More details emerged today of David Gilmour's upcoming appearance at London's Abbey Road Studios, courtesy of his always interesting blog site. David and his full touring band will be in Studio One, the largest at the Studios, on Tuesday, August 29th.

Recording "On An Island" at Abbey Road, Studio One

Studio One is where many classic orchestral scores and recordings have been made over the years, from film soundtracks through to orchestral segments on David's "On An Island" album.

This is for his part in a major new music series - Live From Abbey Road - which will see some of the world's biggest artists performing their songs there. Other artists due to take part (on other days) include The Who, Paul Simon and Diana Ross.

The twelve, sixty minute specials will have their premiere on the UK's Channel 4 TV in November 2006, coinciding with the studios' 75th anniversary, and according to David's blog, David's special could well be on November 25th/26th, but this is to be confirmed, and we will update you closer to the event.

The good news for Floyd fans worldwide is that the series will be shown internationally, as the distribution rights have been picked up by a major media concern. As we get details of the show in various countries we will let you know, but we understand that these screenings will not be until next year.
