David wonders “Is this what Barnfest was like??”
Happy Happy Birthday Dear Fed. Have a pint on me! I hope your day is a great one.
If one doesn’t do it then you better make it three. Wait….phone ringing….maybe it’s Hallmark;-)
Seriously, Hope your day is great.

Photo caption 04/10/07: Mellow Fruitfulness
I always enjoy reading the captions from Rudders, Angelo, Andrew to name a few; this contest is a real challenge to me, but here it goes:
Caption: David was wondering if the band should move to the undersea bunker to practice instead of staying in the barn. Sadly, no comments were made from Richard, Guy and Steve, not to mention about Phil and Jon, both went hiding.
p.s Congratulations David Gilmour and company for the continuous success on the Music DVD charts.

I just bought the DVD yesterday after finally getting a copy here (Australia). I was annoyed at the delays, but hell if I knew it was this good I would of been willing to wait an extra week. Amazing. Good to see someone putting some worthwhile extras on a music DVD for once!
Performances are amazing but the thing that stuck out to me was the shot selections and camera movement (being a filmmaker I guess it’s hard not to notice these things). Props to the director on that one, did an awesome job.
CAPTION: David suspects Steve finished the Marmite.
My caption: “The Best Wedding Band In The Universe” :-)
CAPTION :
Stevie D : “Isn’t it about time you got rid of those pigeons out of the loft, David?”
Guy : “I’ll shoot ‘em down “Robin”… pass me a couple of them Nano arrows.”
David : “Hmmm… you’re right “Robin”!!! And I do need to de-clutter. I know… lose the pigeons, install some CONDUIT. Tantastic.”
Richard : “It’s OK David. I’ve already been barnstorming. I’m drawing up the plans right now.”
CAPTION FOR THE COMP.
The boys nearly blew the rafters off the roof with this one.
Happy,sweet,fantastic,birthday “our” FEd!
Thank you (everyday) for this space that’s a window on the music and on a “new family”…
How many moons dear FEd?Not too many to have got a very very young heart.
Have a nice life dawn by dawn

Steve stares at the flock approaching his kick drum when David decided to reharse Sheep in the barn to have a more realistic sound.
Hm, let me see… jamming in February, new album out before Christmas, tour in 2008. You see it too, Steve, right?
As David and his friends were making so much noise, Polly sent them into the loft to play.
Caption: David thinking to himself, I really should get this loft insulated!!!
Take care all.

p.s.still thinkin’ of my caption:)
[Thanks, Emilio. - Features Editor]
The best I can do is:
“Those builders we got in to do the loft conversion have a bloody loud radio, I said to them sort out the roof void not play Pink Floyd! But they ignored me and played Animals to the animals.”
Cheers
Kieran
“Ooh, I’ve got a brand new combine harvester….”
I´m thinking an intimate little “barn-party”
Where’s Dick Parry when you need him?
“Steve, Guy, David and Rick jamming at the barn.”
That’s honestly the best I could think of.
- James.
David looking reflective – “Maybe the Dog and Duck’ll give us our breakthrough gig!”
*David with Stevie looking on*
Look FEd, I know the blog winning that award had a lot to do with you but please, will you come down from those rafters?
“…all together as a team under the roof!”
again Happy Birthday, dear F.Ed.
ciao Elisabetta
CAPTION:
“The Barn Blues Shuffle”
While rehearsing “Candy and a Currant Bun” for their next tour, the band slighty changed the lyrics:
“Oh my FEd, sitting in the blog
go buy new laptop and a currant mouse
I like, to see you reply
Like that……
Oooh, don’t talk to me
Please just chat!!! with me…”
Here the band bursted out into laughter and sung “Happy birthday to you, FEd”
Have a nice day!!!

Hi FEd,
I was looking for the DVD Chart positions i Denmark, and found this: (click my name).
I believe this is the official list in Denmark, but am not 100 % sure. But if the information is valid, I’m glad to see that Remember that Night tops the list in Denmark as well as many other countries!
(And happy birthday – hope you’ll enjoy mocking your bowling friends…:-)

Happy Birthday again Fed ! Health, luck and that all your wishes come true.
Today the caption for the picture can only be:
“Lets play: For he´s a jolly good fellow, for he´s a jolly good fellow …….”
Awwww Stevie-d’s drum…
It looks like our chatroom emoticon. You know, we never gave the little fella a name.

Happy Birthday, Fed.

so many possibilities with this one but ill go with:
“Keep pumping Phil, the inflatable Gilmour is almost at operational size”
just for fun here’s another 2:
“Aw nuts the roof’s leakin’ again”
“Phil stop showing off with that levitation thing”
“Due to constant complaints from old Mrs. Busybody, Davey and The Buckeroos were forced to practice in the attic.”
What do you mean spend money on a studio !?! We are saving for retirement you know.

Though Hagrid and the Frog Choir were tough to follow, David and company figured out the melody to ‘Grawp’s Lullaby’…

::Caption Competition::
‘Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way’ thought David, ‘…but not the American way!’, thought Steve, as he broke wind…
Caption: Fortunately for the band, the Irregulars had opted for a barn rather than a bunker when chosing the venue for the Blogfest.
What a good way of keeping us occupied while you take a well deserved break for your birthday FEd. I hope you had a good one.
Caption: David chose to play even smaller venues this time.
Happy Birthaday FED. Enjoy your day

Have a great day everyone!
PS: A big Happy Birthday to Fed!!! I’d sing but…
CAPTION:- “Okay one more time… “We are the champions my friends…”
Dear Fed, I wonder if you can help, we’ve been away walking in the Cotswolds so have only had a chance to speed read the postings so if you have already covered this I apologise. [...]
Hope everyone out there in blogland is fit and well and can I join the party as well as my birthdays’ Sunday….. After 2 wonderful evenings last month and a superb DVD I think I’ve been very lucky.
[Happy Birthday for Sunday, Heather. It's still too early to discuss the hidden extras, sorry. Glad that you're finding them, though. Keep looking. - Features Editor]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FED. Hope you have a great day!!!!!
Wow, we won the music blog award, thats cool, good job fed. I told you last year we would win this year, we’re cool like that and we have some very cool and dedicated bloggers also. so yeah we’re cool!
Caption: Having told Dick Parry to “vamp” the solo, the band looks on in wonder as he dons a cape and hangs upside down from the rafters….
Music always rewards greater Friendship

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, FEd! Hope you get to kick back and celebrate in style! All good wishes to you in the year ahead….enjoy your day!

David: “I believe you’re right, Stevie. That IS a rather large cobweb, isn’t it?”
While Cookie monster is sneaking up on Steve’s biscuit tins, the other band members are trying hard to pretend they haven’t seen him.
(No need to put me in the hat, I have had my share for this year.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FED!
Do you smell something?
Caption: If the barn’s a rockin’…
Congrats for FED and Irregulars on the prize. Well deserved!
If I’m allowed to drift off topic for awhile: I’ve yet to see the DVD unfortunately as I’m currently doing some volunteer work in Nepal. The only way to get it here seems to be to wait for Chinese hideously and hilariously pirated copies to get here (though I’m heading to China pretty soon myself!). I couldn’t find a single legit music shop around!
Hope everyone are enjoying it though. I was obsessing a bit over missing the DVD before I got here (managed to catch the amazing Fat Old Sun clip) but once I did, I suppose there’s a different perspective on these things. Seeing children really starving is very hard, but I have some mixed feelings.
Volunteering a bit, I get the chance to see many donations from many countries going to waste over politics and negligence. There’s a sense that some interest groups are benefiting greatly from the poverty of their fellow citizens. It seems to me a pretty complicated matter. I’m especially thinking, of course, of Mr. Gilmour’s great generosity and involvement in many helpful organizations.
Oh heck, I just want to watch me some High Hopes!
[Keep up the good work, mate. It's good to know that some people still care. - Features Editor]
Despite assurances that Pink Floyd were a huge band, the rest of the guys seemed a little confused having to practice in David’s attic.
“Is there anybody out there”
Hi FEd,
Congratulations again on your birthday ! Have a splendid one.
Best regards,
Ralph

Once they hit the island they made Skipper and Gilligan move in with the Howells on the promise of taking them with them when they head back to the main land.
Hi Fed. How are you, mate?
Do you have any news about a delay on the brazilian release of Remember That Night?
I have ordered it 20 days ago, in one of the major DVD stores here and they say it still haven´t been released. And asked more 15 days to bring the imported version, for more than US$ 50.00!!!
Then I told them about the release date, october 3rd, and they said Sony hasn´t comfirmed anything…
Well, I have checked brazilian SonyBMG website today – october 4th – and…there´s absolutely nothing. Not even on october releases or the back catalogue.
I just want a confirmation if it has been or will be released this month yet, or should I (sigh) buy the imported one.
Can you help me? (yes, I have sent Sony an e-mail, since it´s seems impossible to catch a free phone line avaliable there…)
[If it has been delayed, nobody thought to tell me. Will try and find out what's going on, Adriano. Sincere apologies for the disappointment. - Features Editor]

Who left the barn door open?
Here is my caption submission. Some of those timbers in David’s barn look a little scary. Do you know how old that barn is?

Simple in daily living, to be unrestrained at the opera
YAY!
I know I am late, but I will take a shot at my first caption.
“David Gilmour stares in wonder as he entertains the seagulls with Echoes in the crows nests”
I know, don’t quit my day job.
“David and Stevie gaze in hypnotic wonder at the bright ambassadors of morning streaming into the barn, while Richard and Guy seem transfixed by the sound of a distant echo …”
I think I may be late with this, not to mention that these captions are best left to the Caption Masters amongst us, but, what the hell! Gotta try it once!
Peace,
Gabrielle

can we move yet?

Hi FEd – Can you please help sort out some confusion over Phil Taylor’s upcoming book on David’s black strat.
Although I’ve pre-ordered through Amazon, I’ve read elsewhere that the book will only be sold through Phil’s website. Some say only to buyers of the new DG signature strat.
It is said to be a limited print run so I’d hate to be waiting for Amazon if it’s not going to arrive and miss the chance of buying elsewhere. Can you please help?
[I can, but not without first saying that there wouldn't be any confusion if certain websites waited until Phil's book, and site, are even ready before talking about how you can buy one. You'll get a copy of Phil's book if you purchase the David Gilmour Strat. You can also get a copy by ordering one from Phil's website. When it's up and running, we'll let you know. The last I heard, the book would not be available through Amazon, or any other retailer. As many details are still being finalised, we'll let you know as soon as possible if this, or anything else, changes. - Features Editor]
