City Wakes 2 In London Confirmed You may recall we reported last year that the organisers of The City Wakes were considering holding another event in London this year, following on from the success of the Cambridge event that was held in 2008. The good news is that the London event has now been confirmed for November. The exhibition of art, photography and letters will be bigger and better than the last 'City Wakes'. Again, the organisers have the support of Syd's sister, Rosemary and pledges from several old friends of Syd's to show previously unseen pieces. There are also pledges to loan two considerable collections of letters. The intention is to mount the most comprehensive display of Syd's work, and to provide some serious art interpretation. There will be twice the gallery space as previously, and more innovative and attractive display techniques. Keep tuned for more information as we get closer to the event.

Roger Records Old Classic Roger sprung a surprise on listeners of the Jim Ladd show show on 95.5 KLOS in Los Angeles last week (18 Jan), when he produced a recording (made by him just days before) of the old classic protest song We Shall Overcome. The song was originally published in 1947 has been covered by many artists since, with perhaps the best known version being by Joan Baez in the 1960's. Roger has of course been an outspoken critic on the plight of Palestinians living in the shadow of Israel's controversial separation barrier and more recently has slammed the attack made on the people of Gaza by Israeli armed forces and the ongoing 'illegal siege' (Roger's words). He fully supported the historic Gaza Freedom March on 31 December, concluding his remarks about the march with "We Shall Overcome". We wouldn't be surprised to see Roger's version of this song being used in some way to support his views on the Palestinian situation.

Roger Waters The Wall Tour 2010 & 2011 We continue to receive a steady stream of enquiries asking the latest on the possible Wall tour that Roger is contemplating taking out later this year (and probably 2011). All we can do is to advise you that the moment any news breaks you will read about it on AFG. We know this is building tremendous excitement (The Pink Floyd Forum can hardly contain itself!) and you do have our word that we are keeping nothing from you.
