Just published is the latest issue (number 27 - cover date April 2016) of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name.
The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world this year. With so much happening what with Roger's various activities, and David's new album and tour, there has been plenty for the authors at Heyou to include.
Heyou kicks off with a look at the wonderful Taken By Storm documentary by Roddy Bogawa, which will hopefully encourage readers to check out this fascinating look at the late, and very much missed, Storm Thorgerson, his colleagues over the years, and their incredible work.
Elsewhere in the magazine, there's a reprint of a recent interview with David about Rattle That Lock, as well as a reprint of an interview with Roger from Noisy. Alongside this is a review of the Wall film that was fairly recently released.
With the recent release of his excellent new book, The Complete Pink Floyd, there's a short interview with Brain Damage founder Glenn Povey about the creation of the new book, and how it compares to the previous editions (released some time ago now).
There's an extensive review by Bjorn Riis of one of David's Royal Albert Hall concerts last year. As Bjorn is a guitarist, there's a strong focus on David's guitar work in the concert, and the equipment used for each song.
As with most issues of Heyou, there's a chronological look at things that have happened in the last few months in the news pages, ranging from various magazines published with Floyd content, to things like the 1965 - Their First Recordings. Last issue's news pages were very brief, and it looks like they've caught up with things they missed last time, as well as more recent happenings.
