Julian Lennon, whose solo album 'Everything Changes' was released in October of this year, and features the single 'Lookin' 4 Luv', is set to perform at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala next week, alongside Boy George, Pete Townshend and The Feeling. The gala, one of the biggest fundraisers in The Prince’s Trust calendar, is key to raising vital funds for the charity’s work with disadvantaged young people.
A list of Prince’s Trust supporters are set to collaborate at the gala including singer-songwriters Chris de Burgh, Cerys Matthews and Joss Stone, rock legends Kenney Jones, Mark King and Midge Ure, urban saxophonist YolanDa Brown and classical music star Charlie Siem. The fundraiser will be hosted by presenters Edith Bowman and Patrick Kielty with a special appearance from comedian and musician Tim Minchin.
The evening will mark the tenth Rock Gala in The Trust’s history. Launching in 1982 and continuing until 1990, the galas attracted the support of iconic well wishers such as Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Elton John and Tina Turner. 2010 saw the historic fundraiser launch again for the first time in 20 years, with appearances from music legends Eric Clapton, Brian May and Phil Collins. Last years's event raised £600,000, taking the total sum raised by the nine galas to £3.5m.
The Prince's Trust Rock Gala takes place on November 23rd 2011 at London's Royal Albert Hall. For further details please visit www.princes-trust.org.uk.
