Exclusive Gilmour 4 track CD with paperback of Polly Samson’s “…Dreamers” novel

ticketmastersComment(0)

Most of you will be aware of A Theatre for Dreamers, Polly Samson’s most recent bestselling novel, which was a 2020 book of the year in The Times and Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail and Spectator. To accompany the book, David Gilmour created some new music, principally for the audiobook version of A Theatre For Dreamers. One song in particular, Yes, I Have Ghosts, received a standalone, 7″ single release for Record Store Day last year. Just announced is the paperback edition, with the Rough Trade record store chain offering an exclusive edition at roughtrade.com/gb/polly-samson/a-theatre-for-dreamers (https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/polly-samson/a-theatre-for-dreamers). Ordered through them, the book comes with an exclusive bonus CD, featuring four songs inspired by the book. Initial orders had the bonus of the CD being signed by Samson and Gilmour, but those quickly sold out. They are now offering a few more signed CDs, so don’t delay if you fancy one – and make sure you select the “Paperback+” option which is the signed version, if it is there when you are ordering! The four tracks were written by Samson and Gilmour, and performed by Gilmour and the couple’s daughter Romany. Songs 2, 3 and 4 are instrumentals. CD Track Listing: Yes, I Have Ghosts
Tell The Truth
Astral Dust
Kokineli We don’t know how limited this edition is yet, nor if the first song, Yes, I Have Ghosts, is a different version to what has been released already. We do suspect this will sell very quickly, so suggest you get your orders in now (https://www.roughtrade.com/gb/polly-samson/a-theatre-for-dreamers)! Please note that this CD isn’t being offered with the paperback book through other retailers – it’s just Rough Trade.

The Lyrics Of Syd Barrett – new book out now!

ticketmastersComment(0)

Just published (last Thursday, February 18th) in Europe by Omnibus Books, is The Lyrics of Syd Barrett. In North America, you’ll have to wait a little bit as it comes out over there on May 6th. Featuring 52 songs and a foreword by Pink Floyd’s first manager, Peter Jenner, and an introduction by Rob Chapman (author of Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head), this beautifully illustrated and official 96-page book compiles Syd’s extraordinary lyrics together for the very first time. David Gilmour has been a key person behind this book, working his way through Syd lyrics checking them for accuracy before the book went to the printers. As the publisher’s rightly note, “legendary Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett’s songwriting was unique, memorable and utterly brilliant.” This book is sure to be a popular choice for many; Syd’s lyrics were captivating, sometimes playful, sometimes dark and painful, but always unforgettable. Alongside the lyrics are a number of photos and artwork. Having just got our hands on this, we’ve been very impressed with it. It’s very nicely produced (and slightly larger format than we were expecting) and finally we have what must be considered the definitive version of Syd’s song lyrics – with David Gilmour listening to the isolated vocal track on the original tapes at times to nail exactly what Syd was singing at various points, specifically for this book, that should settle any arguments over the lyrics for these songs. We’d love to know what you think about the book, particularly if you have your copy already. Did anything come as a surprise to you? Do let us know at the normal email address! For those who would like to add this to their Floydian bookshelves, you can order it through the following direct links. Ordering through our links also helps with BD’s ongoing running costs, and we really appreciate it: Amazon UK (https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1787602567/braindamage-21), Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1787602567/braindamage-20), Amazon Canada (https://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/1787602567/braindamageon-20),

In Conversation with Harry Strange

ticketmastersComment(0)

After the success of his debut EP, Harry Strange returns with his unquestionably brilliant new single ‘Four In The Morning’. Incorporating vibrant and bold production, the track evidences Strange’s sonic evolution as he ventures further into alt-pop territory. Despite the spirited production one of Strange’s key strengths is still his lyricism, with his latest offering …

ticketmastersComment(0)

As you'll no doubt be aware, legendary drummer Mick Fleetwood enlisted an all-star cast for a one-of-a-kind concert, in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, which was held on Tuesday evening (25th February) at London's Palladium. Tickets for Mick Fleetwood Friends Celebrate The Music Of Peter Green And The Early Years Of Fleetwood Mac, when it was announced, sold out in near record time, and that was no surprise when the announced bill (later expanded a little) was revealed.The bill included Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Jonny Lang, Andy Fairweather Low, John Mayall, Christine McVie, Zak Starkey, Steven Tyler, Bill Wyman, Noel Gallagher, Pete Townshend, Neil Finn, Kirk Hammett and many more. Legendary producer Glyn Johns joined as the executive sound producer and the house band featured Fleetwood himself along with Andy Fairweather Low, Dave Bronze and Ricky Peterson.Fleetwood, who curated the list of artists performing, said: The concert is a celebration of those early blues days where we all began, and it's important to recognize the profound impact Peter and the early Fleetwood Mac had on the world of music. Peter was my greatest mentor and it gives me such joy to pay tribute to his incredible talent. I am honoured to be sharing the stage with some of the many artists Peter has inspired over the years and who share my great respect for this remarkable musician. 'Then Play On'… Here's some shots of David in action – he performed Oh Well Part Two (something which had NEVER been performed live previously in the history of Fleetwood Mac) on a Black Strat, and on a slide guitar, treated the audience to Albatross.For those who weren't able to attend the concert, there's some excellent news! On October 16th there's the Super Deluxe Edition Box Set, which consists of the entire show on 4LP, 2CD and a Blu-ray in a book. There's a limited edition attendee version that includes your choice of name in the concert documentary credits, a reproduction signed concert poster, and reproduction signed set list.

Roger Waters joining Ginger Baker tribute concert on Monday

ticketmastersComment(0)

Roger Waters has just announced that he will be joining the bill of this coming Monday's (February 17th) concert to honour a very special drummer. Eric Clapton Friends: A Tribute to Ginger Baker takes place at London's Eventim Apollo (formerly the Hammersmith Odeon).The set list for the concert will look to honour Baker's lifetime in music and will, of course, include Clapton and Baker's work together in Cream and Blind Faith. The event will be held in aid of Leonard Cheshire, a charity close to the Baker family, which supports disabled individuals to live, learn and work as independently as they choose, whatever their ability, at the heart of local life – opening doors to opportunity, choice and support in communities around the globe.The rest of the line-up has yet to be announced; tickets for the concert sold out a long time ago, unsurprisingly.Some of you will be aware that this won't be the first time that Eric and Roger will have worked together on stage – Roger's 1984 Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking tour included Eric on guitar in the band, to great acclaim. Roger's announcement of this earlier today on his social media was quite low key, and follows an earlier video he posted running through the chords of Sunshine Of Your Love, without explanation of why he was doing it. Now we know!
