Further to our news stories concerning this evening's charity gala, Tsunami Aid: A Concert Of Hope, which includes a specially recorded performance by Roger Waters, we have some more information on the show for you.

Of principal interest is the news that many of the performances will be able to be purchased via the internet as downloads. This will be from the Sony Connect site (which also has a European counterpart) and it is believed that Roger's performance will be one of those made available. The downloads should be on their site soon after the show, but we don't have an exact time frame for you.

More performers have been added to the line-up, which will be shown without commercial breaks interrupting the vital fund-raising attempts. A similar TV benefit carried by all four primary US TV networks after the 11th September terror attacks raised more than $150m (£80m). Amongst the new names in the show are Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro, Natalie Portman, Andy Garcia, Lucy Liu, Sir Elton John and Hugh Grant.
