Full article:

Eric Clapton : Obviously it was a concert I very much wanted to do both on behalf of Ronnie and on behalf of the Action Research into Multiple Sclerosis Fund. But that didn't mean I wasn't nervous. Far from it. I was petrified when we had the first rehearsals, but it rapidly became great fun. And it was a delight to work with such a competent bunch of musicians.
