On An Island, the new album from David Gilmour is released on March 6th.

On An Island is a collection of songs and instrumentals that had its genus in the critically acclaimed 2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his super-group to discover he's still at his peak - and he's rightly pleased.

"It's my best and most personal work" he says, "Making it with my musician friends has been a positive experience on so many levels." And touring it this spring can only take him to a new high.

The album, was produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera and Chris Thomas.

From today Friday Feb 24, 2006 you can view video clips of each track on the album exclusively on David's site. Each day a different clip will be posted. Don't miss this! Sign up today at www.davidgilmour.com !

- More David Gilmour Tickets Released! -

Your Prayers Answered – More Tickets!

As predicted in these pages, we have been able to release some tickets for London's Royal Albert Hall for production reasons. They will be going on sale via the Royal Albert Hall Box Office only, at 9AM on Monday 27th February.

There are tickets for every night (May 29, 30 & 31) in the 'choir' section of the stage, so will be behind the musicians – a unique viewpoint. A few (possibly 30 or so) for May 29 & 30 are in the Arena (in front of the stage), in Rows 13, 15 and 17.

Please do not purchase them if you don't think you will be happy with the seating. We try to help everyone but please remember that tickets are not returnable.

Please also note that the Albert Hall's policy of searching eBay and invalidating tickets for sale there, is still in force.

For anyone not resident in Britain, apologies that returns are only for UK dates. When we hear of others at any venue, we will post the news here straight away.

Billboard Question: You've recorded only three solo albums in 25 years. What triggered this one?

David Gilmour: "As well as the two previous solo albums there's been two Pink Floyd albums in '87 and '94. So while it is not very frequent, quite a lot of more work has gone on in the intervening period. I have remarried and had four more children and I have been enjoying bringing those children up. But in the last couple of years it felt it was time to start again and..."
