Pink Floyd fans in Australia who fancy seeing something a bit different next month, and perhaps with Roger Waters' recent comments about classical music in the interesting BBC documentary, in their minds, have got a night out to consider.

With the first show in exactly six weeks time, David Gilmour has revealed the band who will be accompanying him on his On An Island tour - and a superb line-up it is too.

The tour is to support his new album, which is released on March 6th. The tour, David’s first since the record-breaking 1994 Pink Floyd Division Bell tour, starts in Hamburg on March 10th, goes to North America in April and returns to the UK at the end of May.

Firstly, our hearty best wishes to Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, who celebrates his 62nd birthday today. Congratulations Nick - and many happy returns! Nick will no doubt be spending part of his birthday preparing for his trip to Germany, to continue the promotion of his wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd".

The article shown in this news story, published in the UK's Daily Star newspaper this week, has thrown Pink Floyd fans into a frenzy. The story asserts that Pink Floyd, with Roger Waters, are to perform two weeks at the Royal Albert Hall in October/November this year. The story was also picked up on the UK's Virgin Radio, and Italian radio has been talking about very little else since the story appeared!
