David Gilmour New Album 2024 Work in Progress

David Gilmour New Album 2024 continues to be worked on well up to Christmas! Lyricist Polly Samson has shared some more excellent photos of David Gilmour at work in the recording studio working on his forthcoming 2024 new album. Looking at all the photos that have been posted, there is a David Gilmour band coming together with some old and new faces alike. We know about Guy Pratt on bass and Roger Eno on Piano, both worked on Gilmour’s previous album. But now we have a couple of new faces. New to me anyway. Adam Betts is on drums. He has played with the likes of Jarvis Cocker from Pulp and Pete Tong. Tom Herbert is on bass. He plays the double bass and electric bass. There is no use making a new album if you are not going to do a tour too. I can’t wait to hear there...

Syd Barrett: The Man Beyond the Myth, with his Sister Rosemary

The Fingal’s Cave Podcast recently granted us a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of the enigmatic Syd Barrett through a personal interview with his sister, Rosemary Breen. The hour-long session delved into a multitude of topics, unravelling some of the mystery that has long shrouded her brother. Its a great interview about Syd Barrett and his story and not to be missed. Syd Barrett the Artist Rosemary painted a picture of Syd not as the quintessential rock star many might assume, but as an artist at his core. “Music was a hobby, the art was him,” she explained, driving home the point that for Barrett, celebrity was an alien concept, something he neither sought after nor understood. Rosemary suggested, “He never wanted celebrity, he didn’t understand it”. Syd’s interactions with music and sound were personal explorations of art, not attempts to top the charts or bask in the...
