BBC Two Front Row

This coming Saturday (28th October) the UK's BBC Two television show, Front Row (airing at 7:30pm), is being presented by Cambridge classicist Mary Beard. During the show, Mary will be speaking to David Gilmour about his recent film Live at Pompeii, which documents the first ever rock concert for an audience in the historic site, before David performs A Boat Lies Waiting, live in the studio.

Beard, the well-known Cambridge classicist, will visit The Roman Singularity exhibition at the Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, explore the work of architectural designer, Adam Nathaniel Furman - who has created a city of 3-D printed models celebrating Rome - and review Jean-René Lemione’s startling contemporary reimagining of Greek legend Medea, which has been translated to English and directed by Neil Bartlett, alongside the interview and performance by David.

For more details of the show, which starts at 7:30pm (UK time), visit www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09dc8jp, which will also have the episode available to view, on demand, for 30 days following broadcast.

 
Guy Pratt - the Inglorious Bassterd heads to Switzerland Print E-mail

Guy Pratt is the Inglorious Bassterd - Basel, Switzerland, October 30th 2017

Our friends in Switzerland have a great show coming up in just over a week... Guy Pratt is bringing his current one-man show - Inglorious Bassterd - to Basel on Monday, October 30th.

As many of you will know, Guy has been a crucial member of the rhythm section of artists such as Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Robert Palmer, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Jimmy Page, David Coverdale, Womack & Womack, and The Smiths.

And when he's not been parading his talents live on the stages of every stadium, concert hall and festival around the world, he has been a favourite studio bassist and accompanying singer for major recording artists including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop,The Pretenders, Echo and The Bunnymen and McFly.

His one man show is all about life at the pointy end of the music business; Guy regales audiences with stories from behind the scenes. His self-deprecating wit is irresistible and his rip-roaring anecdotes are brilliant and outrageous. This is an evening which is both funny and frank with enough insider's references to satisfy even aficionados – and he'll be bringing his beloved vintage Fender bass to demonstrate his craft.

Tickets are on sale now for this exclusive one-off show, which is the first International Comedy Club presentation at Theater Fauteuil in Basel, in English. You can get them via Fauteuil.showare.ch now; it's a show we heartily recommend!

Pink Floyd 'Shine On' at Lucy Bell Gallery

With The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains now finished in London, and being deconstructed ready for relocation to another location hopefully announced shortly, those in the south-east of England have an alternative to get their Floyd fix.

Rockarchive.com has collaborated with the Lucy Bell Gallery in St Leonards on Sea to create 'Shine On', an exhibition which showcases some 37 rare and iconic photographs from Pink Floyd's remarkable career taken by some of the world's greatest music photographers, including Andrew Whittuck, Jill Furmanovsky, Colin Prime, Tony Collins, Mick Rock and Storm Thorgerson.

From band's earliest photo shoots in Ruskin Park and Hampstead, to the recording studio at Abbey Road and on the road during the Dark Side of The Moon Tour, the 'Shine On' exhibition includes these and other classic images that capture the band's energy and unique, eclectic style both on and off stage. The exhibition also features alternative album artwork and other prints by the late, great graphic artist Storm Thorgerson, whose designs are considered an inseparable part of their work.

The exhibition at this fairly small but very enthusiastic gallery runs until November 4th, and entrance is free. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am-4pm, or by appointment. For more details, including directions, visit Lucy-Bell.com.
