In the UK newspaper the Daily Mail today, Roger Waters reveals a little about the upcoming stage musical based on The Wall.
Roger has been working on the musical for a while, and he suggested that it would perhaps debut late 2009, possibly in New York although London isn't ruled out. "It's got to be solid, so it takes time," Waters told the Mail. They noted that Roger is writing a new number, "a love song with a bit of romance in it", to add to those from the 1979 album.
"I'm going to use Have A Cigar and Money from the Pink Floyd days, and then it's all about structuring them so they serve the piece well," Waters explained. "We'll have a few jokes and a bit of humour. It's not just a case of transplanting the album onto the stage. It's a new piece - a new show, not a catalogue musical," he insisted.

Monday night (November 5th) saw the third annual Classic Rock Roll Of Honour, Classic Rock magazine's prestigious awards show, held at London's Landmark Hotel. Honouring legends of the rock world, the event was a star-studded affair, and even included recognition for a long-term, key member of the Pink Floyd team.
In keeping with Classic Rock's commitment to honouring the often-overlooked stars of the rock world, Nick Mason took to the stage to honour long-term collaborator and artistic genius Storm Thorgerson with an Outstanding Contribution award. Our congratulations to Storm for this much-deserved award!

 Aspiring musicians or key concert personnel, who have some disposable income and are available on February 15th - 18th 2008 might be tempted to take part in the latest Rock'n'Roll Fantasy Camp. Being held in Hollywood, California, the event gives the unique opportunity to share the House Of Blues stage with legends of rock. You live and breathe the music business in this residential course.
Amongst the stars taking part in the Hollywood camp is none other than our very own Nick Mason! So if you fancy playing along to Nick's signature drumming, whilst alongside you are the likes of Brian Wilson and Micky Dolenz, or operating the lights, mixing the sound (or even humping the equipment around!) check out www.RockCamp.com for more details.

Quite remarkably it is twenty years since the release of Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, the band's first since the departure of Roger Waters. Highly respected US radio show In The Studio will be airing their 1987 AMLOR special, featuring David Gilmour and Nick Mason talking about the album's creation, this week. Visit www.InTheStudio.net for details of the many radio stations which carry the syndicated show. (Thanks to Terrence Reardon for the tip-off!)

 As many of you are aware, there are Pink Floyd tribute bands and shows across the world, bringing good music (played with varying degrees of success!) to local pubs, clubs, halls and even major arenas. With the sheer number of them, it is impossible to provide coverage of these bands, but occasionally there are rare exceptions.
We know that many of you hugely enjoy the Australian Pink Floyd show, and they have today announced a major tour of the UK for 2008. This features their new show, promising to be bigger and more ambitious than ever before, offering "The Best of The Wall".
