Eric Clapton Headlines Charity Concert At Wintershall With Band du Lac

5 Jun 11

[More Photos Added!] On 4 June 2011, Eric Clapton took part in a charity concert at Wintershall Estate, Bramley, Surrey which raised funds for HASTE (Heart and Stroke Trust Endeavour). Gates to the estate opened at 4PM so those who purchased tickets for the black-tie event were able to enjoy picnics by the lakeside. Since 1989, Eric has donated his time to appear at several charity events at Wintershall, performing with Gary Brooker’s all-star "Band du Lac". On Saturday night, EC once again sat in with Gary’s band. EC’s 10-song sent included "That’s No Way To Get Along" from his most recent album, a take on Stevie Wonder’s "Uptight", "You Don’t Know Like I Know" plus classics from his solo catalog, including an outstanding "After Midnight."

Other musicians who took part in this year’s fundraiser for HASTE were The Jones Gang with special guest Ron Wood, Jeff Beck (who sat in with Queen’s Roger Taylor), sixties superstars Lulu and Georgie Fame, Paul Carrack (Roxy Music, Squeeze, Mike + The Mechanics), Clapton Band alums Andy Fairweather Low and Dave Bronze and others. The evening concluded with fireworks over the lake.
