Pink Floyd backing vocalist Lorelei McBroom will be joining the much respected Aussie Floyd for their upcoming Exposed In The Light tour dates across Europe and the UK. Having toured with Pink Floyd on their Momentary Lapse of Reason and Delicate Sound of Thunder tours, Lorelei also appeared in Pink Floyd's music videos for The Dogs of War, On The Turning Away and the "Pink Floyd Live In Venice" TV broadcast.
She first performed with them in the US and Canada as part of their Greatest Hits tour. Audiences in California received an extra surprise when Lorelei was joined by her sister (and fellow Floyd backing vocalist) Durga McBroom for a performance of The Great Gig In The Sky. When asked about the opportunity to tour with Aussie Floyd, Lorelei said: "I adore the music of Pink Floyd and I'm overjoyed to have a chance to sing their songs again with The Aussie Pink Floyd; the best tribute band in the world".
Tickets for the UK dates are now available through this direct link to Ticketmaster.

The 2012 Roger Waters The Wall Live tour increases ever more, with the addition this evening of a show, being held on April 27th, 2012, at Foro Sol in Mexico City. For this show, a special new design of the tour poster has been designed (click thumbnail to the left), and it's a lovely change to the design we all know and love.
Gone is the screaming face, and now we have hammers smashing their way through The Wall, and the plane flying away, keeping well clear of the brickwork for a change.
The RogerWaters.com presales begin soon, with advance tickets available to those who had registered their interest in particular cities. The regular presales start on November 28th/29th through Ticketmaster.com.mx. General sale tickets will go on sale shortly after (exact dates and outlets can be found via Roger's website).

The 2012 Roger Waters The Wall Live tour is gathering dates nicely - it's now up to 67 shows between January 27th, when the tour starts in Perth, Australia, and July 14th, when the tour concludes in Philadelphia, PA, USA. This is due to the addition of a second night at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, in Alberta, Canada, on May 29th.
Tickets for this show go on sale next Monday, November 21st, at 10am MST through this direct link to Ticketmaster Canada. Obviously, if any other dates get added for any other location, we will let you know, and to reiterate, there are currently no plans for any shows in Europe or other countries or cities that haven't been included in the existing schedule.

Thursday evening, the Idea Generation gallery in London moved closer to the conclusion of its hosting of the StormStudios exhibition Big And Small (our review of the opening night can be read here), with a very special invitation-only event attended by a select few. The evening was staged as a launch event for the new book which takes in the album (and related) graphics created by our friend Storm Thorgerson and his team over the past four years.
The Raging Storm, more on which is below, is a beautiful, large format tome which no home should be without - our review is on its way, but suffice it to say that there's some wonderful new and previously unseen Pink Floyd imagery within its pages, alongside recent work for a number of other artists.
The launch event saw a number of familiar faces attending, including Jenny Spires, and the man who provided the very first Floyd album cover - Vic Singh. We chatted at length with Vic, who revealed that he is just as busy with photography these days, working on a major new project. The massed ranks of StormStudios were also all there, and various conversations were had over the course of the evening.
