Paul McCartney, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Phil
Collins sing Hey Jude - music for Montserrat. Music For Montserrat was a
benefit concert held on 15 September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall. The
event was organised by Sir George Martin, former producer for The
Beatles and founder of Associated Independent Recording, to raise funds
for the Caribbean island of Montserrat after a major volcanic eruption
by the Soufrière Hills volcano earlier that year.
The concert was arranged and produced by Martin, and starred many iconic
British and American rock musicians such as Phil Collins, Ray Cooper,
Carl Perkins, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Elton John, Eric
Clapton, Paul McCartney, Midge Ure, Arrow and many more, all of whom had
once recorded or produced on the island. A DVD was released with the
most famous songs from the concert, such as Your Song, Layla, Brothers
In Arms, Blue Suede Shoes, Money For Nothing, Yesterday, Hey Jude, and
Message In A Bottle.
Proceeds from ticket sales and DVD copies went towards restoration and
support of the island. The concert raised £1.5 million.[2] Proceeds from
the show and DVD were used for immediate relief and also helped fund
the building of a new cultural centre in Montserrat. On its completion
in 2006, George Martin gifted the centre to the local community, which
is still in operation today.
