Happy Birthday to David Gilmour

Happy 78th Birthday to David Gilmour who was born on 6th March 1946. As we mark the birthday of David Gilmour, the iconic Pink Floyd guitarist, it’s a moment to reflect on the indelible impact he has made on the world of music. Born on March 6, 1946, Gilmour’s journey through the realms of psychedelic and progressive rock has cemented his status as a true maestro. Gilmour’s entry into Pink Floyd in 1968 marked a pivotal shift in the band’s sound. His distinctive guitar playing, characterized by its lyrical, smooth, and melodic style, became a signature element of Pink Floyd’s identity. Albums like “The Dark Side of the Moon,” “Wish You Were Here,” and “The Wall” not only showcase his skill but also his ability to evoke deep emotion through his instrument. While Gilmour’s guitar skills are legendary, his contributions as a vocalist and songwriter are equally significant. His soulful...

Syd Barrett Gigolo Aunt Official Lyrics Video Released

The estate of the late Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett has released another official lyrics video. This time round, it is the fantastic song Gigolo Aunt. You can watch the video online via the Official Syd Barrett YouTube channel. Douglas Arthur Peter Field was born on the 6th of August 1945. 18 months older than Syd Barrett, Duggie was an upcoming artist in London who blended the imagery of cartoons, fashion and advertising with Dalí and Mondrian. For all he learned at art school, however, Fields’ real education, and fame, came from the milieu of late 60s and 70s London, where he was a regular at parties, recognisable by his quiff and penchant for eyebrow makeup. 18 months older than Syd Barrett, Duggie Fields shared an Earl’s Court flat with Syd Barrett. He was an upcoming artist in London who blended the imagery of cartoons, fashion and advertising with Dalí...

Andy Jackson’s New Solo Album out March 2024

Andy Jackson, renowned for his pivotal role in shaping the sound of Pink Floyd, returns with a fantastic new album. Following his previously celebrated works ‘Signal to Noise’ (2014), ‘3 Days at Sea’ (2016), and ‘Twelve Half Steps’ (2023), Jackson continues to innovate and captivate. His latest creation, ‘AI AJ’, delves into the compelling theme of artificial intelligence and its profound influence on our existence. True to Jackson’s reputation, this album emerges as another compelling, sonically superior production. Andy told NPF, “The theme is one of an AI, self aware and its relationship with the human/listener. What I’ve been slightly oblique about is that the vocal itself is synthetic, an AI. I think that potentially no one would know if I didn’t tell them, it’s incredibly good. I do however make it start to ‘break’ as the story goes on and it starts to malfunction, think HAL in 2001.” I...
