Posted this afternoon by the Pink Floyd Facebook account is some news of an upcoming television show that might be of interest.

They note: "US TV crime series Cold Case occasionally creates themed episodes featuring songs from one artist and in March it will be Pink Floyd's turn. Broadcast in the US at 9PM on Sunday March 14th, the episode will include extracts of seven songs: Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Mother, Marooned, Wish You Were Here, Time and The Thin Ice. Please check local listings for broadcasts outside of US."

Songs played in each episode generally come from the year the crime took place, with some notable exceptions where the soundtrack features a particular artist or theme instead of a year - as with the upcoming Pink Floyd episode. Other single artist shows have focused on the music of Frank Sinatra, Nirvana, U2, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen.

The show is aired in the US on CBS, and in selected countries (including the UK, the Netherlands, Argentina, Chile, Hungary and Spain). Our thanks to Bill Haun and James for the info.

In around six weeks time, a group of Syd Barrett fans and associates of Escape Artists will be walking from London to Cambridge to raise money for the Syd Barrett Fund - a distance of some 60 miles. When Syd left London and returned home to Cambridge at the beginning of the eighties he decided to walk the whole way, and over the Easter weekend the Syd Barrett Memorial Walk will take place.

The challenge will begin at the Roundhouse in Camden, a venue Syd played with Pink Floyd in the mid 60s, and his sister Rosemary, founder of the Fund, has good memories of seeing him perform there. She also explains the background to one of the key places in Cambridge the walkers are heading for.

"While in London during the 60s it was very exciting because Syd was there too and that's when it all took off. I remember going to see him at The Roundhouse and having a great time."

Bryan Ferry has this evening revealed via his newsletter that David Gilmour was at Hugh Padgham's studio in West London last week, adding his talents to Bryan's upcoming, and as yet untitled, solo album [see thumbnail, right].

In 1985 David famously played on Ferry's album 'Boys and Girls', the single 'Is Your Love Strong Enough' and later that year on stage at Live Aid in London. He is added to the impressive list of musicians who have played on the new record, which include Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist (and sometime Thom Yorke sideman) Flea. He is also enlisting the services of Chic's legendary Nile Rodgers.

The album is currently due for release in May 2010, and we will bring you more information as it becomes available...
