Tag Archive for "cinema" tag

There have been many articles added to the archives lately, including some from the Polish press. (Thank you, Tomasz, for sending these in.)

If you spot anything interesting, particularly if it’s not in English, let me know.

There hasn’t been much talk of the free ‘A Great Day For Freedom’ download, so here’s that link again, just in case you haven’t been paying attention to the Latest News. (Tut, tut.)

I’d also like to know two things.

1. Who went to see the Gdańsk gig on the big screen on Monday, where did you see it, and how did it go?

2. Do you have your copy of ‘Live in GdaÅ„sk’ yet? Whether your thumbs are up or down, speak to me.

As some people are still waiting for theirs, please remember that discussion of DVD Easter eggs should take place here, not here, or anywhere else. Some like surprises, apparently.

And finally, the chatroom is open today from 13:00 (UK), so feel free to drop in and talk about whatever you like… Almost. Don’t forget those red rules on your way in.

There’ll be updates on the various delays, and all this trouble with iTunes, just as soon as I know anything useful. Until then, as ever, I can only sincerely apologise for the confusion and disappointment caused, and ask you to be patient while these issues are being resolved.

David will still be appearing on Later… with Jools Holland tomorrow night (and also on Friday night). He has changed his songs and will now perform ‘Remember a Day’ and ‘The Blue’ instead. He will also be talking with Jools.

Please see the calendar for times.

‘Remember a Day’ was written and sung by Richard Wright, who died last week. The song features on Pink Floyd’s second album, ‘A Saucerful of Secrets’.

Thank you, Liz, for the lovely portrait.

‘Live in Gdań„sk’ is out today across Europe, and also in Brazil, Israel, Mexico and New Zealand.

Tickets are still available for cinemas in the States tonight, if you want to see the Gdań„sk concert. Go to The Bigger Picture website and click the graphic at the foot of the page. When you see that image full-screen, you should also notice a link for THEATERS AND SHOWTIMES on the left, which will tell you everything you need to know about where this one-night-only event is taking place.

‘Live in Gdań„sk’ is out tomorrow in Argentina, Canada, Uruguay and the US.

‘Live in GdaÅ„sk’ is out in some parts of Europe tomorrow. Likely countries are Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland, but please check before you head out.

The release date for Australia has been pushed back to Saturday 27 September.

The vinyl set is now $99.99 from SoundStage Direct (with free domestic shipping).

Waterloo Records – of Austin, Texas – have prices of $17.97, $31.47 and $44.97. This includes the ‘Wot’s…’ CD while supplies last, although they promise to let you know before your order is processed if they do run out.

The Disc Exchange (Knoxville, Tennessee) and Euclid Records (St Louis, Missouri) ship worldwide, so contact them for a price.

‘A Great Day For Freedom’ has just been added to David’s MySpace.

Tickets are still available to see the GdaÅ„sk concert at the cinema. That’s on Monday night.

The DG Strat is still on schedule, but please don’t expect to get your hands on yours until at least October. The manufacturing process is a very slow one and demand has been great.

The ‘Flashback: Ritzy‘ post has re-opened, so, if you want to talk about that…

And finally, the chatroom will be open tomorrow, between 14:00 and 16:00 (UK).

The North American premiere of ‘Remember That Night’, in Brixton, was one year ago.

If you were part of it, let us know.

Thanks to Becky for providing today’s photo, which you can click to see more clearly.

If you’re going along, we’d love to hear from you.

As difficult as it may be to believe, many of you were loitering around Leicester Square this time last year, waiting for the European premiere of ‘Remember That Night’.

If you were there and have anything to say on the matter, please go ahead.

And if you were watching in cinemas around Europe, we’d also love to hear from you.

Today’s photo, kindly sent in by Frank, is of him meeting Steve DiStanislao inside the Odeon.

Thank you for sharing it with us, Frank.

Sky Arts will be broadcasting 75 minutes from ‘Remember That Night’ tonight. So, if you’re a Sky customer, tune in to Sky Arts (channel 256) or Sky Arts HD (channel 257) from 21:00 (UK).

Last, but by no means least… If you’re still waiting for details on those US cinemas involved in the ‘Live in GdaÅ„sk’ premiere, all I can say is that the full list will be on the Latest News page as soon as possible.

Seeing as some of you have already heard this news over the airwaves this evening…

Do tune in to Radcliffe & Maconie for a live ‘Echoes’ exclusive on Wednesday 24 September.

As well as ‘Echoes’ in all its glory, David will chat.

You can listen online, either live (Listen in the top-right) or by selecting Listen Again (scroll down the page and select the desired day; you have a full week after the broadcast to do so).

That’s Wednesday 24 September between 20:00 and 22:00 (UK), BBC Radio 2.

If you’re in the UK, you can find Radio 2 at 88-91 FM, listen through your DAB
digital radio or even your television: channel 0102 on Sky, 902 on Virgin and 702 on Freeview.

Stuart Maconie, you may recall, compèred the ‘Remember That Night’ premiere at London’s Leicester Square last year.

Don’t forget the current issue of Mojo magazine, available now, which is worth picking up. It’s the one with Queen on the cover.

Some of you have been hoping for this, I know.

To mark the release of David’s ‘Live in GdaÅ„sk’ album, which comes with a concert DVD (unless you’re content with two CDs and/or vinyl, of course), there will be showings in select cinemas across the United States on Monday 22 September.

This event will take place in approximately 106 cinemas, and please note that the presentation includes several songs which won’t be on the DVD: ‘Speak To Me’, ‘Breathe’, ‘Time’, ‘Breathe (Reprise)’, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and ‘Wish You Were Here’.

Locations and ticket prices have yet to be confirmed, but the length of the show will be 108 minutes (I don’t know how many seconds, sorry) and the footage a hybrid of HD and SD.

The price of admission is likely to be somewhere around $12.

Please note that this is only happening in the USA. There are no similar plans for any other part of the world at this time.

You can expect more details as information becomes available, so please hold on to your questions until sufficient answers can be provided. I just wanted you to know that it’s coming.

Thank you.

My favourite fan photo for the merry month of May is this one.

That’s Becky, Melissa and Tracy, in London for the North American premiere of ‘Remember That Night’, last year.

Love those T-shirts, ladies!

If you have a snap to share, please get it online and let me know where I can find it. There are many more to come, but additional offerings are always welcome.

I’m sure that we’d all like to know the stories behind the photos, too…

How did yesterday’s North American premiere of ‘Remember That Night’ go? Do tell.

I’d love to know where you saw it and what you thought of it – and everything in between, of course.

I’d also be very interested to hear from the fans that were invited to the Ritzy. I hope you had a good time.

Again, please post lengthy comments in bite-size pieces. There is a character limit in place and I would hate for your messages to be missing a proper ending.

The ‘Remember That Night’ DVD will be in shops across Europe (except for Finland and Sweden) tomorrow.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: GETTING TO BRIXTON

For fans making their way to Brixton tomorrow, please note that there are engineering works on the Victoria line this weekend, so there are no trains south-bound between Victoria and Brixton.

North-bound services will be in operation.

There is a replacement bus service. However, please add at least half an hour to your journey time.

Alternatively, the nearest tube station is Stockwell on the Northern line. There are buses from Stockwell to Brixton. If you’d prefer to walk, it takes about 20 minutes.

For further information, please visit www.tfl.gov.uk or telephone 020 7222 1234 (24 hours).

It’s the North American premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall’ next.

Whether you’ll be at Brixton’s Ritzy on Saturday, or watching from one of 166 cinemas across Canada and the United States, I look forward to hearing all about it.

The event will be filmed and will be available, here at DavidGilmour.com, next week.

The event will be hosted by Phil Manzanera.

There are still some tickets available for both Canada and the US, so, if you’d like to attend, details of participating cinemas and online bookings can be found at Cineplex (Canada) and Fathom Events (US).

I hope you all enjoy the event and have a good weekend.

I leave you with a round-up of goodies that are coming up this weekend, as well as others which you may not have seen, heard, or read yet. More to come on Monday.

- Discover ‘Remember That Night’ with (French language) Belgian radio station Classic 21 all day today. You can even win a copy here.

- MOJO Radio are having a Pink Floyd & David Gilmour weekend, starting today. Don’t miss an interview with David on Sunday. As well as being able to listen online, you can also listen through your TV in the UK: Sky channel 0182, Freeview channel 721.

- VH1 Classic in the US will be showcasing 60-minutes of ‘Remember That Night’ on Saturday. That starts at 7PM (EST).

- Guy Pratt interviewed David for Planet Rock in the build-up to Thursday’s Leicester Square premiere. You’ll find the option to listen to old shows by clicking LISTEN LIVE at the top (then you want the third link beneath Nicky Horne’s show). Don’t forget to watch the videos, too.

- There’s an interview with David in the latest edition of Word magazine, which you can find in the Press section. Alternatively, you can order a copy through this link and have it delivered to any part of the world.

- There are brief interviews with David regarding the North American event in the Press section. More are being added just as soon as we get them in (more later today), so please keep an eye on it.

- If you had trouble with the AOL videos, we’ll have ‘The Blue’, ‘Coming Back To Life’, ‘Fat Old Sun’, ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and ‘Take A Breath’ in the DVD section later today. Don’t miss those.

‘Remember That Night’ is released today in Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland. If you’ve got your copy, we hope you like it. Let us know.

If your country is not covered above, please see the calendar for worldwide release dates (apologies now to Brazil, Mexico and Japan).

Thank you all for your comments about Thursday’s UK & Europe premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall’. Whether you were with David at the Odeon in London’s Leicester Square, or at any of the other cinemas across Europe, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your night.

Particularly for those for whom English is a second language, you might like to read a transcript from the Odeon Q&A session here. Video is to follow shortly, so keep your eyes peeled for Latest News.

I thought you might like a dedicated space to arrange another pre-show get-together in advance of Saturday’s North American premiere – yes, that’s this Saturday: Saturday 15 September – which is to be broadcast live to 166 cinemas across Canada and the US, from the Ritzy in Brixton, London.

Everyone is welcome to join the party, so don’t be shy. There is a bar on the premises. However, if you know of a better place to meet for a drink and a chin-wag before the show starts, do send your suggestions.

There are still tickets available at some cinemas. For full details, please see previous entries concerning Canada and the US.

If you can make it to the Ritzy at short notice and would like to be on my back-up list, please send in your full name and address. However, please understand that there can be no guarantee that you will be contacted with the offer of tickets.

Please also note that this is a private event and you will only get in if your name is on the list. I would strongly discourage anyone from turning up on the night, fancying their chances of blagging their way in.

The film starts at 8PM (UK), but part of the ‘Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine’ documentary will be shown from 7.30PM (UK).

Well, what did you think of that, then?

I’d love to know how you enjoyed Thursday’s premiere of ‘Remember That Night’, shown at cinemas across Europe.

Where did you see it? What was it like? Who did you meet? How did you enjoy the live performance? What did you think of the questions and answers? Favourite song? Favourite moment? Could you bear to go through it all again on Saturday in Brixton?

I want to know each and every juicy detail, so bring it on.

If you’ve already written at length in preparation for the blog’s re-opening – yes, I know who you are – please could you post it in bite-size pieces? There is a character limit in place and, as well as making it easier for everyone to read if it’s not too extensive, I obviously wouldn’t want your message to be truncated.

Thank you.

If you were one of the lucky Ritzy winners, you will have an e-mail waiting for you right about… now.

Congratulations. You will be attending the private North American premiere of David’s forthcoming live DVD, ‘Remember That Night’, on Saturday 15 September.

This is the last entry for the week, so have a wonderful time if you’ll be attending any of the participating venues where the UK & Europe cinematic premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live at The Royal Albert Hall’ is being broadcast on Thursday.

Some tickets are still available, so do check the list of European cinemas and contact the venues directly, by telephone or through their websites, if you haven’t yet acquired tickets.

Both premieres promise to be a great nights, with a live song, David answering your questions… and maybe even a surprise or two.

Speaking of questions, I have contacted the senders of our favourites. If you didn’t get an e-mail on Thursday (UK & Europe) or yesterday (North America), then your question was not selected – sorry.

If you’re going to the premiere at London’s Leicester Square on Thursday, don’t forget that fans are meeting before the show at the Imperial pub on Leicester Street. Everyone is more than welcome to join the party, so feel free to call in from 5PM (UK) for a pre-show tipple. You can get an idea of who will be there over at the Leicester Square meet-up page.

Ritzy winners, if you have any questions, they’ll have to wait until Monday. However, all you need to know is contained in your confirmation e-mail. If you received that e-mail, you’re on the list and your seat is safe. Please go ahead and make all the necessary travel/accommodation arrangements in complete confidence.

Back on Monday, looking forward to hearing your memories of this unique occasion.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: CONTEST CANCELLED

Apologies for the disappointment, but it has been decided that any tickets that we are able obtain should be given to those who fell victim to the Odeon’s double-booking error, which has left fans without tickets for Thursday’s UK & Europe premiere.

Sadly, there is an insufficient supply of spares and no returns in circulation, so we cannot help in the way in which we intervened during the Royal Albert Hall shows last year, for example.

Presently, this contest is only raising people’s hopes (especially when some clearly don’t read more than a few words beyond tickets and grabs).

So, regrettably, I have no Leicester Square tickets for you. Please don’t put your name down for non-existent tickets.

If I can help, I will contact you tomorrow, but I make no guarantees.

There are still tickets available for the North American premiere in Brixton on Saturday 15 September, however. This will be much the same as Leicester Square, with a live performance and Q&A, only in a smaller setting.

If you’d like tickets for The Ritzy, please click here.

Following on from last week’s Ritzy give-away, I now have some tickets for Leicester Square up for grabs.

How many, I don’t know.

However, if you were unable to purchase tickets, or if you were one of the unfortunate souls caught up in the Odeon’s double-booking error, do let us know and I’ll see what I can do to help.

As before, all I ask is that you tell me your full name and full address, as well as your guest’s.

Don’t forget that there is a pre-show fan get-together arranged at the Imperial pub on Leicester Street from 5PM (UK) on Thursday. Everyone is welcome, so why not call in for a quick drink?

There are still some tickets left for the Ritzy, too. I’ll let you know who gets them just as soon as our allocation has gone.

Last, but certainly not least, I’d like to thank you all for sending in a question for David. There were so many good ones to choose from, it really wasn’t easy whittling the list down. However, whittled it, I did, and I have now contacted the senders of my favourite 20 questions: ten for each premiere.

I have also sworn them all to secrecy to keep an element of surprise; although, as I keep stressing, there is no guarantee that all 20 will be used, so we’re all in for a surprise.

If you did not receive e-mail notification on Thursday (UK & Europe) or today (North America), then, regrettably, your question was not selected. However, I hope you will enjoy David’s answers to the questions that did make it through, and are sure that you’ll all enjoy the premieres on Thursday 6 September (Europe) and Saturday 15 September (North America).

There are still some tickets available. For a complete list of European venues, click here. And don’t forget Canada and the United States.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE (31/08/07)

I still have some tickets left, so forget about the deadline.

If you haven’t yet put your name forward, there’s still time to do so.

Please read the following very carefully before you leave a message. Ineed your full name and full postal address, the same for any of your guests (three are permitted), and greatly appreciate one post with all the details included (as opposed to several disjointed ones).

When they’re gone, they’re gone, so please don’t deliberate for too long.

The North American premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live at The Royal Albert Hall’ – on Saturday 15 September – is to be a private event held at London’s Brixton Ritzy… and I’m inviting all our ‘Irregular’ friends.

So, that’s another opportunity for a fan get-together in the capital, if you fancy it.

Let me know if you’d like to attend and I’ll see how many of you I can fit in. I’ll even give you up to four tickets each so that you can take three of your friends along with you (thus guaranteeing a place in their good books just in time for Christmas).

However, if you’re not a regular contributor, please don’t bother reading any further.

I hark on about our ‘Irregulars’ often enough, and stress that anyone can join their ranks if they only joined in. As I anticipate more names than actual tickets, I have to prioritise, and I like to reward those who are loyal to this blog.

If you are an Irregular and can get to the Ritzy Picturehouse at Brixton Oval, Coldharbour Lane, London, SW2 1JG by 8PM sharp (UK time) on Saturday 15 September, I want to hear from you.

I need your full name and postal address, plus the full names and postal addresses of up to three of your friends. Manage this in just one post and you might hear from me on Monday.

If you don’t, you haven’t been chosen. You can’t all win, sadly.

Tickets are non-refundable and, obviously, I want all ticket-holders to attend. There will be a small crowd in attendance and I don’t want it to get any smaller just because you aren’t 100% certain that you can be there. Therefore, please only express your interest if you are absolutely sure that you can attend. Other fans will miss out if you win tickets and, subsequently, waste them.

Furthermore, if you find that you cannot attend for any reason, yet your non-blogging friends can, they will not be eligible. You need to attend to get your friends in. So, why not get your mates to wrap you up in cotton wool and look after you for a week or two? It seems a shame to miss an opportunity to be pampered rotten, doesn’t it?

This is an out-and-out ticket give-away to our Irregulars. Again, all I ask is that you:

- Include your full name and address,
- Include the full names and full addresses of up to three friends,
- Promise that you will all show up on the night and look dead keen,
- Do all of the above in just one brief post.

Time is of the essence. If you give me incomplete details, or send your names in dribs and drabs, you have no chance. One post with everything I need, please. No excuses. No favours.

For the record, you can’t sell your spare tickets. You can’t even give them away. You, and your guests, need to be on the guest list to get in.

That’s why I urge you to choose your guests carefully and be sure that you are all able to attend before contacting me. If you can’t do this, then know that somebody else can – and will.

If I do not have your full details by 1PM Friday (UK time), then you’re too late to be considered, so don’t dilly-dally. As soon as my tickets are gone, they’re gone.

I promise not to advertise a surprise party at your house and make a mess on your front lawn while you’re away. Your names and addresses will never be published, shared, sold, or anything irritating like that.

Good luck and remember: one post with all your details, please. Just one.

Thank you.

With so many alterations and additions to several European lists, here’s a complete list for anyone who is feeling confused.

There are no other cinemas involved in this event. These are the only ones.

The cinematic world premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live at The Royal Albert Hall’ (broadcast in High Definition) takes place on Thursday 6 September.

David will be at London’s Odeon, in Leicester Square. He will perform one song (on electric guitar) and take part in a live Q&A session. There will also be 85-minutes of concert footage.

All this will be broadcast, live via satellite from Leicester Square, to participating cinemas.

No tickets to the North American premiere will be on sale.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: EXTRA VENUE & TICKETS ON SALE

Another venue has just been added to the list for Sweden: Trollhättan.

Please click here for details of all Swedish venues, and also to order tickets.

You can now order tickets for Denmark’s Palads København here. If you encounter any difficulties with this link, please visit www.biobooking.dk and you’ll see ‘David Gilmour’ listed on the right (under Forsalg). Click David’s name, then the red arrow, then the start time (in green). The rest will become obvious.

We’ve unfortunately reached the end of Phil Manzanera’s fan Q&A, which I hope you’ve enjoyed.

There were some great questions and, judging by the comments that followed each instalment, the answers didn’t disappoint.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank Phil for being so very gracious with his time and for answering a wide variety of questions with such honesty and wit: Phil, many thanks.

Thanks again to everyone who sent in a question for consideration.

If you’re in Europe, or will be attending one of the European cinemas where ‘Remember That Night’ is being shown on Thursday 6 September, and haven’t sent in a question for David yet, please don’t leave it much later. The deadline is tomorrow at 5PM (UK).

Please click here to leave your question – but please take note of the rules before you do so.

I really do need to know your real name and whereabouts. If you do not include this information, I do not consider your question.

Neither will I consider questions about Pink Floyd reforming, tribute bands or David listening to your demos. And please, please, please spare us all from the “When are you coming to…?” nonsense. You’re wasting your chance with any of these.

The song being performed in yesterday’s Name That Tune screenshot was ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’. If you guessed correctly, well done. If you didn’t, we still love you.

Last, but not least, the chatroom has just opened and will be open until 12PM (UK). Feel free to call in.

How have your Latin roots influenced your music? (Renee B)

Very much so from a rhythmic point of view, the groove. And my love of the cumbia makes me very partial to a 6/8 rhythm, which I invariably play against a 4/4 rhythm.

Is there a guitarist from your homeland that you especially like the work of? (Jan)

The guitarist I most admire is Jimi Hendrix.

What’s your favourite song to play live? (Chris Hampton)

‘Ladytron’.

If you listened to ‘Ladytron’ vocals by Thom Yorke, can you tell me if you liked his way to sing your song? (Lucia)

Yes, anything by Thom Yorke is fine by me.

Given the success of the bands from the 60s & 70s, like Roxy Music, Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin; how do think they would fare if they were just starting out today? (Tom B)

A unique band is always a unique band, e.g. Radiohead, Arcade Fire, White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys… There’s a connection between today’s bands and the great bands of the ’60s and ’70s. It’s about the chemistry between the individual and the quality of the ideas.

Which one album or song could you not live without? (Luis G)

‘Rubber Soul’ and ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’.

Do you feel that knowing how to read music is the best way to get started? (Jan)

No, I feel the notes get in the way for Rock and Roll. You need to train your ear.

What is the most valuable piece of information you have learned working in the music industry? (Cemet Nosce)

Remember to keep the music at the centre of everything.

If you’re somewhat baffled, then Name That Tune was an old television quiz show where contestants had to identify a song title after hearing just a few bars of music.

We’re doing it with pictures instead.

Dare you hazard a guess as to which song David is playing above?

You can click on the image for a closer look, if it helps.

If you haven’t yet sent in your question for David, then you’re slowly running out of time. The deadline is this coming Friday at 5PM (UK).

Please click here to leave your question at the right place – and do be sure to read the rules first. They’re right at the top of the page. You can’t miss them. (Well, some of you clearly are missing them…)

I need to know your real name and whereabouts. Leave this information out and your question will not be considered.It really is that simple.

These are questions from anyone in Europe, and anyone due to attend a cinema where ‘Remember That Night’ is being shown on Thursday 6 September only, don’t forget.

The questions for the North American premiere – on Saturday 15 September – have been chosen and will be announced, along with the European ones, towards the end of next week – at the very earliest.

However, please be aware that not all shortlisted questions will be used on the night. This is due to the cinemas requiring some flexibility. Consequently, even if your question is chosen and you send in your video, audio and photo, there is a chance that your question, unfortunately, will not be used. Obviously, this is out of my hands.

I just wanted to make that clear up front, so that everyone knows the deal.

The same applies for both UK & Europe and North American premieres.

There’s a new poll about the Q&A sessions, so do cast your vote.

The chatroom is open tomorrow between 4PM and 6PM (UK).

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: EXTRA VENUE, SWEDEN

Another venue has just been added to the list for Sweden: Torslanda.

That makes a total of 15 Swedish cinemas.

Please click here for full details and to order your tickets.

As you are no doubt aware, David’s new DVD, ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live at The Royal Albert Hall’, will be premiered in Europe and North America next month.

This means 85 glorious minutes from the concert in the technological sweet shop that is a modern cinema environment.

As if that wasn’t enough, it will be broadcast to all participating cinemas, in High Definition, live via satellite from London.

And is if that’s not enough to whet your appetite, David is also going to be performing one live song (on electric guitar) and taking part in a live Q&A… which you can be involved in.

From today, I want your questions for David.

I’ve already had an absolute bagful of questions from fans for the North American Q&A – thanks very much – and the ‘best’ have now been chosen, so please don’t bother sneaking in another one here.

I only want questions for the UK & Europe premiere now.

So, if you’re in Europe, or if you will be going to see ‘Remember That Night’ at one of the cinemas in Europe, do send in a question.

All I ask is that it has nothing to do with Pink Floyd reunions, tribute bands or your demos, and that you keep it short and sweet.

As before, you may only submit one question each. In the interest of fairness, should you send in a list of questions, all will be considered ineligible. Indeed, the only entries that will be considered eligible will be presented exactly as follows.

Please copy and paste the following into the comment form below. You don’t need to give your full name or address. This information will be published for all to see, so please only add what you feel comfortable with sharing, but I do need a real name and region.

Real name:
Town/city, county and country:

I will/will not (please specify) be attending a participating European cinema. (Tell us which one, if you want to.)

Question:

You have until Friday 24 August at 5PM (UK) to submit your question. No questions will be considered after this time, so please don’t leave it until the last minute and miss out on this opportunity.

This next bit is obvious, but very important: Please do not send a question unless you are happy to record yourself asking it. Remember that your videos will be played at cinemas right across Europe. Everybody present at this cinema event will see, and hear, you – including David. He will then answer your question.

BBC Radio 2 will also be broadcasting some of the questions on the night, so everyone will be able to ‘tune in’ online.

If you are not prepared to do this, which is perfectly understandable, please do not submit a question.

Tickets are still available for this exciting event, which takes place on Thursday 6 September in Europe. For full details, see previous entries concerning Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK.

There are some tickets left for the UK & Europe premiere at London’s Leicester Square, which is where David will be, but I don’t expect them to be there for long.

If you’ll be going to Leicester Square and want to meet fellow fans before the event, please see details of the meet-up that is arranged from 5PM at the Imperial pub on Leicester Street. Everyone is welcome, so do add your name to the list.

And please do keep clicking the button below to vote this the Best Music Blog. I am open to bribery. (I’m not really.)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: DENMARK

News just in that there will be just one cinema showing ‘Remember That Night’ in Denmark (Copenhagen).

I have a nice surprise for fans in Austria this evening.

I’m delighted to be able to tell you that six cinemas will be sharing the ‘Remember That Night’ experience on Thursday 6 September.

They are:

- Cineplexx GRAZ,
Theatre 6, 8055 Graz, Alte Poststraße 470

Tickets will be priced at €20 and go on sale on Friday 24 August. They are available at the cinemas and also online.

At each cinema involved in this event, you can see 85-minutes of footage, from the Royal Albert Hall concerts of last May, premiered in High Definition a week before it’s released on DVD. As well as the concert footage, David will also be performing one song live and taking part in a Q&A. All this will be broadcast, live via satellite, from London.

It’s going to be a wonderful event and I hope you’re looking forward to it as much as we are.

I also hope that this news encourages many more fans to submit a question for David when I invite questions for the UK & Europe Q&A on Monday. I’d love questions from fans from all over Europe.

You don’t have to be attending one of the cinema shows to qualify. The only rule is that you only send in one question and that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Pink Floyd reunions, tribute bands or demo recordings.

Tickets are still available for participating cinemas in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. There are just a few tickets left for the UK & Europe premiere at London’s Leicester Square, however.

There has been one addition to the list of participating venues in Sweden: Nynäshamn. Although it has not yet been added to the FHP website, click here for booking details.

There was an earlier entry today, so be sure to read the one before this one.

Have a good weekend, all.
