The incredible Justin Timberlake paid us a visit to rehearse his set for his performance at the Elton John's Aids Foundation fund raiser event. The 11th annual White Tie & Tiara Ball was held on the 19th June 09 at Sir Elton John and David Furnish's Windsor home. JHL provided a full backline and technicians to take care of his 10 piece band. The equipment spec was very challenging and it included everything from vintage Fender Rhodes 88 suitcase pianos and Hammond B3 organ to the very latest Roland V-Synth GT's, Yamaha Motif ES7's and Moog Voyager keyboards.
Hosted by jewellers to the stars Chopard, the star-studded bash which was attended by the likes of Chace Crawford, Claire Danes, Elizabeth Hurley, Geri Halliwell, Kate Beckinsale, Kelly Osbourne and Lily Allen was hailed a great success and we wish Elton's foundation the very best.
