(RED)NIGHTS Hosts Star-Studded Concert at Carnegie Hall

Mark it in your diaries! October 4 at New York City’s legendary Carnegie Hall, (RED)NIGHTS will host “Hal Willner Presents: An Evening with Gavin Friday and Friends.” We can’t wait. The star-studded evening will feature Laurie Anderson, Antony, Elizabeth Ashley, Bono, Adam Clayton, Andrea Corr, The Edge, Flo & Eddie, Joel Grey, Gavin Friday and the Virgin Prunes, Bill Frisell, Guggi, Courtney Love, Lydia Lunch, Patrick McCabe, Maria McKee, Shane MacGowan, Eric Mingus, Larry Mullen, JG Thirlwell, Martha Wainright, Rufus Wainright, and Chloe Webb plus other special guests.


Tickets for the event will go on sale on Wednesday, September 16 at 11AM EST. And as with all (RED)NIGHTS shows, a portion of the proceeds from the concert goes directly to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. Gavin, who’s a childhood friend of Bono, is an Irish singer, composer and painter and founding member of the gothic rock group The Virgin Prunes. We’re so happy that he’s decided to turn this amazing show (RED).

Tickets are available at CarnegieCharge at 212.247.7800, Carnegie Hall and the box office. Get them on Wednesday.

See you there!

we hadn't really discussed the plans for the evening yet. are there any good (cheap!) places nearby that you would recommend? if we can work it out, it'd be great to see you again after so long.

 

[dazzledbylight]

I'll have to check

i don't think much...being wherre it is....

But about 5- 6-7 blocks away is a Whole Foods Market with a delicious Hot & Cold Salad bar . It's not super cheap. $8.99 /LB
It's at the big Time Warner Building on Columbus circle

I eat there 2 -3 TIMES /MONTH when i have some extra $ with or without friends.
Usually i pend around 3 -4 $ like a half meal. Once every 6 -8 weeks I'll spend around 10$ there.


let me see what I can get on lne restaurant wise! get back to you.


looked on half of Menupages for that area.

only thig so far that's cheapish and good sounding is

Fluffy's cafe & bakery

855 7th Ave
between 54th & 55ft streets

it's an early night here

SO I have leave in a few mins

back tomorrow hopefully by 4PM

Does anyone know if there is a dress code?

 

[mikal]

so i've totally missed this whole thing. is U2 performing?

 

[Diane L]

Does anyone know if there is a dress code?

I'm not sure, Laura. I personally want to get a little dressier than usual, cause it is Carnegie Hall. Unfortunately, I've gained weight and need to run to the big girls store when it opens to find something that will fit that description!!! I think jeans would be fine, tho.

Mikal, the guys in U2 have been separately billed as part of the line-up, the ad listed Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. I read an interview with Gavin in which he said they'd be "Part of the ensemble", whatever that means. I think it means we'll be seeing these musicians in a slightly different context than the usual four-piece group. We'll see about that tonight!

 

[lauramullen]

I'm just going to wear jeans and a nice shirt
