The Dutch Wharf Festival (Festival Aan De Werf), to be held in Utrecht, Netherlands from May 20th to 29th, includes a show called Reiziger In Space. The show takes place on May 20th and 21st, at 9:30pm.

Han Reiziger is a long time editor for VPRO, who have recorded many of Pink Floyd's shows in the past, including the notorious Concertgebouw concert of September 17th 1969. He will discuss the Sixties with Spinvis mainman Erik De Jong. Their on stage conversation will be supported by exclusive video material of acts like Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Soft Machine, Canned Heat, Deep Purple, The Monk, and most importantly, Pink Floyd, as well as other rarities from the VPRO archives.

The exact nature of the rare footage is unknown at the moment, and the official festival site gives no clues. However, our friend Charles from the great FloydStuff.com (the best place to buy your Floyd rarities!) will be attending and has offered us a review of the event. Thanks Charles!

The great photographer Robert Ellis has just made a great set of pictures of Roger Waters live at Earls Court in 1984, available to buy via his website, Repfoto.com. Robert has a long history of taking great concert pictures, and this newly released set pictures Roger, Eric Clapton, and the rest of the band in action in London as part of the Pros & Cons Of HitchHiking tour.

Further to previous news items about the French Crossroads Guitar Festival, we have been made aware of fresh claims that David Gilmour will be appearing at the show in Paris, next month.

To clear the matter up, we spoke with Pink Floyd Management (formerly known as EMKA) this afternoon. After speaking with David himself, they confirmed that David is definitely NOT appearing at the show, despite claims to the contrary. This situation will not change, so if you see fresh claims that he will appear, please ignore them! We have also had confirmation from the Olympia in Paris that David is not appearing as part of the line-up.

Our thanks to PFM for their help in clarifying this matter.

Despite recent announcements that the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Paris includes David Gilmour making an appearance as part of the show, we are now getting information through that this may not be the case.

The concert, on June 18th 2004, is being held at the Olympia Bruno Coquatrix, and the four hour show was announced with the news of Gilmour appearing on, amongst other European websites, americana-uk.com and MusikExpress in Germany, and David's appearance is also mentioned on the Crossroad's website.
