Join us here on David’s YouTube channel at 5pm BST / 12pm ET tomorrow (Friday) to celebrate the release of Luck and Strange with David and the band performing tracks from the album (and maybe an old favourite…) live at tour rehearsals.

*ABOUT LUCK AND STRANGE*
‘Luck and Strange’ was recorded over five months in Brighton and London and is Gilmour’s first album of new material in nine years. The record was produced by David and Charlie Andrew, best known for his work with ALT-J and Marika Hackman. Of this new working relationship, David says, “We invited Charlie to the house, so he came and listened to some demos, and said things like, “Well, why does there have to be a guitar solo there?” and “Do they all fade out? Can’t some of them just end?”. He has a wonderful lack of knowledge or respect for this past of mine. He’s very direct and not in any way overawed, and I love that. That is just so good for me because the last thing you want is people just deferring to you.”

The majority of the album’s lyrics have been composed by Polly Samson, Gilmour’s co-writer and collaborator for the past thirty years. Samson says of the lyrical themes covered on ‘Luck and Strange’, “It’s written from the point of view of being older; mortality is the constant.” Gilmour elaborates, “We spent a load of time during and after lockdown talking about and thinking about those kind of things.” Polly has also found the experience of working with Charlie Andrew liberating, “He wants to know what the songs are about, he wants everyone who’s playing on them to have the ideas that are in the lyric informing their playing. I have particularly loved it for that reason.”

The album features eight new tracks along with a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ ‘Between Two Points’ and has artwork and photography by the renowned artist Anton Corbijn.

Musicians contributing to the record include Guy Pratt & Tom Herbert on bass, Adam Betts, Steve Gadd and Steve DiStanislao on drums, Rob Gentry & Roger Eno on keyboards with string and choral arrangements by Will Gardner. The title track also features the late Pink Floyd keyboard player Richard Wright, recorded in 2007 at a jam in a barn at David’s house.

Some contributions emerged from the live streams that Gilmour and family performed to a global audience during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021; Romany Gilmour sings, plays the harp and appears on lead vocals on ‘Between Two Points’. Gabriel Gilmour also sings backing vocals.

The album’s cover image, photographed and designed by Anton Corbijn, is inspired by a lyric written by Charlie Gilmour for the album’s final song ‘Scattered’. Of working with his family on ‘Luck and Strange’, David says, “Polly and I have been writing together for over thirty years and the Von Trapped live streams showed the great blend of Romany’s voice and harp-playing and that led us into a feeling of discarding some of the past that I’d felt bound to and that I could throw those rules out and do whatever I felt like doing, and that has been such a joy.”

*ABOUT DAVID GILMOUR*

A Cambridge friend of Syd Barrett, David joined Syd, with Roger Waters, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason, in Pink Floyd in early 1968, only for Syd to leave the group five gigs later. Pink Floyd's subsequent huge worldwide success continued after Roger Waters' departure in 1985, with the albums A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both charting at No. 1 in the UK and the US, and sell-out world tours. Rattle That Lock released in 2015 and David’s 4th solo album, went to No. 1 in 13 countries. In 2017, Live at Pompeii released as a live album and film which was recorded at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii.

I like seeing David Gilmour, family and friends having a good time making good music. I feel like after all he has been through in his musical life, to still be able to smile and laugh is a precious gift.

There's something very wrong with the ticketing system that if you miss out buying tickets as soon as they're on sale, your only market option is the likes of Viagogo, where prices for the RAH London shows are currently £1600 to £2400 FOR ONE TICKET!! Clearly, many purchases are made with the 100% intention of making a 1000% -plus profit. Having seen Floyd/David Gilmour shows (even met him through work a couple of times) numerous times since The Wall at Earls Court in 1980, I cannot afford and simply will not pay £1600. The current Oasis debacle too highlights that the whole process of fans being able to buy tickets at their face value is busted. There must be some way in the digital age of making sure that tickets officially sold are tied ID-wise to the purchaser and their nominated guest(s) and those who subsequently can't make it have to put their ticket number back into the official ticket pot for a face-value refund.

Nice to see his daughter Romany, Guy Pratt base, Greg Phillingaines Keys, ( Micheal Jackson former music director) who said in 1994 after seeing "Pulse" that these guys are on a different level.

Listening now and im loving it, a feel created by a life experienced Dave. Its always a joy to hear what you have to say and what your heart feels. The emotions you express, along with the awareness of them ARE my hope in humanity. Thank you for breathing life back into me every day. You just keep on giving, love you.

If you look closely at when they pan over to the drums you can see the ones used on “Time” so I guess we can safely assume he’ll be playing that one…

I hope the tour is recorded somewhere. Can't get to any of them this time as the London shows are all on the week I'm on holiday in Iceland - I wish David had checked with me first before booking those dates! 🤣🤣 Good to see that Romany will be joining the tour. I really liked the Between Two Points song and would like to see a live version of that.
