Day Three at British Summer Time Hyde Park was very emotional. The weather was super hot and the music even hotter. Blame the heat but the great mature audience was emotional and I was not the only one crying at Eric Clapton’s Tears in Heaven dedicated to his son who passed away in a tragic accident when he was only 4. Clapton delivered a timeless performance with his inimitable weeping guitar sound and brought a perfect close to a sold-out first week at Hyde Park.

Last night Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters kicked off the sixth edition of British Summer Time Hyde Park festival with a stunning sound and vision experience and an emotional version of Another Brick In The Wall with the Choir from Grenfell community. He brought his revered ‘Us + Them’ tour to a sold-out Hyde Park and the moment he entered the stage you understood why. This was the closest thing to experiencing a Pink Floyd concert since the band split up in 2005 after many ups and downs as well as the deaths of some of the key members. Waters has always been the band’s primary lyricist and conceptual leader, and devised the concept behind the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983). The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall became two of the best-selling albums of all time.

I am chuffed to have had the chance to chat to the iconic English rock band The Zombies who Still Got That Hunger. Music from the 60s still has so much appeal. I have always tried to understand why and the best explanation came from one of the protagonists of the 60s music scene, Colin Blunstone, who came to prominence in the mid 60s as lead singer of The Zombies. You might not be familiar with the name (associated with a band) but their music is iconic as has been played over and over in TV commercials and movies. Most recently their song Time of the Season was included in the soundtrack of the film All the money in the world.
