Razorlight played a new track during a surprise four song set at drummer Andy Burrows’ charity gig at the Union Chapel in London last night.
Razorlight also performed three singles from 2006’s ‘Razorlight’ after the new track, playing ‘Before I Fall To Pieces’, ‘In The Morning’ and ‘America’. During an earlier set from Burrows’ solo charity album ‘The Colour Of My Dreams’, the drummer was joined by an array of his popstar chums.
Muse’s Dom Howard on drums, Guillemots’ Fyfe Dangerfield on keyboards and Editors’ Tom Smith also joined the drummer, performing on guitar and vocals, on the track ‘The Colour Of My Dreams,’ reports the BBC. Burrows was also joined by The Bluetones’ Mark Morriss for three songs, including a run-through of the Britpop band’s 1996 hit ‘Slight Return’ to the delight of the crowd.
Poet Peter Dixon, who wrote the pieces Burrows put to music on his album, also performed two short poems at the event.
The stage in the chapel was decked out with oversize children’s alphabet blocks and a cut-out of Donald Duck, while a tin foil moon hung spotlighted above it. The show in Islington also saw celebrity chef Jamie Oliver selling hot dogs to fans. The group teamed up for Winchester children’s hospice Naomi House.
‘The Colour Of My Dreams’ is out now.
