Davids Radio appearences

Post by thrill-seeker »

DAVID GILMOUR'S ON AN ISLAND - ANOTHER RADIO PERFORMANCE!

With David Gilmour's new album, On An Island, arriving in just seven days (it hits the stores on March 6th in the UK and Europe, and March 7th in the US), we have news of yet another special performance on the BBC, along with a general radio update and schedule.

First off, David will be appearing with fellow guitarist Phil Manzanera on Jonathan Ross's Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 2, on March 4th. The show runs from 10am GMT until 1pm, and promises a live performance from David and Phil.

BBC Radio 2 can be heard in the UK (and in some parts of Europe) via FM or DAB radios, via satellite, cable and freeview TV systems. Listeners worldwide can tune in via the excellent Listen Live/Listen Again facilities at http://www.BBC.co.uk/radio2.

Radio stations across the world are stepping up efforts to be first to broadcast David's new album in full. We recently reported on Chez 106 broadcasting the album alongside a fascinating interview with David (which is being repeated on Q107).

We've now heard that Ontario based station KROCK 1057 will be airing the album on Thursday, March 2nd, at 10pm. However, they aren't the latest to throw their hat into the ring. Portuguese radio station RFM are broadcasting the whole of the album between 11pm CET and midnight, on the same day (March 2nd). This means RFM are currently the ones ahead of the pack! Thanks to Nuno Miguel Gil Fonseca for this info...


FORTHCOMING BBC INTERVIEW WITH DAVID GILMOUR

A bit of advance notice for you - on Thursday, 2nd March, BBC Radio 4's "Front Row" programme features an interview with David Gilmour about his forthcoming album, "On An Island" which is released on 6th March.

The programme takes a look at his new work, and his past work with Pink Floyd, courtesy of interviewer John Wilson. It is scheduled to start at 7:15pm GMT. BBC Radio 4 can be heard on FM and DAB radio, digital cable, satellite and freeview, and via the BBC website where they have the excellent "Listen Live" and "Listen Again" facilities, allowing you to hear the broadcasts for up to seven days following transmission.

Elsewhere on the airwaves, BBC World's White Label programme have reviewed On An Island. They played an excerpt from Money, and from the album, they played On An Island, Take A Breath and Pocketful Of Stones. You can listen to the programme through this link but be aware that it will change at 9:32am GMT on Tuesday - so be quick!

Our thanks to David Haddock for the Front Row news, and to Nawaz Ali Hajiani from the FloydArtifacts discussion group for the White Label news.



Here's a list of all forthcoming shows with Gilmour on it :

March 2nd - BBC Radio 4, 7:15pm GMT
