Back in June the David Gilmour Guitar Collection Auction at Christie’s in New York raised a staggering $21.5 million for environmental law charity Client Earth.
While only a small number of people were able to attend in person, we were lucky enough to have a man on the inside in Brian Gibbons. Not only was Brian lucky enough to attend and successfully bid on the 1957 Electric Mandolin, he also filmed the auctioning of the famous Black Strat! Enjoy.
Roger Waters has announced via Twitter that he will be performing Wish You Were Here in front of the UK Home Office. The performance will take place on Monday the 2nd of September at 6pm London time.
Waters has previously shown his support for Assange in various interviews and tweets.
