News has come our way of a new DVD to grace the Floyd fans shelves soon... a DVD follow up to the successful CD, "Pigs And Pyramids: An All Star Line Up Performing the Songs Of Pink Floyd", which goes under the same title (albeit ditching the "Pigs And Pyramids" bit).

To be released in the US on March 30th, and Europe around the same date, the DVD on the Cleopatra label features all the Floyd's best known songs, performed by the likes of Billy Sherwood, Dweezil Zappa, Glenn Hughes, Steve Lukather, Mike Porcano, Fee Waybill, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Levin, Ainsley Dunbar and Alan White. The DVD will be available from the normal sources, including Amazon and Floydstuff.com.

As part of the BBC's latest innovation (and a good one at that) to open up their archives of material, the local radio station BBC Radio London have made available a huge selection of interviews undertaken by their morning DJ Danny Baker. Baker is a very humourous chap and his interviews are always interesting.

Of particular interest though, is the interview with Gerald Scarfe from August 23rd 2002, that you can listen to through this link. It's a great listen and includes discussion of his work with Pink Floyd, including the sale of The Wall animation cels, with Baker trying to wind him up over the cost (and suggesting that they are "buy one, get one free"!). Currently, the interview will be available to hear indefinitely, but as plans may change on this, catch it while you can.

Brain Damage was contacted last night by Mark Fenwick, Roger's manager, who confirmed that Roger will not be performing in Malta on April 30th, but that Mark and Roger have agreed that in conjunction with Gert Hof’s Light & Firework extravaganza they can playback fifteen minutes of the recorded performance. This will take place at midnight and will be broadcast via the EBU (European Broadcasting Union).

Long running and well respected glossy music magazine, Q, has published the second of a three part special called "50 Years Of Rock'n'Roll" - the first part was covered on last month's news pages, and this time we look at the Floyd content of the issue that concentrates on the 1970's.
