Again at 10PM GMT on Monday the 17th on Radio 2. There is more Floyd, with the last interview with the late, "Richard Wright".

The fest on Radio 6 wasn't as it billed ..crap covers of Floyd tracks even sh*te rap crap of Money done by some crappers who made an album called, "Dub Side of the Moon" while the 2 prolific writers and lyricists, Roger (Syd) Barrett, and,(George) Roger Warters..were mainly ignored.

Playing that crap and not looking at Warters solo stuff was a travesty, "The Ballard of Bill Hubbard" is a very haunting track from Amused to Death, and, "Radio Waves"from Radio k a o s is crazy.................

[Drewski]

All the radio 2 stuff should be available to listen and DL on BBC Iplayer. Must get it on my HD so I can listen to it in the motor. BTW, the bloke I work for bought Syds last ever painting at the auction held here in Cambridge shortly after his death. He's no art critic though and I havn't the heart to tell him it's totaly shite

[rigwit]

There's a band called, "Think Floyd" they have a gig at Cambridge in November, they are great at Floyd's numbers I first seen them, when there were only 3 now they are a 4 piece band,and well worth seeing I guarantee if you buy a ticket to see them and you don't think they are good at Floyd. I will pay your ticket price back to you..........
