Pink Floyd Day II takes place
this Saturday, April 27th, at PalaBrescia, with Italian enthusiasts of the band holding
their annual, national celebration of the band.
Being held to benefit the charity AIL Brescia, the day will be entirely dedicated to Pink
Floyd, their music, their thoughts, their images, with the participation of a wide variety
of guests, each in their own way representative of a different aspect of the band.
The event will be presented by Dario Salvatori, one of the most famous Italian music
critics, author, and TV presenter. Amongst the guests will be Heyou fanzine; the people
behind Floydseum, the first 3D virtual Floyd museum who will bring along some of their
rarities for fans to enjoy; author Alexander Martorelli presenting his new book "Even Pink
Floyd Can Go Wrong" which has already had much critic praise, alongside other guests.
Vintage guitars will be on display, alongside some incredibly rare Floyd memorabilia
brought along by some of the most notable Italian Floyd collectors.
The day ends with a big concert by one of the biggest Italian Floyd tribute bands, Wit
Matrix. For the occasion, they will be joined by Durga McBroom-Hudson from Los Angeles,
singer with Pink Floyd on the road since 1987, who will be also present in the afternoon at
the conference and available to fans for photos and autographs.
The event starts at 4pm, and for more information visit www.pinkfloydday2.it.

Ron Geesin, the composer and musician who worked with Roger Waters on the soundtrack to the movie, The Body (and subsequent soundtrack album), and with the Pink Floyd on their 1970 epic, Atom Heart Mother, appears at the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill tomorrow, Saturday April 20th, as part of a Serge Chermayeff exhibition.
"Dear Serge" is an homage to the forward-thinking mind of Serge Chermayeff - an architect, designer, thinker and prominent educator - who the Pavilion proudly has as part of its history. The event - for which tickets are free - runs from 2pm to 10pm, and Ron's performance is scheduled between 9:20pm - 10pm. Facing Ron Geesin is described as "a vibrant probing of the ether through piano, banjos, bass-xylophone, percussion and throat. Wholly consumable see the manic expressive at play." Should be a hugely fun performance and very much worth attending.
For more information, visit the De La Warr Pavilion's website.

Yesterday, at the Huffington Post's website, Roger Waters came in to do a fascinating video interview. He joined them to discuss music, The Wall, and his criticism of the Israeli occupation. You can view the interview in full at their website, or below:

Further to our story about the Roger Waters talk in New York City being cancelled, a statement has been made by Roger himself about the situation. Here's what he said:
"There has been some chatter about the cancellation of my interview at 92Y. By way of clarification, here is what I know.
"I was invited by 92Y to take part in an interview at the Theresa L. Kaufmann Concert Hall on the 30th April this year. I checked out a couple of previous talks on YouTube, and as they appeared to be serious and measured discourse, I accepted the invitation to take part.
"Things were complicated when the Opera House in São Paulo, Brazil requested my presence for four full productions of Ça Ira, my opera on the French Revolution, around conflicting dates. In the end, the date for the dress rehearsal of Ça Ira fell on the 30 th April, and so, reluctantly and very apologetically, I asked the team at 92Y if my appearance could be re-scheduled. Assistant Director Jennifer Hausler, who had been helping all along, couldn’t have been more understanding, gave me some alternative dates in June and I accepted June the 19th. Everyone was happy. Well, perhaps not quite everyone.

The upcoming Roger Waters career retrospective at the Theresa L Kaufmann Concert Hall at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, originally scheduled for April 30th, 2013, and then rescheduled to June 19th, 2013, has just been cancelled, we are sorry to report.
Roger was due to be taking the stage to look back over his long career, first with Pink Floyd, then as a solo artist. His various side projects and interests were also likely to feature in what was shaping up to be a fascinating evening.
However, as the Jewish Daily Forward reports, certain parts of the Jewish community were not happy with the event, due to Roger's views on Israel. Tickets will be refunded by the organisers.
