With
David Gilmour's On An Island tour now complete, Guy Pratt, who
very ably took care of bass duties in the band (and on the album), is
keeping himself busy. Having had such a great time on the tour, he told
us that he is "missing the road terribly...", and so has told us about
his four upcoming one-man shows in London.
A short while ago he contacted us to thank all the Brain Damage
readership who submitted their comments about the Gilmour shows. Your
reviews obviously gave the band something to read in quiet moments, and
maybe even gave them food for thought! You can read the reviews, and
information about the shows, in our David Gilmour 2006 tour zone.
Naturally, Guy has added material from this tour to his show, which now
includes anecdotes relating to his work not only with David and the
Floyd, but also other luminaries such as Michael Jackson, Madonna,
Bryan Ferry, and Whitesnake's David Coverdale. It has received
enthusiastic reviews from many sources, and indeed, our own review of
the show can be read through this link: http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/old/reviews/guylive.html.
The shows will all take place at the historic King's Head Theatre in
Islington, North London, on 13th, 20th, 26th and 27th November. Tickets
will be available from the venue box office on (tel:) 0207-226-1916,
and from online ticket agent, Ticketweb.co.uk. Tickets should be
available soon.
Guy brings to vivid life some of the absurdities of life on the road,
and the absurd characters, too. An excellent way to spend an evening!
The Floyd content was excellent, but then so were his anecdotes about
the many other top artists he has worked with, too. We're really
pleased that Guy has announced more shows... We'll be there, and urge
you to be there, too...
