Dom was at the Union Chapel in Islington, London last night, playing at a charity gig put on by Razorlight’s drummer Andy Burrows.
The event which was raising money for the Naomi House children’s hospice in Winchester, featured Jamie Oliver on BBQ duties and Razorlight performing a new song as part of a 4 song set.
Earlier in the evening Burrows played tracks off his solo charity album.
One song, ‘The Colour Of My Dreams’, featured Dom Howard on drums, Fyfe Dangerfield (Guillemots) on keyboards and Tom Smith (Editors) on guitar and vocals.
“I’m just here to play the drums to help out my mate Andy who’s released his solo album – a little collection of songs. It’s all in aid of charity, Naomi House, so he asked me to play drums and he’s got a whole bunch of other mates and other musicians playing so I thought I’d say ‘Yeah sure I’ll play’.”
“Andy is a great guy. He lives down the road from me and we’ve played on the electric drum pads in my house when drunk but never seriously.”
“I only found out two days ago I could do the gig. We only rehearsed for a few hours the day before.”
The drum kit used by Dom Howard and Andy Burrows will be put up for auction to raise money for the childrens hospice.
