Auditorium Parco della Musica
Rome’s Parco della Musica is a vast multi-function music complex where three large concert halls, each with different capacities (2,800, 1,200, and 700 seats) are separated, yet joined at the base by a continuous lobby.
The fan shaped layout is formed around the central piazza, with lush greenery all around it.
Each of these structures, structurally separated for sound-proofing, are built of red Roman brick with lead rooves.
There is also a fourth concert hall, an open-air amphitheatre for 3,000 people.
The 2,800-seat concert hall, known as Sala Santa Cecilia, is intended for symphony concerts, with room for both an orchestra and choir. This is where David and his band will be performing. As you can see from the picture, the central stage guarantees perfect visibility, as well as natural acoustics.
If you will be in attendance on 26 March, then do let us know. We are confident that you will have a splendid time and look forward to hearing all about it.
Please note that the Mermaid Theatre competition is now closed. Winners are listed in the previous entry.
Only a week until the release. I am having a listening party next weekend, with corned beef and cabbage, chicken and Guiness, as well as other beverages. Only about a month until the chicago show. I cant wait!!!!! How about flying in for a few Pints, F.E? Just a short trek from the Windy city. Green is the Colour, and Guiness is the beer!!! Cory
[Cheers, Cory. Have a great time. - Features Editor]
looks very grand indeed.
Great track featured today, ‘This Heaven’. Very obvious that he is so much more comfortable with singing and playing on this solo album than on his past ones. ‘This Heaven’ is great. Very different from anything else I’ve heard from him.
I’m getting quite antsy waiting for this album. I’ve already pre-ordered it but because that probably won’t arrive until 5 days after it’s release here in the states I have to go out and buy one on the 7th, thinking I’m going to miss out on something if I wait a few extra days, which I will. ramble ramble. bye bye
This is For John and son, and Roofer Rudders. My friend purchased a bunch of tickets for the show and invited me along. They know my adoration for DG and PF. I thank them for the invite. We’re renting a limo to celebrate and will be in Toronto. Time is unspecified right now. Just meet at the HRC, and catch the show later. That makes 3 so far. Anyone else care to join? Leave a post. Thanks. I will be wearing a brown jacket that my wife bought for moi at Christmas. This is a similar jacket David wears on the About Face album Tour at Massey in 1984. I was there for two shows. How ironic is that?
I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to listen to the song “On An Island” in advance of the albums release. However, I have been holding off from listening to the rest of the audio/video clips so I can experience the album fresh in it’s entirety as soon as I purchase it on the release date. I plan to listen to it from start to finish as a complete piece.
So, I was wondering if it will be possible to still get the videos that are now being previewed on the David Gilmour website after the release date? Does anyone know? Or will they at least be available on DVD sometime? I would love to see them but I just want to wait until after I hear the album first in it’s entirety instead of short clips.
Cheers, and thanks Dave!!!
[Good thinking, Tony. Will have a word with our webmaster about that. - Features Editor]
Can it be true that my name appears on the list of winners? I am speechless. Something like this has never happened to me before and I am scared.And excited. Are there two Ian Pearsons? And is Matt Pearson who I dont know a long lost relation???????????
I am away tomorrow early 4am to Manchester and not back til midnight Sunday will I get confirmation before end of day today.
[You're a winner, Ian! Your e-mail will be with you soon, if you haven't got it already. Hope you enjoy. - Features Editor]
After being chilled out in the company of Snowy White last night I am now a lot calmer. Great website but I was very annoyed yesterday over the competition. It was not aimed at ‘earlybird’ readers. At the very least I would like to be put on a reserve list for any tickets for the Mermaid that are not taken. I do not own a mobile but you can email me anytime.
Ta!
Very happy bunny indeed.
I had just finished watching the Classic Albums: Dark Side of the Moon when I came to check my email and saw the great news.
Obvsiouly a lot of hard work sorting things out, so thanks for everything.
Tremendously excited!
Tom.
[Enjoy the gig, Tom. Let us know how it goes. - Features Editor]
HI F,ED
Sorry for the delay in Thanking you but i didnt get in from work until midnight. i cant start to discribe what this means to me, but you can be sure next Tuesday at the Mermaid i will have the most fantatic night! i am so gratefull to you, Thank you so much!
[My pleasure, Neil. Have a great night. - Features Editor]
Apologies for the rants. I have just read through the posts yesterday and noticed the response to one of my submissions. It was thought provoking and did make me realise an apology was in order. I appreciate that I am going to see David at the RAH but I just tried so hard to see him in an intimate venue. You do do a wonderful job on this website and was unfair of me to go off on one like I did. Maybe my kids are right that I am turning into a grumpy old man. To all the winners – enjoy. But also, try to catch Snowy White while he is on tour.
[No worries, mate. - Features Editor]
Hello again!
I’m waiting for your mail….I think you are my last chance…it may sound foolish, but i really dreamed last night that I was at one of David’s concerts…but was a dream…
Please…help me…that dream, my and my boyfriend’s dream to get true…i really hope you can do somethingh.
I’m 25….I never had the chance to go at one of Pink Floyd concert’s…and David was and is my favourite one. I think that this is my last chAnce to go to his concert, because as i heard, he won’t come to Budapest in Hungary…
PLEASE…..LET ME HEAR HIM LIVE!
DAVID!
IF YOU ARE READING THIS….I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE AN AMAZING VOICE…WHICH I WANT TO HEAR IN LIVE…IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT…
PLEASE…..I KNOW IT HAS TO BE “A KEY FOR ME”….TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE…WHERE:
THE GRASS IS GREENER
THE LIGHT IS BRIGHTER
WITH FANS SURRONDED
THE CONCERT OF WONDER
LOVE
KINGA
BUDAPEST
2006.03.02.
P.S. PLEASE, LET DAVID READ THIS LETTER
THANK YOU….
KISS YOU….
AND DAVID!
HAVE A BEAUTIFULL AND HAPPY 60′TH BIRTHYDAY:)
I must say that all the clips off the album so far, have been fabulous……….such a wonderful mix of styles ! In particular, I like the gentleness of Red Sky at Night and the power of Take a Breath. There is definitely a touch of Floyd in there ! Congratulations to David, Polly and team for producing what I think will be a best seller ! I can hardly wait to receive my album on release day ! Cheers Feat Ed !
Caption…
‘Is David INSIDE the piano?!’
Many thanks to all who adminstered the Radio 2 gigs tickets – I’m on cloud #9.
J
Fed., I know the FAQ’s have been temporarily suspended due to the number of questions, but can we please try to squeeze an emergency question in?
“David, is it rooves or roofs?”
An answer from the great man himself should put paid to the debate (and if he isn’t sure, Polly as a writer should know!).
[Good point! That might help us all, never mind Shakespeare, Oxford, Cambridge, Dickens... That said, if you check the 'Division Bell' liner notes for the lyrics to 'Poles Apart'... - Features Editor]
Dear FEd,
Been reading through yesterday’s entries, and it was one hell of a day!
No doubt there have been extended discussions about the format of this section of the site, but I can’t help but feel that maybe there is a better way for either you (or us) to organise our replies better. A few weeks ago I think we were talking about the fact that many of us don’t read our own replies, let alone others….but I think this is not down to laziness or a lack of interest, but just due to missing something when scrolling downwards.
I can see why the blog format works, especially for editorial control, but having a threaded forum may provide that little bit extra – and provide some room to grow. Your chaps at Pixelfury would need to customise one of the available forum apps out there to reduce a lot of the functionality so that you could still retain the ease of editorial control, but also have better information management. Anyhow, just a thought…and with OAI impending, I think we can expect a LOT of new faces around these parts over the coming months…
Best,
N
p.s. Have I told you how much I love you today
[Well, I never get tired of hearing it. Thanks for the recommendation. Always welcome. - Features Editor]
Nice pick on the winners sweet feature ed.
All very deserving, most if not all have given me a good chuckle over the weeks reading their posts. Heres hoping y’all have a great time and if ye get to meet David and Co. or the Ed i’ll be well envious!! Looking forward to hearing your stories on the 8th!
Ripper
p.s. just wondering but is it compulsory to have no hair / penalty spot to get into the Parco della Musica?
Dear FEd et al,
Having watched the video now, a few remarks:
- I love the two line art drawings shown of David playing guitar. One is actually David, and another is I think one of the images used on this site before the reskin…a sort of abstract pencil outline. Anyhow, they’re both great – especially the David one…somehow really captures something about the music in his posture…anyhow, really liked it and hadn’t seen it before…
- Is that David playing a Les Paul in one of the shots? Lots of black strat, but there is a shot about halfway through of what I thought was a Les Paul…
- The shots of CGN (that’ll be Crosby Gilmour and Nash
are lovely, but I really like DG’s harmonies with himself, fading left and right on the screen. Really nice touch, so whoever came up with that idea, nice one – it works really really well imho.
Ticking away, the moments that make up the interim between now and Tuesday evening…
N
Just heard Red Sky At Night – it’s amazing how much David’s sax playing sounds uncannily like his guitar playing! Really looking fwd to the cd next week, the RAH shows, and the x hour plane trip here from Oz
Features Ed – you guys have done such a wonderful job with promotion on this website! I’ll be sure to rip off your ideas for my next cd if that’s ok with you ..
Any word on a surround version of On An Island?
cheers
Ben.
[Not a word, Ben. Sorry! - Features Editor]
Dear Features Editor,
I can’t quite believe I might be the ‘royston’ listed on the competition winners! If I am my full name is as above (royston vince). Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
[It is you, mate. Enjoy yourself on Tuesday night. - Features Editor]

My apologies to the very few of you who haven’t watched Monthy Pythons “Life of Brian” because you probably won’t find that at all funny…
Go watch the film!
[Rudders proves why he's the Features Editor's favourite. Or should that be 'prooves'?
- Features Editor]
Sorry for panicing but havent had e mail yet confirming tickets for next week.
I am away from tomorrow (3/3/06)4am until sunday midnight when I will catch up with e mails then to see if I am lucky. I will need to book train from Inverness to London.It will be worth the journey I know. My brother in law is coming with me. He cleared out a house recently to find a tour book form a Flyd roadies form the 1987 tour
Thanks for your help Ed -you should be knighted!!!
ian
[Apologies for making you panic, Ian. All the e-mail says, if you haven't had it yet, is that the concert starts at 7:30PM, with doors opening from 6:30PM... There will be a break in the middle of the show... The concert itself will last for an hour and a half, so you can expect to leave at about 10:30PM... There is a bar... The theatre is fully seated, so you can sit wherever you like... You will need to show photographic ID and evidence of your name/address (any utility bill will do) and this must match the information you have already given us... Cameras and recording equipment are not allowed and there's a good chance that you will be searched on your way in... So that's it. Oh, and we will be collecting the right arms during the interval. Hope that's all you need to book your train tickets. - Features Editor]
Fedmeister et al
I’m jumping on a plane later tonight and flying down to Clearwater, Florida for a long weekend so won’t be back on the site until late Monday… so I hope the regular bloggers keep the Caption Competition going and hopefully I don’t miss any “goodies” over the weekend…8-O
I’m sure the weekend will go well and the album launch continues to be successful
And if you can have a few days off let me know what time you’ll land at the airport and I’ll pick you up :-)
[How am I going to manage without you until Monday, Rudders? Oh well, have a good weekend. Florida? I'm not jealous, honest. - Features Editor]
HI EVERYONE!!!
Yesterday I feared my dad could had a cancer…but the second clinical test, today, say it is not a cancer and he will be able to stay well taking just some drugs!
WOW! I NEED TO SHOUT AT ALL THE WORLD THAT I’M HAPPY!!!
I can stop crying!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!
HAVE A GREAT EVENING!
Drink and celebrate the life!!!
L!
[Bless you, Lucia. - Features Editor]
Woo Hoo!! Thank you so much for the tickets.
With the exception of scooping a tin of hand cleaner and a biro in a raffle I have never won anything before. My wife and I are overjoyed and looking forward to next week.
We are lucky enough to live a couple of minutes down the road from Astoria and we often walk or run (if we are feeling fit) past.
We will make sure we give David and the team a thank you wave next time we pass (so, David, if you see a couple of idiots on the opposite bank grinning and waving don’t call the men in white coats – it’ll probably only be us).
[You have a great time, Ken. - Features Editor]
Hi Tom [Quinn] but surely you didn’t genuinely think my 11.25pm post [28.2.06] was from Roger?
….be touching though if Roger really sent a “break a leg” post in on 7th March for the start of the tour, assuming of course, he didn’t mean it literally.
Dave
FEd, important question for you: I have floor seats for the Massey Hall show in Toronto. I would love to bring my digital camera for this once in my lifetime experience. Do you think this will be a problem? Are cameras allowed? If I don’t bring my cam and they are allowed… I will feel terrible. Let me know please. Thx!
[Sorry, but they're not allowed in any venue. - Features Editor]
“Rooves” is correct to my way of thinking, and to reinforce the point I’ll be adding this lesson to my sophomores’ vocabulary quiz next week! If we enjoy The Floyd then we all appreciate style, one would think, and I’d say “rooves” is less archaic than “classy.” I’m an English teacher and this week I’ve been showing the kids clips from On An Island each day at the beginning of class. The happiest days of their lives indeed! Thank you very much for a really fun web site. It has been such a pleasure in these weeks leading up to the album and the tour…but thanks mostly to Mr. Gilmour for all of his work over the years, work that has shaped and explained a lot of what really matters to me…I wouldn’t want to imagine a life without Shine On or Raise My Rent or Comfortably Numb.
FANTASTIC-GREAT CANT WAIT TIL TUESDAY
And my local record shop has phoned me to tell me “OaI” SO i CAN PICK IT UP AT 9AM ON MONDAY WOW WOW WOW WOW
I will write an article for the John OGroat Journal

MERMAID THEATRE BBC TICKETS
As you promised to give us your right arms in exchange for tickets, they will be collected during the interval.
Nice on FET ED
dave
When will the confirmation emails go out, Fe.D? I’m growing anxious!
[So sorry to keep you in suspense, James. You are correct and I can confirm that you will be going on Tuesday. Congratulations! Please let us know your postal address. - Features Editor]
I see that John is heading to Toronto from beautiful Kingston!
My son and I are coming in from Brockville!
Hi neighbour!
Yup! I’ve checked out the lyrics to Poles Apart and it does say “roofs”, but then again the words were written by 3 people (I assume David, Polly and Nick), so it could have been one of the others who spelled (or is it spelt?) it that way!!!
Don’t suppose you could persuade the webmaster to put all your venue info and photos on one page when you have finished them (the live dates page would be good!), then we can enjoy the beautiful venues all in one place.
[It has been suggested already, actually, but of course we'll think about it. - Features Editor]
Hi F’ed
Just wondering…if Rudders is off for the weekend should I assume my usual forum nickname of ‘Pudders’…then again maybe I’d better not!
Anyways….just got the email confirming the Mermaid tickets – fantastic! Can you just clear up a couple of things for us?
First the timings of the concert – are you saying the interval will be 1 1/2 hours?…’cos thats how it reads at the moment, at least to me…though I could be losing it of course!
Secondly, I assume the ID that has to be shown refers only to the applicant – in this case me. I ask because at the moment my better half will be accompanying me but, that could change at the last moment…
Cheers again – sorry to be making more work for you….
Neil (pudders)
[Hi Pudders! No problem, I'm happy to try to clear things up. I don't know how long the interval will be, but it won't be that long. Probably half an hour or so? The show will start at 7:30PM and David and his band should play for about an hour and a half with a break in between. The estimated finish time is 10:30PM, but don't forget that there is a bar there, so that still sounds about right to me. These are only rough times. As for ID, then as long as you are there with your photo ID and proof of address matching what the BBC has on file, your guest will be fine. - Features Editor]
Fedmeister… I’m just on the way out of the door to the airport but had to reply…
Frank Par! See you in the HRC on April 9th :-)
Hi, Features Editor!
I know this is a little off topic, but I have been wanting to ask you… how can ask to add my website to the links page?
I have a very nice David Gilmour message board and I was wondering, could I get it put on that page?
I hope it’s not too much to ask…
Also, how many instrumentals are there on the album? 3 or 2? Is it “Castellorizon”, “Red Sky At Night” and “Then I Close My Eyes” ?
-Christian!
[Hi Christian. The sites on the Links page were chosen, not recommended. Unfortunately none of the sites that we are told about seem to be added, as everyone is too busy to check them out thoroughly. However, everyone should know by now that they can visit your site by clicking your name, so I'm sure many people will do that. Good luck with it. As for instrumentals, then there are three: 'Castellorizon', 'Red Sky At Night' and 'Then I Close My Eyes'. - Features Editor]
Ok, my right arm is ready for severing but its going to make any air guitar playing a little messy.
Does this mean “Careful With That Axe, Eugene” or “One of These Days (I’m Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces)” are going to be played!
FEd:
You mentioned no camera at the events, which is perfectly understandable. But do you know the stance on cell phones with cameras? I certainly plan on turning the thing off when I arrive at Radio City, but I do need to bring it with me at least because I don’t live locally, and it’s not like I can pull the camera out of it before I leave home.
I guess I could rent a locker at the Port Authority, but the thought of leaving a $300 phone in it kind of scares me.
[As long as it's switched off, there shouldn't be a problem. - Features Editor]
Todays Music
Very ambient intro – I thought I had logged on to Radiohead site for a minute.
Only joking – no probs – Ignore me it’s Wifey’s birthday and we had a bottle or six.
dave
If you missed the radio arts programme on BBC radio four which had a long interview with David Gilmour this evening you can go to “listen again” on radio four at the bbc site. Look for “Front row” 19.15 02 March.

P.S. Rooves (to rhyme with grooves) are used in Timber boat building. They are the correct name for the copper washers that form the inside part of the rivet through the hull planking and rib of the boat. They form part of the fastening that holds the structure of the boat together. You will need a little boat building knowledge to reach the Island.
[Thanks for that, Pete. If you click Pete's name, you'll find the page you need. - Features Editor]
Ohhh…in english, it’s too difficult for me, so to-day, in french, (excuse me!) Mon morceau préféré est “the blue”, extraordinaire, jamais entendu une telle merveille, et aussi “red sky”, (je crois) à cause du saxo, comment David peut-il être aussi doué ? toute l’émotion qu’il transmet dans sa guitare, il la transmet aussi par le saxo, et ça fait si peu de temps qu’il en joue! 2min… de pur bonheur! David est arrivé à me faire oublier totalement PF ! Comment aurais-je pû dire tout ça en anglais, j’en suis incapable et le regrette beaucoup, will you forgive me, dear Ed. ?
Michèle.
[Of course I will! - Features Editor]
The “Rudders & Rooves” sideshow has taken on a life of it’s own :-) I loved the “Life of Brian” takeoff. I think it is a prerequisite, is it not… that one can’t be a fan of Pink Floyd and not love Monty Python! (“…well we did do the nose… but she is a witch!! Burn Her!!)… and yes I did think Roger wrote the other night (I gotta watch more closely to my screen at 4 am, after my nightly gig, it seems!)
Watching from the sidelines here in San Diego with the Mermaid competition – it has been so wonderful seeing all this excitement…at times this Fan Fare has had all the drama and excitement of a highly rated game show!! Carlos Arias winning those tickets – his co-workers might have to give him medical leave unless he can control himself better!! :-) But what would be the fun in that.
Thank you (again!) Fedmeister for your labor of love here on our behalf! The hard work “yes”, but the genuine sense of caring behind the work -obvious to anyone following this column – makes it all the more special!
Cheers!
[Thanks, Tom. Very kind of you. - Features Editor]
Brilliant news to win, thanks. My postal address is…
LET ME KNOW ON THE SITE IF YOU RECEIVED THIS AS THE EXCITEMENT AND TO MISS OUT IS CAUSING ME A
MOMENTARY LAPSE OF REASON.
David Gaylor
[You've got nothing to worry about, David. Your tickets are perfectly safe and in the capable hands of someone at the BBC, who won't hand them over until you show photo ID and proof of your address. - Features Editor]
Oh my God F.E.!…who will clean the blackboard for you at the end of the day while “Ruvvers” is gone.Guess you’ll have to find a temporary teacher’s pet during his absence.
Hey Frank and Peter(Brockville)!!…Would be really cool to hook up at Hard Rock Cafe on Younge St. prior to the show.I have tickets for April 10th.Hope to see you there!!!
[I don't know how I'm going to manage in his absence, John. Maybe I'll go back to being nasty. No one's accused me of chastising them in ages. - Features Editor]

To Stephen in NY, about the joined versions of Pigs On The Wing… the only official release of that was on a Snowy White compilation called Goldtop – Groups & Sessions 74-94, which came out in the mid-90s. For anyone who has grown up with the Animals album but never heard this complete version, it makes for fascinating listening. And it’s Snowy, of course, who played lead guitar. Lovely chap… I met up with him again recently in Koh Samui, Thailand.
I have been a fan of Pink Floyd for years. David, your new release if fantastic! The title track is spiritual!! Thanks.
David – I just wanted to say thank you so much for the decades of wonderfully unique and talented music. I so much enjoyed your live shows. I was privileged to see you a few times thru the years and am so disappointed that I could not get a ticket for the show in NYC. I have been a looooooong time fan and am so happy for your success and especially anxious to buy your new CD after work today. Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us. God Bless you and Polly, and the rest of your family. Hope to see you just once more some day.
Sincerely, Paul Castelli -Vineland, New Jersey -USA
Sir Gilmour’s new disc is awesome. He answers the question: “..by the way which ones pink?…” I used to buy into the whole Roger Waters is Pink Floyd but after listening to Water’s solo stuff and comparing it with Gilmour I realized they can’t be compared. David Gilmour is a true first rate musician and performer whereas Roger Waters is just a sort of high rent lyricist first and musician second. The lyrics in the last two Floyd albums might not have been all that high and mighty but the music was definitely better without RW. Roger was the concept guy but it’s evident to me that Gilmour and Wright put it together musically. Without DG’s guitar and voice mixed with Richard Wright’s keys and vocals, it couldn’t have been Pink Floyd. Anyway the new album ranks up there with classic discs like Wish You Were Here, Meddle etc etc. It would be awesome if DG would crank out some old classic tunes like “Childhood’s End” or “The Narrow Way”. Also it would be awesome if he would do a FUll ON North American tour instead of just the L.A, Chicago and NYC shows! Those shows sold out in ten minutes and a full tour would sell out in about 5. That’s how good the new disc is. Anybody still wondering ‘..which ones Pink?’ hasn’t heard “On An Island” yet. I hope there will be a ‘live’ disc release of the upcoming tour for the millions of us who won’t get to see it in the flesh.
Sorry for the horrid grammar in this post.
[Don't worry about the grammar, Aaron. The comments about Roger, and how other fans will react to them, is what I'm concerned about! Seriously though, can we please just have respect for other opinions, such as Aaron‘s? There's no need for anyone to come to the defence of Roger, because I imagine the vast majority of those reading already know what a talented person he is and just what he gave to Pink Floyd. Most of the people here are Floyd aficionados, so you’re merely preaching to the converted. Besides, it won't change Aaron's opinion if he's done his homework and made up his mind - and it sounds like he has done, so fair enough. Likewise, there's nothing wrong with criticising David if you feel the need to. Just be honest and say what you think in a respectful way, with respect for differing views, and it should make for more interesting reading. How about that, Shelley? We'll see how it goes… - Features Editor]
Hi and see us in Rome at march 26, i hope to meet you all in backstage.

Wow… David is a superb musician talented… some notable exitements in the best David & Polly style. Once again, the guitarist has done a brilliant job. I loved… :0)

To all you lovely David Gilmour fans,
I am writing to you in sheer hope & desperation.
The problem is, i didn’t have the oportunity to purchase any tickets to watch David in concert when they went on sale. Another slight problem is that i don’t own a PC so couldn’t buy online either. I’ve researched various ticket outlets & i’ve even written to the Features Editor but have had no luck. I’m a HUGE Floyd/Gilmour fan & am so desperate to, at some point before i die, see David live in concert! I have been lucky enough to see Roger Waters at Glastonbury festival a few years ago, but i won’t sleep peacefully at night until i’ve seen the mighty Gilmour play!
My friend & i have entered a competition to win tickets, but in all honesty i have never won a competition in my life, (oh, apart from the wet T-shirt one i entered whilst on holiday last year).
Anyway, is there ANYBODY out there that can please PLEASE help a sad desperate fan get my hands on a couple of these things that are made of gold dust at a reasonable price, (i’d consider traveling)?
For any fantastic, kind, knight in shining armour, fairy god mother type; any Hogwarts graduates, or people that can do magic, if you can help me, my email address is: laura_mcmuffe@yahoo.co.uk
My fingers are crossed.
Many thanks
Laura. (Devon, G.B)
