Via het management is indirect vernomen dat Roger Waters eind 2010 in de Verenigde Staten op tournee is. Of Roger ook Europa aan zal doen is nog niet bekend. Al eerder gingen er diverse geruchten dat Roger met het concept ‘The Wall’ op tour zou gaan. Nu wordt dat dus bevestigd door zijn management.

Op diverse fora op internet zijn al afbeeldingen te bekijken met als thema de
‘The Wall tour 2010′.

David Gilmour – On An Island live on BBC Radio 2Astonishingly it was almost four years ago that David Gilmour recorded a very special, exclusive concert for the BBC, at London’s Mermaid Theatre. On March 7th, 2006, in front of an audience of competition winners, and a handful of David’s family and friends, a full house had the pleasure of seeing a wonderful performance which was aired on BBC Radio 2, with highlights of the show viewable online and on BBC Interactive TV at that time.

This coming Saturday evening (January 23rd) at 10pm, you have another chance of listening to the hour-long presentation on BBC Radio 2, which can be heard in a number of ways. Those in the UK and Europe can receive the station via FM or DAB radios, or via satellite, cable and freeview TV systems. However, listeners worldwide can tune in via the excellent Listen Live/Listen Again facilities at www.BBC.co.uk/radio2.

With the Supergrass bass player sidelined due to a back injury, the band’s other two members set out as a duo playing cover versions at a number of club gigs. With the feedback from the shows being so favourable, the duo – Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey – were encouraged to record some of their favourite tunes.

The result – Turn Ons by The Hot Rats – is an album to be released on January 25th, that is akin to David Bowie’s Pin Ups, and the pair cannot hide the fact that their influences are clearly similar to The Thin White Duke’s. The album is an eclectic mix of tracks, including The Doors “The Crystal Ship”, Roxy Music’s “Love Is The Drug”, David Bowie’s “Queen Bitch”, and the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd’s “Bike”, which they performed recently in a special BBC radio session to great acclaim.

You can pre-order the album now (and hear snippets of each track) at Amazon UK.

Een aantal bekende drummers laten zich zaterdag van hun goede kant zien. De trommelaars zetten zich door middel van een film in voor vrede in Sudan, meldt het Britse muziektijdschrift NME.

Onder meer Phil Selway van Radiohead, Pink Floyds Nick Mason, Stewart Copeland van The Police en Jonny Quinn van Snow Patrol slaan een maatje mee in het vredesfilmpje. De drummers hopen met de film wereldleiders op te roepen iets te doen aan het bloedvergieten in het Afrikaanse land.
