Roz's review of (MOTO) RED Square

One of our colleagues Roz sent us a review of her experience in London at (MOTO) RED Square with the Scissor Sisters:

On Saturday night, I joined 15,000 (RED) revelers in Trafalgar Square for a sensational performance from the Scissor Sisters as they teamed up with Motorola to promote their new album and show their support for (RED).

It was quite surreal to see the rapid transformation of one of London’s most iconic landmarks as the Square literally changed colour to go (RED), with red fountains, lighting, backdrops, not to mention thousands of people flaunting their redwears and (RED) Gap T-shirts.

To our delight, Kylie introduced the band! She looked fabulous and was clearly over-the-moon to be back on stage. Then we were treated to a dazzling pop performance by the Scissor Sisters, they rocked the crowd with some of their old favourites, plus we enjoyed songs from the new album Ta-dah, including "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" which has gone straight to No. 1!

By the end of the concert, the square was exploding with energy, everyone was dancing, fans even climbed up into the main fountain to strut their stuff! The vibe was contagious as was the (RED) message: What we choose to buy will change history, upgrade to (RED).

We left Trafalgar Square exhilarated and inspired with the beginning of the new (RED)era…

Roz, thanks for the firsthand account of this event for RED.

It was GREAT to read your review of the evening and to see the pics of that night.

I was in London several years ago and remember Trafalgar Square well.

To think of it illuminated with RED supporters is just about the sweetest thing that I have heard of in some time.

Trample the bastions of indifference to the suffering of hundreds of thousands of desperately poor and totally innocent African people with POSITIVE VIBRATIONS!

Excellent idea, RED. (smile)


Take very good care, my friends.

Blessings - not just for those who kneel.


ALWAYS RED, debbie

15,000 people. that is excellent! . . about the size of my hometown here outside seattle. and thanx for the photos; saw one that said red and the global fund, that a man was wearing the new GAP inspi(red) shirt, and it's as exciting to me as the Edun ONE shirts that were just released. cool current contemporary products, making a profit for the folks who need it in africa. thank you!

have an awesome week. this is your time!

stay close,

Hello Roz, it is so nice to hear more about the concert. I loved the message: "What we choose to buy will change history, upgrade to (RED)."

That's a powerful message!

I flew to Las Vegas today and I was wearing my new One t-shirt from EDUN...and my wrist band also... so proud and of course people were staring at me. I hope soon to see more people wearing it and also wearing RED t-shirts...I can't wait to put my hands on mine...like everybody else, right?
