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...

Richard Wright’s 80th Birthday – Wet Dream Remix Released with Dolby Atmos Screening Last Night in London

Today, we celebrate what would have been the 80th birthday of a true musical legend, Richard Wright. As the visionary keyboardist of Pink Floyd, Wright’s beautiful soundscapes and exploratory harmonies played an integral part in creating the band’s distinct, immersive sound. From the dreamy chords in ‘Us and Them’ to the hypnotic textures of ‘Echoes’, Wright’s contributions were the heart of Pink Floyd’s psychedelic canvas, creating a sonic backdrop against which the band painted their legendary, era-defining music. He was not just a keyboard player; he was a sound explorer, a space weaver, and an ethereal architect of Pink Floyd’s iconic sound. Wright may have departed this world, but his legacy continues to live on, touching the hearts of millions, inspiring countless musicians, and reshaping the landscape of rock music as we know it. Today, we remember and honour him. Happy birthday, Richard Wright. Wet Dream Out Today To mark...

On An Island Re-Release (USA) Review

David Gilmour and Richard Wright performing at David’s 60th Birthday party. David Gilmour’s third solo album On An Island (OAI) was first released on his 60th birthday back on 6th March 2006. Indeed, he celebrated his 60th at Porchester Hall in London at which he performed some songs with his 2006 touring band before they went off to travel the world touring the new album. It is therefore slightly surprising that, less than 9 months later, the album is re-released! This time though with a separate bonus DVD. Naturally, Gilmour used the media to his advantage to publicise the first offering of OAI, the first solo effort for many years, which included magazine interviews, radio interviews and, of course, TV and the internet! One such event for the internet was the AOL Session he did in April 2006. These sessions, along with a performance from the Royal Albert Hall and...
