A couple of days ago
we announced who will be playing sax on the David Gilmour "On An
Island" tour. Pink Floyd's legendary sax player Dick Parry is the one,
playing the parts that David himself performs on the album, and no
doubt on some Floyd classics. He is currently touring with the Violent
Femmes, and we have details of where you can catch him prior to the
Gilmour shows.

Dick Parry with David Gilmour |
Dick Parry played the famous sax
solos on Money and Us and Them from 'Dark Side Of The Moon' and Shine
On You Crazy Diamond from 'Wish You Were Here'.
A session musician who
has worked with the likes of John Entwistle and Rory Gallagher, Dick
has been a friend of David's since childhood and toured with Pink Floyd
during the Seventies.
Dick gave up playing the
saxophone and became a farrier, yet David managed to convince him to
record and tour 1994's 'Division Bell' album.
Since then, he has played
with David in Paris and London in 2001 and 2002, and also played his
part in the famous Pink Floyd reunion for Live 8 last July.
Dick is currently on the road
with Violent Femmes, and Brian Ritchie, who formed the band in 1980,
got in contact with us with the dates that Dick will be playing with
them, as part of the Horns Of Dilemma, on the run up to his work with
David Gilmour.
You can catch the Violent Femmes in the following places:
- Feb 17th Principal Club, Thessaloniki, Greece
- Feb 18th Club 22, Athens, Greece
- Feb 19th Club 22, Athens, Greece
