was:

Most of them were known to David
Gilmour (some were part of Pink Floyd live band; he had played with
Jody Linscott in Deep End; and some others appear in Sam Brown solo albums,
along with David).
On October 11th, 1992, there is another benefit
event, at the Chelsea Arts Ball, with a stellar lineup, very close to Pink
Floyd lineup:
David
Gilmour (guitar)
Tim Renwick (guitar, vocals)
Guy Pratt (bass)
Jon
Carin (keyboards, vocals)
Jody Linscott (percussion)
Gary Wallis (drums)
Sam Brown (vocals)
Some guests appearing in the gig were Rick
Wright & Nick Mason, plus Tom Jones,
Hugh Cornwell (from The Stranglers), Mica Paris, Elvis Costello and others.
In March 1993, he was touring with 10CC:

guitar, keyboards)
Graham Gouldman (vocals,
bass, guitar)

bass)
Stuart Tosh (vocals, percussion)
Stephen Piggott (keyboards)
Gary Wallis (drums)
They released a live album, recorded in Tokyo. I have
two different editions (one as 1CD, the other as 2CDs, with several more
songs). A fantastic live album.
Apart from touring with Pink
Floyd, he has also been touring with Mike + The Mechanics during 1995 and
1996 (along with Tim Renwick). In 1995, Mike + The Mechanics make
a new tour, although they had lost two members: Adrian Lee and Peter Van
Hooke. The tour lasted until 1996. This was the live lineup:
Paul Young (vocals)
Mike Rutherford (guitar,
bass)
Paul Carrack (vocals, keyboards)

In December 1997, Paul Carrack forms a live band to
promote his album Beautiful world:
