Liverpool icon and satirist John Gorman has written and directed the new touring version of Dean Johnson’s Wilfred Owen musical, Bullets And Daffodils. The ex-Scaffold and Tiswas frontman joins a long line of illustrious contributors such as actor Christopher Timothy and guitar legend David Gilmour. The Pink Floyd guitarist has granted permission for a solo recording to be used as part of the show’s score. Dean says, “Mr Gilmour wanted to do everything he could do to help and sanctioned the track There’s No Way Out Of Here gratis and waivering the licence and publishing fees, so it was in every sense a donation.” John Gorman has been on board since day one of this project.

Mark Fisher, who has worked with Pink Floyd over the years on their stage designs, will be designing the stage for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations concert. Mark has also done stages for U2, Robbie Williams and The Rolling Stones. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16925230 Below is an artist’s impression of what the stage will look like on the Mall at the Victoria Memorial fountain in front of Buckingham Palace in London, England.

A video has appeared on YouTube by someone who managed to get a helicopter in the air and obtain aerial footage. Nobody is dead yet but I heard someone has been spat at. The wall looks likely to greet other cities with the same derision and mockery!
