Back in December, we told you how our friend Charles Beterams over at Floydstuff had lined up a show for those of you in or near Amsterdam in The Netherlands. He is hosting Guy Pratt at the beautiful Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American, following the incredible 2022 tour with Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, for an evening of chatter and some music too.
The event takes place at 8pm, at the hotel's intimate setting of the 'Mata Hide Away' named after the infamous courtesan and convicted spy Mata Hari. The Hard Rock Hotel Amsterdam American is featured in the legendary photo shoot by Nico van der Stam during Pink Floyd's first visit to the Netherlands in April 1967. Whilst tickets for this event are very limited, a few extra tickets have just been released and are available NOW from Floydstuff.com.
Talking of limited things from Floydstuff, those who haven't bought their copy of Pink Floyd - Any Colour You Like: The Dark Side Of The Moon on Vinyl yet, don't leave it too long - Floydstuff have advised they are down to the last few boxes of this fascinating book, a guide to some 700 different versions of the album!
In other Guy Pratt news, it's been announced that Guy will be appearing in a new film, planned for release next year, called The Monk, The Mermaid & Molise. Guy will appear as a fictionalised version of himself, alongside Raffaello Degruttola, Sally Phillips and Ronni Ancona. The basic premise of the film is that Guy accepts an invitation to spend five days playing a series of bass clinics in a remote Italian region, Molise, run by a super fan, and must face up to decisions from his past. In the Screen Daily announcement, it notes that Guy will write the music, with contributions from his previous musical collaborators.
