View Beautiful David Gilmour 2015 Tour Venues

David Gilmour’s 2015 Tour of Europe sold out pretty much instantly after going on sale at 10am 6th March to coincide with David’s 69th birthday.

The iconic Earls Court, where Pink Floyd have performed 27 times, is to be knocked down to make way for new development. This was the last concert to be performed at the venue so it was quite fitting that David joined the final performance there.

The Syd Barrett Art Exhibition at Idea Generation gallery in London is set to open tomorrow to co-incide with the release of the most excellent of books Barrett. You can read NPF very own Barrett book review. The exhibition includes origina Syd Barrett paintings that you can see – lucky that he didn’t destroy them all in his later years. You can see letters he wrote to girlfriends of the past which include all sorts of odd drawings and characters.
