He remains an active session guitarist, having appeared across the world at major festivals like Coachella and Glastonbury, venues like Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road, on TV shows like Jools Holland, BBC Breakfast and Le Grand Journal (in France) - working for labels like BMG, Decca, Polydor, Warner, Sony, Mercury, Universal, Ninja Tunes and Brownswood. In 2016, Quist will be releasing his first instrumental album Trigger, which features contributions from many of the top musicians he’s worked with over the past few years – including Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson), Dave De Rose (Mark Ronson), Cherisse Osei (Mika, Paloma Faith) and Magnus Fiennes (Shakira).

If you have the slightest interest in Pink Floyd, do not miss this group when they return to larger venues later this year. You won’t even need acid to blow your mind.” ✭✮✮✮✮ Michael Hann, Financial Times “The sound was immense, electrifying, galvanising, mesmerising and still deeply strange, bending the formats of primal rock into all kind of weird and wonderful shapes. From the warped garage rock opening of Interstellar Overdrive, Astronomy Domine and Lucifer Sam to the closing proto-shoe gaze blitz of One of These Days and bent musical hall wackiness of Point Me at the Sky, it was a set of such startling intensity it seemed to mock the very notion of nostalgia. It was enough to make you wonder whether rock has progressed very far at all since the Sixties. ✭✮✮✮ Neil McCormick, The Daily Telegraph T: @nickmasondrums / FB:www.facebook.com/NickMasonDrums T: @pinkfloyd / FB:www.facebook.com/pinkfloyd www.pinkfloyd.com For images please go to http://bit.ly/2JMteyE 25 May, 2018 - Following four intimate and acclaimed live shows at London’s Dingwalls (20 May) and The Half Moon in Putney (21, 23 and 24 May), Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets will be touring their unique live show of early Pink Floyd across Europe, including six shows in the UK.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

Med sig har han bland annat med medlemmar från Pink Floyd, King Crimson och Japan. Musiken är en alkemistisk blandning av liveinspelningar och studiopålägg där ordlös sång, glitchig electronica och drivande beats blandas med vågor från en surfgitarr. Resultatet är ett utmanande experiment som suddar ut gränserna mellan rock, jazz och prog samt förenar tio individuella röster med vitt skilda bakgrunder. 2010 års Jazz i Sverige-artist Samuel Hällkvist, uppvuxen i Dalarna och bosatt i Köpenhamn sedan 2008, har etablerat sig som en egensinnigt kreativ musiker och har tidigare arbetat med bland annat Tony Levin, David Torn och Mel Collins. Detta är det 25:e albumet som Hällkvist medverkar på, och det 5:e som bandledare. “Samuel Hällkvist is a unique and very interesting guitarist. His use of sound and choice of notes puts him in a class of his own.” – Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music) “I like the way Samuel Hällkvist ‘mangles’ his guitar sounds to produce the weirdest textures and glitches. His playing is always tasteful and integrated into the song – there’s no showiness or overplaying.” – Richard Barbieri (Japan och Porcupine Tree) "I love playing with Samuel.

  • Sommarläsning Med Livets Goda.Se: Roxy Musics Arv Märks Överallt
    Ur arkivet – sommarläsning med Livets Goda.se: Roxy Musics arv märks överallt Livets Goda.se går in i semestertider, vilket innebär att nyhetsflödet på hemsidan vilar under juli månad. Däremot: bjuder vi löpande på sommarläsning ur arkivet: I DAG ÄR BRYAN FERRY EN RÄTT FÖRUTSÄGBAR ARTIST. Han har sedan länge sitt patenterande sound, sin dandy-look, sitt lätt darrande vibrato och sina längtande låtar. Man kan till och med gå så långt som att kalla honom tråkig. Dessutom har han i sonen Otis lyckats avla en riktig fåntratt till brat, vars enda engagemang tycks ligga i kampen för rävjaktens bevarande. Annat var det på 70-talet när Roxy Musics musik och stilkänsla spreds som en löpeld över världen. ”För en tonåring i Dublin 1972 var det som om utomjordingar landat i TV-programmet Top Of The Pops” säger U2:s Bono i inledningen till More Than This, en timslång dokumentär om Roxy Music som nyligen släppts på DVD. Så var det nog. Inte nog med att bandets medlemmar var extremt klädda. Med sin popkonstmentalitet och vördnadsbefriade attityd till musikstilar bröt Roxy Music mot de flesta av rockens regler. Deras musik var en musikalisk motsvarighet till konstvärldens collage, på en och samma gång avig, elegant, depraverad, fantasieggande, poetisk, aggressiv, mystisk, dansant, genomtänkt, spontan och minutiöst producerad. Hårt rockande gitarrsolon kunde varvas med oväntade inslag av saxofon och oboe. I botten pumpade ett sanslöst driv signerat trummisen Paul Thompson, som hade Led Zeppelins John Bonham som hjälte – vilket hördes. Roxy Music införde glamour, dubbeltydigheter, postmodernism, experimentlusta och modemedvetenhet i en dittills jeans- och bluesdominerad rockvärd.
