December 2020 issue of Italian/English Floyd fanzine Heyou now available

Just published is the latest issue (number 35 – cover date December 2020) of the Pink Floyd fanzine Heyou run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name. The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world. The magazine has a range of subjects as its major focuses, despite 2020 being a year when plans have changed dramatically for many people – musicians in particular, with Roger and Nick both having planned to be touring with their respective bands. The first feature looks at the collaboration between Polly Samson and David Gilmour – in particular the audiobook of A Theatre For Dreamers and David’s single, Yes, I Have Ghosts. This is followed by a lengthy review by The Second Disc of Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets: Live At The Roundhouse, which is (quite rightly) very enthusiastic about the release. There’s a detailed and fascinating look at the making of The Later Years box set, via an article from somethingelsereviews.com, which includes interviews with Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, Damon Iddins, and Andy Jackson. A review of the Roger Waters Us + Them precedes the first part of a detailed article looking at the initial run of Wall concerts in 1980, and what happened during the shows. Finally, there’s a look at two of the Floyd related Record Store Day 2020 releases – Roger’s 1990 Berlin gig on vinyl, and the Floyd’s 7″ single of Arnold Layne recorded at the Syd Barrett tribute concert at London’s Barbican in 2007. More details of the Heyou fanzine can be found at www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.html (http://www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.html), where you can get individual copies, and subscription enquiries (four issues costing 35 euros within Europe, and 45 euros outside Europe) should go to durgaheyou@libero.it (mailto:durgaheyou@libero.it?subject=Heyou%20enquiry%20from%20BD%20visitor) – make sure you mention Brain Damage when you write!
