On Sunday we brought you news of a couple of interviews with David Gilmour on US radio,
airing the following day (yesterday) as the guitarist travels around
the US/Canada performing his new album and some Pink Floyd classics as
well. For those who missed the interviews, including our friends around
the world, we have details of how you can hear them on demand.
First though, last week we told you of a special recording session being undertaken by XM Radio,
in front of just 30 people - friends, family and a handful of
incredibly lucky fans (who must've thought they'd won a Wonka Golden
Ticket!). One of those fans present is a Brain Damage regular, and
thanks to him, we've got a full report of what transpired, on this site. A very special evening, and one that others will be able to enjoy soon when it is broadcast.
Turning to the interviews, these
were both interesting, and David was clearly happy and relaxed. The
syndicated, US-wide Bob and Tom Show very quickly posted the interview
onto their website - unsurprisingly called BobAndTom.com
- it can be found on their home page, and runs for almost eleven
minutes. Our thanks to the nice people in the Bob and Tom team for all
their help!
For those in the New York area,
Q104.3 featured David on Jim Kerr's Rock and Roll Morning Show. That
interview can be found on Apple's iTunes service as a podcast to
download, or can be streamed, downloaded or podcast from Q1043.com
itself. The interview here lasts almost fifteen minutes. Also on the
download page, are a selection of older interviews with Roger Waters
AND Nick Mason, too. Thanks to Phil Robinson and Michael Kelly for
their help with this.
UPCOMING BROADCASTS
The constantly growing DavidGilmour.com
(an essential daily stop-off) has revealed that David and his band
didn't just record the XM Radio session, but also recorded a
performance for broadcast later this month on AOL. The performance was
designed for airing on the internet, so features a revised light show
from the maestro, Marc Brickman.
The session is scheduled to air from April 21st, on demand, at music.aol.com/videos/sessions.
David's site have also announced
that the day before, April 20th, David and co will be appearing on the
Jay Leno show, which airs on NBC television at 11:35pm/10:35pm. More
information here, and check your local listings too for exact air times.
Those of us in Europe will also
get a chance to see this show. CNBC Europe air the show three weekdays
after broadcast in the States, (i.e. Monday's episode airs on
Thursday). Therefore, David's appearance on there should be shown in
Europe on Tuesday April 25th. They air the show at 11pm CET... CNBC
Europe airs in most countries; check with your local cable/satellite
providers for details. (Thanks to Victor who posted at David's official
blog for the head's-up on this).
Finally, our friends in Germany
don't get left out of the fun. In the week that it was announced that
David succeeded in selling over 100,000 copies of his new album, On An
Island, in the country, German radio station WDR2 has announced that it
will be airing the excellent show at London's Mermaid Theatre, recorded
on March 7th for the BBC. This airs on WDR2 on April 17th, at 6pm.
Our thanks, as always, to Ulrike for his help with this information.
