis Charity.
Ticket holders are alerted the day before each event as to the whereabouts of the venue, a move aimed at raising awareness of the troubles facing the homeless on a daily basis.
Gilmour will now be joining the duo at their London show on May 25th, adding that he was more than happy to help out and collaborate:
“It was a wonderful surprise when Amadou and Mariam 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.”
