Guy Pratt, bassist for David Gilmour, and for the post-1987 Pink Floyd (amongst many others), made his much anticipated return to the stage for a run at the legendary Edinburgh Festival this year. Due to the success of those shows (see description below), he has three further shows coming up this month: London's 20th Century Theatre on October 22nd, Manchester's Engine House (as part of the Manchester Comedy Festival) on October 23rd, and both of these are preceeded by a show at La Java in Paris, France, on October 13th. Tickets for all three are now available from normal agents.

It's 4am. The alarm is set for 5. You're in Belgrade... or possibly Buenos Aires. All these hotel rooms look the same... There's a noise coming from the bathroom and only a miniature of Baileys left in the mini bar. No worries you'll sleep on the plane. You hope to hell it's a travel day and that pile of ashes in the corner isn't your passport. Welcome to an average Wednesday in the life of a touring musician. 'Guy Pratt's Wake-up Call' is the next instalment of the bizarre, poignant and often hilarious life of a professional bassist told by a natural raconteur. You'll laugh. You'll cry, you'll probably sue.

Roger Waters' airing of The Wall Live at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, CA, on December 6th has been moved to December 7th. This is for logistical reasons, to accommodate the transfer and setup of the massive show production.

If you have tickets for December 6th, these will be valid for the 7th, but if you cannot make this revised date, refunds are available at point of purchase - please note that there is a deadline to get your refund, of November 5th. The promoters, Live Nation, have apologised for any inconvenience.

Two bits of news for you today relating to the current Roger Waters Wall tour, that's proving to be quite an incredible experience...

First, an additional night has been added to the European leg. The massive production is staying in the Czech Republic for a second show - April 16th, 2011 - at the O2 Arena in Prague . Tickets will be going on sale shortly through SazkaTicket.cz and other official agents, and we also believe there will be a RogerWaters.com presale for those already registered as interested in this city on that site.

Turning now to the US leg of the tour, additional tickets have been made available through Ticketmaster.com! We did a random check this morning of a number of upcoming concerts to find some excellent tickets now available for most (if not all) of the upcoming concerts... as an example, there were tickets in the 7th row at Nassau Coliseum up for grabs this morning, and other venues had similar available. Presumably they have now released tickets that were reserved for VIP packages but weren't sold. So, don't delay - visit Ticketmaster now to snap up some great seats!

Don't forget - we're updating each show page as and when we get concert reports, pictures, and other stuff, so visit our 2010 Wall Tour Zone to see what's happened at concerts so far, and if you've been (or going) to any of the shows, we'd love to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it !

For The Love of Vinyl, a celebration of the acclaimed design work of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell as commissioned by renowned musicians and bands of 1970's such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Yes, UFO, Peter Gabriel and 10cc, is moving to the Yellow Kite Gallery in Buckingham, England.

The free exhibition, running from Saturday October 9th daily until Saturday November 20th (closed between Wednesday October 27th to Monday November 1st inclusive), is a wonderful look at a range of iconic vinyl covers, a companion event to the superb book "For the Love of Vinyl" - the first book to document Hipgnosis output in detail, focusing on over 60 package designs – from cover to label – written about in entertaining detail by the men who created them. Also included in the book are short essays by musicians (such as Pink Floyd's Nick Mason), artists (Peter Blake) and fellow designers (Paula Scher) on their favourite covers.

Storm said: "The one great advantage in designing album covers is that one is not enslaved to product, no need to show LPs or CDs - that's too boring. Instead one can interpret the music and the emotional preoccupations of the musicians. Hence the designer can be freely imaginative, and sometimes get away with blue murder."

The pictures especially chosen for this exhibition represent some of Hipgnosis' best known work from the 1960's, '70s and '80s, and are all available to purchase. We were at the launch evening of the recent London outing of this show (which showed off the new "Liquid Dark Side Of The Moon" image to the left) and the exclusive pictures which follow give an idea what visitors to Buckingham will see...
