Early, pre-sale tickets for Roger Waters 2010 tour of The Wall in North America later this year have sold strongly, and an additional performance in San Jose, California has been scheduled for December 8th, 2010. We've added this new date into our 2010 Wall Tour Zone, which has details of each show.

The general sale of tickets begins on the morning of Monday (May 10th) and we expect demand to be very high. Make sure you are ready to hit Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca when the fun starts! Each ticket sale made after using our links to these sites gives a small but vital amount towards our considerable running costs, which keeps the site going, and doesn't cost you any extra: the easiest and cheapest way to help us! Our thanks to all those who have already done this - you make a real difference, and we really appreciate it.

Finally, a new promo video has been released by promoters Live Nation, which partly uses Roger's interview with Jim Ladd, along with archive footage from the original Wall shows, and shots of the current preparations for the 2010 concerts (including brick impact testing!). Check it out here, or on our Facebook page.

Fresh from the Buenos Aires concert Guy Pratt, Durga McBroom and Jon Carin guested at last month, to much acclaim (check out our YouTube channel for a taster), Guy is performing some concerts next week around Europe.

Playing bass for the well-respected Dominic Miller Quartet, Guy and the band can be seen at Paris's Sunside on May 10th and 11th, the Domicil in Dortmund on May 13th, the Great Guild Hall in Riga on May 15th, and St Catherine Church in Vilnius on May 17th.

Guy also tells us that he'll be performing an all-new standup show in this year's Edinburgh Festival. More details on that as we get them - we know that many of you are eager to catch the show having heard such good things about his previous outings!

Tickets for the 2010 tour of The Wall by Roger Waters went predictably like the proverbial hot cakes when the first of the presales started! Those with US American Express cards were able to get their tickets early, but as with all presales, only a percentage of each venue's tickets are allocated for these. For those who've been lucky enough to get a RogerWaters.com presale email (and we know MANY of you were very disappointed not to get one for any of their chosen locations), those tickets go on sale today, and tomorrow is the new date for those getting an iTunes presale password after purchasing The Wall there.

For everyone else, the big day is next Monday, May 10th, when the general sale of tickets starts. We predict that all the shows will be sold out by the end of the day, and in many cases, at some point in the morning. So, whichever sale you are participating in, the best of luck in securing your seats, and let us know on our Facebook page how you got on, and your thoughts on the ticketing process this time around.

Finally, if you are buying tickets for these shows, please remember to use our links to Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca. Each ticket sale made after using these links gives a small but vital amount towards our considerable running costs, which keeps the site going, and doesn't cost you any extra: the easiest and cheapest way to help us, and we really appreciate it!

BBC Radio 2's Radcliffe and Maconie Show on Monday, May 10th, includes Mark and Stuart interviewing former Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner, who remembers the band's founding member Syd Barrett, while a live session from Robyn Hitchcock includes a Syd Barrett track. Jenner, along with Andrew King, headed Blackhill Enterprises who were the Floyd's first management team, parting company with the band when Syd left in 1968. Blackhill employee Steve O'Rourke took over as manager and held the role for over three decades. It should be an interesting interview with the band's early boss, as the show's hosts have tended to be intelligent and insightful hosts in previous Floyd-related shows.

The show airs between 8pm-10pm BST (GMT+1hr). BBC Radio 2 can be heard on DAB and FM radio, via Freeview, Sky satellite and Virgin Media cable, and via www.BBC.co.uk/radio2, which will allow listeners around the world to tune in. The BBC's iPlayer service (at their website, and on Virgin Media) will allow listening on demand for seven days from the date of broadcast, principally for those in the UK, but this does also work in some other countries.
