Some of you will have had tickets for launch events to mark the release of Polly Samson's new book, A Theatre For Dreamers, which were scheduled for this week in Manchester, Birmingham and London. Due to the current pandemic, understandably these events (which were to feature, alongside Polly, David Gilmour and guests performing some music, including a new song) have moved to September.However, Polly and David both still wished to mark the book's release on its publication date, and so have decided to host a live stream via David's official Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/DavidGilmour) tomorrow evening.As yet, there are no details of what the stream will include, although a video has been shared of them getting ready for this in a studio space. Apart from Polly reading passages from the book, to give watchers a flavour of it, chances are also that at the very least an acoustic guitar might be picked up by David, to accompany her.Make sure you tune in tomorrow (Thursday, April 2nd) at 8pm BST/3pm EST at www.facebook.com/DavidGilmour (http://www.facebook.com/DavidGilmour) to see what occurs. The stream may well also be available to watch on demand after the event.

Metallic Spheres In Colour – The Orb and David Gilmour: EartH, London
To coincide with the release of Metallic Spheres in Colour by The Orb and David Gilmour (full details and ordering info here (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/metallic-spheres-in-colour-the-orb-and-david-gilmour-cd-lp-di.html)) on September 29th, a special event was held at EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney) in London to launch and perform the album. The reimagining of the original album has garnered much acclaim and brought the work to a new audience, as well as those who were already familiar with the 2010 version. This launch event was a celebration of the work undertaken. Of this new reimagining, producer Youth said that “the idea for Metallic Spheres In Colour, was that Alex Paterson (founder of The Orb) could have done more on the first version, and he didn’t really have the opportunity because we had a philosophy of making the music like the Blade Runner soundtrack meets Wish You Were Here. So, I asked him why don’t we remix it and make it like an Orb classic? And in doing that, it’s almost like a completely different album.” There were lukewarm and highly unrealistic rumours that David Gilmour would appear to recreate his guitar work, and as expected, he didn’t. A good friend of BD, Marcelo Paulo de Souza, was at the event, and sent over the following notes on the event, along with the great pictures below! Last Friday, I attended the album release party in London for Metallic Spheres in Colour by The Orb and David Gilmour. To celebrate the launch of the Metallic Spheres in Colour album, The Orb were due to perform the entire album live, alongside some classics and modern pieces. Additionally, Youth, the producer of Pink Floyd’s seminal album, The Endless River, played a DJ set that included a pleasantly strange rendition of the song Time. David Gilmour did not perform at this show. Despite the advert for the event, they didn’t perform the entire album, but just a segment. As promised, here are a few photos from the Album Release Party for Metallic Spheres in Colour last Friday:

David Gilmour announces six nights of concerts in Rome, Italy
official David Gilmour Italian Album Store (https://DavidGilmour.lnk.to/storeIT) (including those who have already done so), with the general sale of tickets beginning on Friday, May 17th via this link at Ticketone.it (https://www.ticketone.it/en/artist/david-gilmour/) Other than the store presale, there is a Virgin Radio Presale at this link (https://www.ticketone.it/virginradio), from May 15th at 9am until May 16th at 11:59pm. There’s also a Sonyo Presale running at the same time as the Virgin Radio Presale. As with the Royal Albert Hall tickets, we suspect these shows – the only ones that will be performed in mainland Europe – will be extremely popular. The capacity of the venue should be higher than the London venue, so hopefully plenty of fans will be able to secure tickets.
