Our thanks to Roger Waters' manager Mark Fenwick for sending us the press release this morning confirming Roger's appearance at the Countryside Alliance's Whip Craic concert at the Royal Albert Hall, on October 16th 2002. [Edited to remove link to press release - by official request] The press release reveals what Roger will be performing (including the Overture of Ca Ira!), together with his reasons for appearing.

Last night's Johnnie Walker interview with David Gilmour (on BBC Radio 2 in the UK) was well worth catching. Apart from a nice acoustic version of "Fat Old Sun" and his new song "Smile", David gave a relaxed interview, confirming the release of a new album next year (solo, not Pink Floyd), accompanied by a tour - as first mentioned on this site some months ago! A transcription of the interview will be on this site soon...

David Gilmour will be appearing live on Friday (September 27th) on the Johnnie Walker Drivetime Show, on BBC Radio 2. He will be talking about his new DVD and will be playing live on Johnnie's show.

Visit the Johnnie Walker part of the Radio 2 website to submit your questions for David - no guarantees he will answer any of them but worth a try! Tune in this Friday between 5pm - 7pm GMT, either via the airwaves or by listening live online at the BBC website.

Thanks to Kees Nijpels, our DVD release spotter, for the news that PULSE is finally getting its first release on DVD.

At present it seems to be only being released in Japan; the catalogue number is TOBW-3069, it comes on two discs, the price is 5800 Yen (or 47.23 US Dollars), and is scheduled for release on November 27th. Hopefully it should be released in other regions as well, soon. More news on this hotly awaited title as we get it.
