Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

Wall tour guitarist Dave Kilminster playing upcoming US dates Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Wednesday, 29 December 2010

Guitarist Dave Kilminster, currently touring with Roger Waters "The Wall Live" which has just finished a 56-date run in North America, is to play some special US dates in early 2011 with vocalist extraordinaire Murray Hockridge, whose emotive, soulful voice spans an incredible three and a half octaves.

Clearly not relishing the break that the Wall tour is taking (it restarts on March 21st in Portugal) Dave and Murray will be performing music from their forthcoming album 'Closer To Earth', a collection of vocal and acoustic guitar interpretations of 11 rock and soul classics. The live sets will also include original material from both artistes' repertoires.

The preliminary dates (there are more to be added) are as follows:

  • Friday 28 January - KJ Farrell's, Bellmore, NY
    A double-bill also featuring the popular Wonderous-Stories in one of the newest and best clubs on Long Island
  • Saturday, 29 January - Havana, New Hope, Pennsylvania
    This will be a late afternoon (5pm) show – mark your calendars to see Kilminster's guitar work up close and hear the vocals of Murray Hockridge in a club that has become a showcase for performers
  • Look for a special return to KJ Farrell's with Kenny Forgione in a unique and unusual setting
  • Wednesday, 2 February - BB King's, NYC in a double bill with Wonderous Stories
    BB King's is a NYC favourite – featuring music of all kinds. Fans of Dave Kilminster will remember seeing him in the US with Keith Emerson playing at the club at both Moogfest and with the Keith Emerson Band. Wonderous Stories remains one of the club's guaranteed sell-outs, so get your tickets early when they go on sale. The atmosphere is great and the music will be tremendous and full of surprises.

Learn more about Dave Kilminster and Murray Hockridge at www.davekilminster.com and www.murrayhockridge.com. You can see clips of their live performance at www.hockridge-kilminster.com.

Finally, the following video, shot during the tour of the Wall for D'addario strings includes Dave talking about his solo work and his meeting/music with Murray Hockridge.
