A Concert For The Cutty Sark
Click to enlargeRecently, whenever there is a high profile “worthy cause” that wants or needs money, the first thing they think of and want to do is to hold a concert. This is making use of the inclinations of music stars willingness, desire, and need to be seen as helping out charitable organisations and events.
Finally, for once, there is a concert for a cause that is actually worthwhile, and should serve to do more than just make music stars look good in the media. A concert is to be held to raise money to help rebuild the Cutty Sark, after the fire that caused a lot of damage [right], but luckily none that is not repairable, especially considering that so much of the tea clipper had been removed during the restoration. No names of artists who would appear have been released, but there is said to be some “major support” on it.
Fund-raising since the fire has very nearly reached the £500,000 mark, and is expected to breach that point by the end of today. Hopefully the concert proposed to be held in London over the summer will raise enough money to fully restore the Cutty Sark to her former glory, even if six to nine months later than expected prior to the blaze.
