Taken By Storm - Brisbane We recently made a visit to Brisbane to check out Storm Thorgerson's Taken By Storm exhibition in Fortitude Valley and came away suitably impressed! Check out our Exclusive Report
David Gilmour & Kate Moss David Gilmour appeared alongside Supermodel Kate Moss last Thursday (18 June) and performed George Gershwin's standard Summertime. It was all in aid of charity of course, with proceeds from the event going to children's projects in Palestine. David & Kate hauled in an impressive £47,600 which was raised from the audience who placed bids for each act to perform. Other acts included Jamie Hince & Lily Allen, Suggs, David Walliams, Will Self & more.Full Story
Mind
Over Matter Opens In Ely Storm Thorgerson has been busy with
his traveling exhibitions lately. Not content to have his 'Taken
By Storm' exhibition running in Brisbane Australia (see story below)
his equally popular 'Mind Over Matter' show has just opened at the Babylon
Gallery, Ely, where around 40 Pink Floyd photos are on display.
Ely is a beautiful, compact cathedral city, and just over an hour from
London by train - well worth a visit! An added attraction is an award
winning tea shop right next door to the gallery... 
Tear
Down The Wall - Roger Waters Roger Waters has said that he would
give a concert in a flash if Israel's West Bank wall is torn down.
Roger, who has been visiting Israel and Palestine, made the promise
Tuesday (2 June) during a visit to a Palestinian refugee camp that
is hemmed in by the separation barrier's tall slabs of cement. Roger
had harsh words for the West Bank barrier, which Israel says was built
as a defense against Palestinian militants. Roger says the wall
amounts to an oppressive grab of Palestinian land and that he hopes
that ''this thing, this awful thing, is destroyed soon.'' This isn't
the first time Roger has spoken out against the West Bank wall, on
21 June
2006 he visited Bethlehem and spray-painted the words
'No Thought Control' (pictured) on a section of the security fence.
Whilst in Israel Roger visited a former
movie theater in Jenin. (Cinema Jenin, was shut down in 1987 and
is being reopened as a film school). He also visited the Sam Spiegel
Film and Television School in Jerusalem, to show his support for the
institution and to encourage cooperation between the Spiegel School
and Cinema Jenin. UPDATE You
can now see a video of Roger's talk at the Sam Spiegel Film & Television
School in Jerusalem. In it Roger slams the Israeli occupation, saying
the Palestinians 'don't have a pot to piss in'. Check out this controversial
video. Part
