The current issue of the UK's Guitarist magazine (issue 444) will be of interest to many of you, whether or not you actually play the instrument. As you may have guessed from the cover image (click the thumbnail to see it in more detail) the magazine features as its key article, a nicely illustrated 14 page look at the upcoming David Gilmour guitar auction.
As you are sure to know by now, the auction, at Christie's New York in June, will see some 120+ of David's instruments being sold off. Guitarist chat with David about his motives with this sale, ask him about some of his favourites which are going, and about which guitars he just couldn't part with - and why.
There's also a close look at a number of the key guitars in the auction, with some fascinating background. They look at the provenance of the instruments, and talk about the alterations that some of them have had to fit David's playing preferences.
The magazine also comes with a free supplement exploring the world of vintage guitars, whether or not you will be trying your best to successful bid on one of David's guitars in three month's time!
You can order this magazine online, worldwide, through this direct link to the publisher's own eStore. Alternatively, if you are in London this week to view David's guitars at Christie's London HQ, certain stores and newsagents will have the magazine on their shelves.

Last month, we mentioned that the follow-up, fully updated second edition of Charles Beterams' incredible Pink Floyd On Forty-Five was coming close to completion. The new edition of his book, a limited and numbered edition of 500 copies in a deluxe clothbound
hardcover, running to some 260 pages and well over 1200 pictures in full colour, now has a confirmed publication date of April 12th.
The book is the definitive discography of Pink Floyd 7 inch singles. With the help of the world's foremost Floyd singles collectors, Charles has compiled a simply breathtaking book
that sets the standard. Apart from entries on releases from countries such as Angola, Costa Rica, Egypt, Jamaica, Kenia, Nigeria, The Philippines and Turkey, Pink Floyd On Forty-Five also features extensive discographies of 7 inch singles from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and the USA.
The core of the book consists of 7inch singles that ended up in public, either via the regular route of shops (stock copies) or via record companies to radio stations and journalists (promotional copies). These are brought together in separate chapters per country, starting with Pink Floyd, and followed by Syd Barrett, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright singles, all of them in chronological order, complete with release notes and details. Pink Floyd On Forty-Five concludes with a selection of test pressings and acetates.
Pink Floyd On Forty-Five is available for pre-orders
now, through Floydstuff.com, the ONLY place to get hold of it, unless you are visiting the 51st Mega Record & CD Fair in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Whichever way you get it, we are certain it will be just as highly recommended as the first edition!

 A highlight last September for a number of people was the show performed by Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets at London's Roundhouse - a venue that Pink Floyd played in on a number of occasions in the earlier days of the band. When it was announced that, following the Saucers' jaunt to the US and Canada this and next month, they'd be doing a handful of UK shows with two night's at the Roundhouse, it got a lot of people keen to experience it themselves. Naturally, tickets sold quickly for these shows, leaving many people disappointed. However, we have some good news for you... Some additional, standing tickets for the first of the two shows there (May 3rd), both of which include support by McNally Waters (the Waters in question being Harry, Roger's son, who many of you would have seen on Roger's Wall and Dark Side tours), have been released. This is due to the show production requirements having been determined for this gig. You can snap them up, while they last, via this direct link at Seetickets.com. |

Well, so soon after adding a couple of dates to Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2019 tour - in Prague and Warsaw - the band have added yet another to the busy July schedule! The extra show is being held at the historic Teatro Antico in Taormina, on the Italian island of Sicily.
With this 3rd century BC Greek venue being an amphitheatre, boasting views behind the stage of Mount Etna, it promises to be a spectacular venue to catch Nick and his excellent band in action:
Tickets for this additional show go on sale on Friday (22nd March) at 10am CET, through www.Ticketmaster.it.
As normal, to go with all the other shows the band are playing, we have been busy setting up a dedicated page for this concert which, with your assistance, will have all sorts of useful information, pictures, reviews and more. The pages can be found in the Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2019 Tour Zone which has details of ALL the shows on this year's tour, that have been announced so far.
To cover regular email questions we are getting, if other dates/locations are revealed, then we will bring you the good news.

Clearly enjoying life on the road, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have added another couple of shows to their 2019 tour - one indoor, one outdoor. The extra shows sit at the end of the current schedule, and take the band to Poland and the Czech Republic.
Fans in those countries will now be able to catch the Saucers at the following gigs:
Tickets for these new shows have just gone on sale - midday local time - to coincide with the announcement, and are available NOW. The Warsaw show is part of the Summer Fog Festival, as you can see from the rather nice poster shown here (click the thumbnail to see it in better detail and colour).
