Just a reminder about David Gilmore of Pink Floyd........and ........ClientEarth...............

David Gilmour donates proceeds from guitar auction to ClientEarth

Musical legend David Gilmour has donated the money raised from the sale of his collection of classic guitars to ClientEarth, to support our efforts to fight the climate crisis. The auction of the Pink Floyd guitarist’s collection took place on 20th June at Christie’s in New York and included more than 120 guitars.

Commenting on the announcement, David Gilmour said: “The global climate crisis is the greatest challenge that humanity will ever face, and we are within a few years of the effects of global warming being irreversible. I hope that the sale of these guitars will help ClientEarth in their cause to use the law to bring about real change.”

“We need a civilised world that goes on for all our grandchildren and beyond in which these guitars can be played and songs can be sung.”
