Just popping in..



Hello all
Just thought I’d pop in. Sorry I’ve been so remiss..
Had a mad bout of travel after Australia, includ­ing a trip to Switzerland to do 2 shows with Jon Lord and a 100 piece Orchestra. Splendid fun, I love play­ing with Jon..
Nothing much hap­pening for a while, so just hun­kering down at home and try­ing not to get depressed about the weather..
Although I sup­pose there’s much to be pleased about with the new shape of the world post-​​Obama…
pip pip!
Guy

    Hi,

    I can see that you are very busy, do you past a good Christmas Holiday?

    I saw the pre­vi­ous post and I would like come to see you at the “20th Theatre” but for my mis­for­tune I can not come in London 🙁

    I’m in the same sit­u­a­tion about weather in my coun­try… it’s trans­mit depres­sion.

    About the world post-Obama, I don’t know… but we can only wait and see…

    Bye Bye
    Lorenzo.

  2. karen - January 23, 2009 5:22 PM

    after­noon Guy,

    seems i may be able to attend ’ Notting Good Taste 2

    how­ever i wont be able to lis­ten to your radio show, how bad is that i am in lon­don and have no way of actally lis­ten­ing the show

  3. Caroline - January 23, 2009 6:15 PM

    Hello, hello Guy!

    I hate to say that I too won’t be able to attend ‘Notting Good Taste 2’…not unless I can pull a ‘Marty Hopkirk’ and ‘blink’ my way to London from my abode here in Virginia. 😉 And that said, I obvi­ously would adorn the audi­ence with my pres­ence if I could…but the best I can do for now is wish you noth­ing but the best for you and the show. 🙂

    Speaking of shows, I have to con­fess that I did­n’t lis­ten to all of your Planet Rock show this past Sunday…I ended up record­ing it, and am hop­ing to finally lis­ten to it tonight. Been ridicu­lously busy lately…but I think that will some­what sub­side a lit­tle now, and will cer­tainly do my best to lis­ten to your show live this upcom­ing Sunday.

    As for the weather…I don’t think it could get any worst than being in the teens-sin­gle dig­its for DAYTIME tem­per­a­tures like it did here over the last cou­ple of weeks!! *shiv­ers* Usually, I like the colder weather months more than warm, but that very much got me clam­our­ing for Spring to arrive here ASAP.

    - Caroline

  8. Peter Harold - February 6, 2009 8:06 PM

    Hi there, Mr. Pratt!

    I am look­ing for an ambi­ent sound­track that I heard in a (BBC?) TV-broad­cast that was cred­ited to you. I won­der if you have made this track (and sim­i­lar music) pub­lic for lis­ten­ers? I also would like to know more about its record­ings.

    I also won­der if there was any record­ings left after your father-in-law, men­tioned as his third solo album. I hope you does­n’t mind I am ask­ing it in this blog.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Best regards,
    Peter Harold,
    Sweden

  10. Caroline - February 23, 2009 1:37 AM

    I’m sad to say that I am not really expect­ing a response to this, but as they say, if ya don’t ask…

    Does any­one here hap­pen to have the first half of today’s episode of Guy’s Planet Rock show recorded? I recorded the show due to my being out and about all after­noon, and either the PR player or Audacity screwed up. Either way, I’ve got only the last 54 min­utes of the show… *sighs*

    If any­one does have the show, at least the first half, please e‑mail me at mandala4444@​gmail.​com.

    BTW, in what I’ve heard of the those 54 min­utes, awe­some that you played Little Feat, Guy. 🙂 Actually wild you did that, con­sid­er­ing that for some rea­son a day or two ago, I was think­ing it would be cool if you played Lowell George and Co…

    - Caroline

  11. Thomas Robinson - February 24, 2009 4:24 PM

    Caroline i’m afraid i did­n’t record the show but i thought this might help:

    http://​medi​aweb​.mus​i​cra​dio​.com/​p​l​a​y​e​r​/​d​e​f​a​u​l​t​.​a​s​p​?​s​=​47&​e=0

    It’s the old planet rock web player, and the lis­ten again fea­ture still gets updated but there’s no link to it from planet rock’s web­site for some rea­son. Sorry if it’s no bet­ter than what you’ve already got.

  12. Bran - February 24, 2009 8:20 PM

    Hello Guy!

    Any news from the Gilmour camp?

    2006 is ancient his­tory.
    Those barn jam bits sounded quite promis­ing…

    Cheers!

  13. Caroline - February 24, 2009 9:06 PM

    Thomas!! You’re awe­some!! That is GREAT!!!! And not just from the stand­point of sit­u­a­tions like mine, but also gen­eral listening…I don’t know what Planet Rock thought was wrong with the old player in the first place. To be hon­est, I have not been enam­ored with the new player since it has been implemented…it’s a huge pain to record from when I can’t be avail­able to lis­ten. And when I do try to lis­ten live, I am often forced to reset the player (annoy­ingly Windows Media Player based…there’s a rea­son I pre­fer just about any other media player over that stoopid thing) at least once, if not twice dur­ing the pro­gram. I never, NEVER had any of those prob­lems with the old player.

    Anyway, I can’t thank you enough, Thomas…I’m book­mark­ing that sucker when I get home from work.

    - Caroline

  14. Phoenix - February 25, 2009 12:24 AM

    Thomas, you’re a life­saver! I’ve been miss­ing that Listen Again fea­ture some­thing fierce. Wish I’d known about it last month, else I’d’ve kept my oth­er­wise per­fect record in catch­ing the show.

    Cheers.

  15. Karen - February 25, 2009 6:31 PM

    I have to say thank you Thomas as well, as I have ended up miss­ing a few shows.

  16. Thomas Robinson - February 25, 2009 7:11 PM

    I’m glad that the link proved to be use­ful. I would’ve posted it ear­lier but i only dis­cov­ered it still worked a few days ago when i was sort­ing out some old book­marks that i had­n’t used in a while.

    What i don’t under­stand is why it’s updated but planet rock don’t put a link to it on their web­site.

  17. James - February 26, 2009 2:13 AM

    Hey Guy,

    Wondering if you got a call from Iva to do a gig in a few weeks?
    Icehouse are reform­ing for a Charity gig to raise money for the Bushfire and Flood vic­tims.

    Cheers

  18. Guy - February 27, 2009 8:46 PM

    James

    I haven’t been asked to do the bush­fire gig, but then it does­n’t make much sense to fly some­one round the world when the idea is to raise money..

  19. Lawrence - February 28, 2009 12:45 PM

    Hey Guy
    Your may have a good point there Guy it may not make much sense, BUT I do live in hope of the day when Mr Davies needs to top up his retire­ment fund and reforms Icehouse with your fan­tas­tic tal­ent in the Icehouse engine room one more time.
    Love them or hate them the 80’s were the decade when the bass crept out of the closet.
    I for one would love to hear that haunt­ing bass of The Mountain and those smooth phat bass lines of Stay Close Tonight and Dusty Pages but to name a few one more time LIVE.
    And Guy ques­tion any plans of com­ing down to Adelaide again for the next Guitar Festival?
    Regards
    Lawrence

  20. Ed Lopez - March 23, 2009 7:36 PM

    Hey Guy,

    Good to see Planet Rock got their “Listen Again” func­tion work­ing again — it was busted for some time after the web­site changed. Given the time dif­fer­ence between the US and the UK it’s not always easy for us to catch your show live.

    I hope you’re well — I don’t think we’ve seen you post any­thing on your blog for a while.

    Ed

  21. Phoenix - March 28, 2009 5:29 AM

    Just a note here, but I got a lovely email from Planet Rock say­ing Guy’s show is mov­ing to Fridays from 810 UK time. It did­n’t say when the change was tak­ing place (was­n’t tonight), but just an FYI for any­one who isn’t on PR’s mail­ing list.

    Cheers,
    Nix.

  22. Karen - April 6, 2009 10:30 AM

    Is any­body able to let me know, if Mr Pratt’s show was on at new time last Friday night ?

    Thank you.

  23. Phoenix - April 6, 2009 8:11 PM

    Yep, it was. It should be on the now-work­ing Listen Again fea­ture.

  24. Karen - April 7, 2009 2:34 AM

    Um, alas it is not

  25. Karen - April 8, 2009 11:52 AM

    Oh, it is under Friday, at time 27:00, of course !

  26. mrdamo123 - April 8, 2009 2:34 PM

    Hi Guy

    I have been a big fan of your work since lis­ten­ing to that first Dream Academy album and you inspired me to take up the bass about 15 years ago. When you get a moment, please check­out my skills at http://​www​.youtube​.com/​m​r​d​a​m​o​123

  27. Luke Willoughby - April 10, 2009 2:10 AM
