Oh just seen this, good finding!!!

So what's this exactly?? Lots of different acts, so Damien will probably do one song

Delicate of course

^ I would be very chuffed with that since I love love love this song!

borneoman · 09-17-2009, 07:21 PM

don't get me wrong, me too, but when doing tv shows or short appearances he has a tendency to play mosty songs from O as opposed to songs from 9 or newer material... even during the 9 tour he was doing more songs from O than from 9...

Aha!!!! *newbie comprehends*

I thought there was something more to your post, Marti.

But yeah, I also took the opportunity to gush about the song.

Why does he have the tendency to do that, do you think?

borneoman · 09-17-2009, 07:30 PM

I guess many artists feel a sort of obligation to play the best-known songs maybe...

orangejasmine · 09-17-2009, 07:33 PM

^ Yeah yeah, that for sure. But I'd think that he'd at least give some of the better known tracks off 9 a go.

Then again, who knows how that trend will change as he releases more albums in the near future.

"Concert for CARE International
17 September 2009
Performing onstage, among others:
David Arnold, Gary Barlow, Rob Brydon, Jimmy Carr, Dara O’Briain, Damien Rice, David Walliams, more to be announced.....

Music and Comedy giants join together in a one off event for aid agency CARE International. This one-off live event at London’s Brixton Academy on November 2nd 2009 will see musical performances from Damien Rice, Gary Barlow, and more, combined with stand up sets from some of Britain’s finest comedians.
‘Concert for CARE’ is the brainchild of David Arnold, one of Britain’s most successful film and television composers and ambassador for CARE International (CARE). CARE works in 70 countries and helps 55 million people to find ways out of poverty each year.

Announcing the line up David Arnold said: “I have wanted to do this concert from the day I met a 20 year old woman in Rwanda who was orphaned at 14, is HIV positive and has to look after her two younger brothers. Without CARE’s support she would be unable to keep them in school, feed them or keep a roof over their heads. I have asked my colleagues from the music and comedy world to get together to help raise money and awareness of the amazing work CARE does all over the world.”

Geoffrey Dennis, CARE International UK chief executive, said: “We are really proud to have David Arnold as a CARE Ambassador. The money raised from the concert will mean that we can continue to help some of the world’s poorest people.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday September 18 at 9am, tickets are priced £30 and can be purchased from the following places:
