Pink Floyd: The Wall Director Alan Parker Dies At Age 76

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

British director, Alan Parker has passed away at the age of 76.

It was reported that he had been suffering from an unnamed long term illness.

Parker is well known for directing the Pink Floyd: The Wall that had raving reviews. Variety had once described the film as “an eye-popping dramatization of an audio storyline. Being a visual translation of a so-called ‘concept’ album, pic works extremely well in carrying over the somber tone of the LP.”

Afterwards, Parker went on to earn the second of two Oscar nominations for his 1988 film, Mississippi Burning and was similarly honoured for the iconic 1978 Midnight Express. He also went on to direct the The Commitments and Evita (1996).

Roger Waters - Hello In There (John Prine Cover w/ Lucius)

In 2017 Roger Waters took to the stage with American Singer Songwriter John Prine, Newport Folk Festival has a 60-year history of giving artists a place to play, collaborate, and speak to the times. It has been a megaphone for not one singular voice, but many.

Saddly in April 2020 John very saddly passed away due to the effects of the current world Covid-19 Pandemic.

Through the wonders of technology and live streaming and although this year there is no physical stage, the spirit of the Newport Folk Fest continues on through a film called Our Voices Together which is a collection of original performances and an ending Newport fans expect each year: A moment of togetherness. Which has been put together by Josh Coleman.

You can watch Roger’s Performance which features the dashingly beautiful and talented Lucius, Which i am sure many of you will be familiar with as a permanent member of the Roger Waters Touring band since 2016.

The Film itself is available to watch online for a limited time only by clicking this link

David Gilmour to release first new single in five years (Yes, I Have Ghosts) with Polly Samson audiobook release

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

David Gilmour has announced that he will be releasing his first new song in five years via the release of Polly Samson’s new audiobook, A Theatre for Dreamers.

I’m amazed if a collaborative words and music audiobook hasn’t been done before but am thrilled with how this has worked out. Sad for the actor who had to pull out but Polly Samson’s narration surprised us all and it’s been a great project for me during lockdown to also add some instrumental passages between chapters and to record the A Theatre for Dreamers inspired song, Yes, I Have Ghosts, with the help of our daughter, Romany.

To listen to Yes, I Have Ghosts, as well as the above mentioned instrumental tracks, you’ll need to pick up the A Theatre for Dreamers audiobook on June 25th.

The single will get a wider release a week later on July 2nd. Be sure to check back in with AFG to listen along and discuss with fellow Floyd fans on our community forum.

Enjoy, and remember to stay safe!

Pink Floyd Launch Evolving Playlist on Spotify and YouTube

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

Pink Floyd have launched a new playlist on Spotify and YouTube, with new tracks being added each day.

Syd, Roger, Richard, Nick and David

Titled “Syd, Roger, Richard, Nick and David” the playlist kicked off with Us & Them Live at the Empire Pool in Wembley 1974, from the Dark Side of the Moon Experience and Immersion sets. Since then a number of tracks have been added from the Floyd’s 60s output, along with Fearless from Meddle.

While more hardcore Floyd fans would have heard most of these tracks (and likely own multiple versions of them), it seems like a good spot for newcomers or returning fans to hop in.

Remember to check the playlist each day to see what new track has been added.
