poortgebouw

mercy giants at the poortgebouw in rotterdam, last night.

norwich

good news last night when john mailed me concerning an upcoming gig in a small theatre in norwich called the garage, which hosts a gig with tim bowness (of no-man fame), ben coleman (ditto), steven wilson (ditto), alongside michael bearpark and peter chilvers who both appear on no-man's together we're stranger. it's been announced that steven will be doing a solo gig, but a nice setting it is anyway. looking forward to this one. it's 16th june.

april

not as if nothing happened, a month plus passed since 12 march. where do i start? well. went to see another 3 gilmour gigs which were a lot more enjoyable than the first one. frankfurt was perfect, and the amsterdam shows turned out to be a big meet and greet with friends from past, present and future. i must, however, confess that i'm starting to run out of bandwith when it comes to floyd music. i could do without breathe and time for a few years. with no releases for the spring except a tour lp for fear falls burning, things were relatively calm on the tonefloat front. the lp was ready right in time for the european tour. went to see two gigs, one in belgium, one in eindhoven at the dynamo. both were very enjoyable. the first tidal wave of things happening is coming to a close with the annual floyd convention next sunday in zoetermeer. things are running and with two new bands, i'm looking forward to see them playing.
