This evening, from 6:30pm BST (UK time), a Stand Up For Palestine concert takes place, with Yusuf (Cat Stevens) Islam, rapper Lowkey, and Roger Waters, amongst those taking part. It is being webcast from a secret location, which is a small church in London.

There is no indication of when during the show that Roger will be appearing, if he will have any other musicians with him, or what he will be performing. You can watch the show via the following:

Update: We suspect the webcast will remain available to view on demand for some time. Roger's part of the show saw him doing a speech, before playing Wish You Were Here on acoustic guitar (accompanied by Dave Kilminster, also on acoustic), followed by The Bar which Roger played piano on, with no other accompaniment.

The details for the limited edition deluxe formats for David Gilmour's Luck and Strange album, which is released on September 6th 2024, have been revealed and will include bonus tracks and a very special hardback book by Thames & Hudson featuring exclusive photographs taken by Polly Samson during the recording of the album. The deluxe editions will be limited to one run only.

Up to now, there's just been a blurry hint at the editions over at David's official store, but now full details have been revealed. The deluxe editions come in two versions: vinyl or CD, depending on which format you prefer for the standard audio elements.

Released today is the second single from David Gilmour's forthcoming album, Luck And Strange, which is released on September 6th - full details here. The song is Between Two Points, which is a cover of a track by the Montgolfier Brothers from their 1999 debut album Seventeen Stars, and features David's daughter Romany on vocals and harp.

David: "I've had that song on my playlist since it was released. More recently I mentioned it to one or two people: I assumed that it had been a hit, but no one knew it. I asked Romany to give it a go". During the live streams that David and family, as the Von Trappeds, performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, Romany had sung and played the harp, and David found that their voices mixed in a way that only a family member could. Around that time, David and Romany collaborated on the song Yes, I Have Ghosts, which appears on the CD & Blu-Ray versions of Luck and Strange. "I realised that Romany has exactly the right sort of vulnerability and youth for the song. In fact, she was halfway through an essay with a train to catch when we asked her: "OK, I'll sing it once, put the mic on" and that, said David, is 90 percent of the finished vocal.

Mark Tranmer of The Montgolfier Brothers is greatly enamoured with this new version. "David and Romany's version of our song is a great arrangement and production. Like all the best covers, it diverges from the original but keeps the spirit. Romany's vocal phrasing of Roger Quigley's words and the harp playing are both truly beautiful. David Gilmour's distinctive guitar adds a whole new dimension. I still find it incredible that David and Polly chose to cover our song from all the songs out there."

The video for Between Two Points was shot on location in London and Manchester, with David on guitars and featuring Romany Gilmour on vocals and harp. Gavin Elder who directed the clip said: "Romany performs this song with an extraordinary level of fragility, vulnerability and understated control. There's a subtle, yet deep emotional rapport between David and Romany, captured with hand held cameras, enhancing the tension within the video."

A video has been produced to explain the background to it, which you can watch here:

Coming at 5pm UK time today is the full video for the song, and if you are reading this before then, you can join the premiere here, or if after 5pm, watch the video in full whenever you want:

Well, they're back! Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have started their 2024 Set The Controls tour, with what sounds like an incredible night in Stoke.

With a new tour, there's always the thought that there will be a revised set list, and the 2024 edition of the band's repetoire included some surprises. Rather than spoil anything here, if you head to the Stoke concert page you will be able to see the new set list, which we're sure you won't be expecting certain elements of!

We're also adding some pictures we've very kindly been sent by Rob Sadler (who also contributed the picture shown here, too) to that show page. As ever, if you go to ANY of the shows, and would like to share your thoughts, and/or your pictures, with the wider Floyd community, we'd love to see them! Simply email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it with your contributions and we'll include what we can!

For those going to any upcoming shows, we hope you have a great time. There are still a few tickets left for some of the venues, so if you haven't yet got yours, make sure you snap them up as soon as you can to avoid disappointment!
