A lot of interest is growing over a forthcoming album playing tribute to Pink Floyd's The Wall. As the creation of the album is still in its early stages, we don't have all of the detail, but we are pleased to share with you what we have been told.

Billy Sherwood is producing the tribute to Roger Waters' 1979 masterpiece, for Cleopatra Records. In January, Alan White recorded drum parts for three pieces: "Hey You", "In the Flesh", and "Mother". Geoff Downes will be playing on a few tracks, including "Hey You" and "Mother" - tracks which John Wetton has contributed vocals and bass to. Wetton donated his performance fee to the UK's National Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC). Others involved include Vinnie Colaiuta (ex-Frank Zappa, ex-Allan Holdsworth), Glenn Hughes (ex-Deep Purple, ex-Geoff Downes) and Aynsley Dunbar (ex-Frank Zappa, ex-Jeff Beck Group, ex-Journey).

As we get more information on this project, we will let you know. Our thanks to Daniel for the detail on this project.
