Gulf War Trafalgar Square Vigil 15 January 1991

Strange, but there seems to be no mention in the media of what happened 30 years ago – the start of the Gulf War, Operation Desert Storm. On 15 January 1991, I was with David Buckley (from our East Meets West days) in Trafalgar Square, each of us armed with a guitar. All night we sang to the crowds “Give Peace A Chance” and other anti-war songs. I have a short clip of us singing with the crowd. I’m in the top right hand corner with a white collar right at the start of the video, just for a few seconds. It was a great night, we did our level best but the war happened anyway – with tragic consequences. I think my voice gave out for two days but it was worth it!
