David joins Romany Gilmour at small local gig
Last night, in the city of Brighton and Hove, the Neptune Inn pub (in Hove) hosted a small gig for Romany Gilmour, David’s daughter, who contributes to his new album Luck and Strange. With rehearsals for the day finished, David presumably felt he had unfinished business and turned up unannounced to run through Wish You Were Here with his daughter! As Jerry Ewing of Louder Sound/Prog (https://www.loudersound.com/news/wish-you-were-here-david-gilmour-stuns-tiny-brighton-pub-with-live-rendition-of-pink-floyd-classic) reports, Romany had been performing at the pub’s regular Monday evening open mic night, running through Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will, Joanna Newsom’s This Side Of Blue, and her own Lily Of The Roses, when her father arrived with a guitar! A glimpse of the event can be seen here: Very much enjoyed crashing @GilmourRomany (https://twitter.com/GilmourRomany?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)âs gig at the Neptune in Hove this evening after finishing tour rehearsals⦠pic.twitter.com/9FxlX2YMIu (https://t.co/9FxlX2YMIu)— David Gilmour (@davidgilmour) September 9, 2024 (https://twitter.com/davidgilmour/status/1833249956427104539?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
