Steve Winwood, Pete Townshend, Paul Weller and Bill Wyman are among those taking part in an
all-star celebration of the late Jim Capaldi, a former member
of Traffic.
The show will take place January 21, close to the second
anniversary of his death, at London's Roundhouse. Tickets go on
sale December 18.
The Dear Mr. Fantasy concert, named for one of Traffic's
best-known albums, will celebrate the life and work of Capaldi,
who died of cancer January 28, 2005, at the age of 60. The
event will raise funds for the Jubilee Action Street Children
Appeal, a charity in which Capaldi and his wife Anina were
active.
Also confirmed to appear are Joe Walsh, former Deep Purple
keyboardist Jon Lord, Gary Moore, Simon Kirke, Dennis
Locorriere, the Storys, Andy Newmark, Ray Cooper and
keyboardist Paul "Wix" Wickens.
