The article finds David chatting with acclaimed author Mark Blake (Pigs Might Fly about Pink Floyd, and other books) about the new album. He also hints at more to come before too long: “I’ve got a trove of stuff already”. Alongside what the magazine are calling “The Definitive Interview”, there are articles looking at Joni Mitchell, the Ramones and much more. The cover mounted CD – Point Me At The Sky, with a suitably 60s design on the cover – holds “15 Flashbacks to the Golden Age of British Psych”, with Soft Machine, The Pretty Things and more. Always a great read, the magazine is due to arrive in UK stores in a week’s time, and will be available in selected locations worldwide as an import, in due course. Alternatively, you can order (worldwide) online through the Great Magazines website which is owned and run by the publishers of Mojo (and will secure you the cover-mounted CD as well!)

David Gilmour performing at the 2012 Douglas Adams 60th Birthday Party

11 March 2012 would have been the author Douglas Adams’ 60th Birthday. To celebrate this event, Douglas’s family and friends decided to hold a “virtual birthday party” in London, at the Hammersmith Apollo (formerly Odeon) which turned out to be a stunning, star-studded event with chat, comedy and music filling the evening. Our review of the evening can be found here (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/archive/david-gilmour-performs-at-the-douglas-adams-60th-birthday.html). The event was staged in aid of Save The Rhino International. For the musical part of the evening, there was quite the house band. Robbie McIntosh on guitar and vocals, Gary Brooker on keyboards and vocals, Jodi Linscott on percussion, Wix Wickens on keyboards, Margo Buchanan on vocals and guitar, backed by Dave Bronze on bass, and Paul Beavis on drums. Joining them later in the set was David Gilmour, who sang Wish You Were Here, which he played an acoustic guitar on, followed by Chuck Berry’s Too Much Monkey Business with the Black Strat fired up, which he also used on the finale of A Whiter Shade Of Pale. The show was filmed, but never released. However, one decade on, and to coincide with what would have been Douglas’s 70th birthday, permission has been granted to release that stunning finale, which you can see here:
