GREEN PARTY!
STAR-STUDDED LINE-UP TO CELEBRATE THE MUSIC OF PETER GREEN
There are a handful of guitarists who appeal to players of all genres - Hendrix, Clapton, Page... One such name that doubtlessly deserves to be counted in that category is Peter Green – his influence cited by everyone from Aerosmith to Radiohead and Noel Gallagher, not to mention that his compositions have been covered by the likes of Santana, The Black Crowes and even Judas Priest.
It’s fitting, then, that the former Bluesbreaker/fleetwood Mac member is set to be honored by a cast of rock royalty - orchestrated by Mick Fleetwood himself - for a one-off show on February 25th 2020. The gig is set to take place at the London Palladium, billed as ‘Mick Fleetwood and Friends’. What’s more, a donation will be made from every ticket sale to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
As expected, Mick has a pretty stellar list of mates to help blaze through the set, including David Gilmour, John Mayall, Billy Gibbons, Bill Wyman, Steven Tyler, Christine Mcvie and more! Fleetwood says: “The concert is a celebration of those early blues days where we all began, and it’s important to recognise the profound impact Peter and the early Fleetwood Mac had on the world of music. Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent. I am honoured to be sharing the stage with some of the many artists Peter has inspired over the years and who share my great respect for this remarkable musician.”
We expect this one to be a sell‑out, with tickets already on sale by the time you read this. Here’s hoping for a live DVD!
