Last night, the 49th Grammy Awards nominees were announced, and amongst
those in the running is David Gilmour. He has received a nomination for
Best Rock Instrumental Performance for Castellorizon, the first track
on his 2006 album "On An Island".
A number of you will recall that David plays guitar on the Alan Parsons
album "A Valid Path", and this too has been nominated, as Best Surround
Sound Album.
The 49th Grammy Awards ceremony will be held on February 11th, at
Staples Center in Los Angeles, and will be broadcast live in the US in
high definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS from 8 - 11:30pm ET/PT.
David is amongst a large group of British performers who have been
nominated, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sting, UB40, and James Blunt,
who is up for five awards. Neil Young and Bob Dylan, favourites of Pink
Floyd band members, both have a number of nominations as well.
David's nomination is in category 19, and he is up against the Arctic
Monkeys (Chin Li's Flying Bird Kick), The Flaming Lips (The Wizard
Turns On...), Peter Frampton (Black Hole Sun), and Joe Satriani (Super
Colossal). Interestingly enough, the official nomination for David
misspells the track as "Catsellorizon"!
Alan's nomination is in category 93 (out of a total of 108
categories... as you can see, the Awards cover a LOT of ground!) and he
is competing with Tony Papa, Elliot Scheiner, Martin Walters, and
Morten Lindberg & Hans Peter L'Orange.
