Title: A Charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall for Tusk Trust?
Post by: Jules on April 26, 2012, 05:42:56 PM
This comes from the article from the "William and Kate" Thread

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/04/25/kate-middleton-prince-william-african-cats-premiere-london-bfi_n_1453324.html (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012/04/25/kate-middleton-prince-william-african-cats-premiere-london-bfi_n_1453324.html)

Mark Knopfler, who has sold millions of albums with his group Dire Straits, met the royal couple briefly inside BFI Southbank along with other guests and the makers of the wildlife documentary.

The musician and composer said afterwards he would be staging a fundraising event for William's wildlife charity.

He said: "I'm a supporter of Tusk and everything it's doing, I'll be doing a special show at the Royal Albert Hall for Tusk.

"I've just come back from a horse riding safari and it was inspiring."

I wonder if this is gonna be a one day concert or will be part of his 2013 tour (in the last two tours his shows at the RAH are always supporting a charity).

I definitely have an urgent need to give the Tusk Trust some money.
I can't wait for next year.
