Great Britain - From Amy's shoes to U2 text, pop memorabilia to help the sick

A pair of stiletto heels worn by Amy Winehouse, the lyrics of songs written by hand by stars such as U2, Annie Lennox and Bon Jovi, autographed musical instruments and even private lessons given by the most famous interpreters: these are just some of the many memorabilia, memorabilia, ideas and unique pieces put up for auction in an initiative promoted by the Anglo-Jamaican record company Island Records to raise funds for charities that assist coronavirus patients in the United Kingdom and the United States.
    The list of artists who have decided to participate in the 'One Love Covid-19 Relief Auction' campaign is very long: in addition to those mentioned, there are the band Mumford & Sons, Portishead, Ben Howard, OneRepublic and others. Bono Vox, U2 frontman, has signed a copy of the famous song Where the Streets Have No Name, contained in a special box set of the album The Joshua Tree. Annie Lennox did the same for another unforgettable hit, Sweet Dreams, by Eurythmics.
    Not only music texts, albums and objects belonging to artists in the auction, scheduled for May 21 on the Omega Auctions online platform, but also real experiences with musicians. Mumford & Sons 'indie' band offers fans an individual banjo lesson, for example, while Portishead's Adrian Utley is ready to share his guitar and synthesizer secrets online. The initiative is also attended by the legendary Abbey Road Studios, the recording studios in London where great myths of music have been recorded, from the Beatles, to Pink Floyd, to Queen: in this case, the enchantment ends with a private tour in the temple of rock .
    For luxury lovers, there will also be the opportunity to make an offer to win a stay at Strawberry Hill, a 5-star hotel in Jamaica, opened by one of the founders of Island Records, Chris Blackwell. Coronavirus permitting.
