Musicians take on mountainous task
From Times Wire Reports
A cancer awareness group claimed to have staged the world’s highest musical concert -- on Mt. Everest.
The U.S.-based Love Hope Strength Foundation says on its website that the “Everest Rocks” concert was held at 18,540 feet.
Six musicians from the U.S. and Britain performed at the concert: Mike Peters of the Alarm, Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats, Cy Curnin and Jamie West-Oram of the Fixx, Glen Tilbrook of the Squeeze and Nick Harper. The money raised will go to a Nepalese cancer hospital.
