With David Gilmour concluding his 2024 Luck and Strange concert dates with a string of incredible shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan (tonight seeing the final show), he took time out this week during a gap between shows to appear on US TV’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. For those who missed the late evening (in New York, anyway) broadcast of the show, they’ve put the two segments – interview, and performance with his backing singers Louise Marshall, the Webb Sisters, and Romany Gilmour, alongside Fallon’s house band – online, which we share here:
London singer-songwriter Chris Pidsley releases contemplative new single “Berryhead”.

Some more news for our friends in Italy – Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets have just announced the date and venue of the Rome concert. They revealed back in December that they would be performing in the city, but there were no further details. Details of the dates and venues of ALL the Italian shows are below. Tickets for the newly announced show in Rome, at Cavea, Auditorium Parco Della Musica on July 21st, go on sale TOMORROW (Tuesday, January 23rd) at 11am local time (10am UK), through TicketOne (https://www.ticketone.it/artist/nick-mason/) and we anticipate that they will sell very quickly. Obviously, should further dates be announced for elsewhere, we’ll let you know – so there’s NO need to email us asking if they’ll be playing in your local town or city, or have any plans to play particular countries. We get asked this an awful lot. If it’s not showing below, we have no idea! We also don’t yet know if there will be any changes to the set list, or anything else. Due to the incredible reaction that Echoes received over the last couple of years, it is likely (although not guaranteed, of course) that they will include this during the show. We’ll all have to wait and see what they decide to play! Here are the dates, with the venue (and revised date) for Rome now included: 18 July – Teatro Arcimboldi, Milan, Italy (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2024/july-18th-teatro-arcimboldi-milan-italy.html) – TICKETS (https://www.ticketone.it/artist/nick-mason/)
