    Ferry album sounds great mate. Chris Spedding one of the boys…
    Hope you’re doing OK. I’ll try to catch you on the tour some­where. Just look for the hair com­rade!

    Saw you last night on ‘Live from Abbey Road’ with Mr G 🙂
    Excellent per­for­mance from a great band.

    That’s why we get the Big Bucks!’ 😀

    Looks like you all enjoy your­self!

    small f for ferry? tut tut 😉

  3. Andy - March 4, 2007 10:23 PM

    Hi Guy, just saw the docu on Ch4. I note you were using an Ashdown combo. I’m wrestling with an Ashdown ABM500 at mo; what set­tings did you use dur­ing the show?? Would be very grate­ful if you could let me know then I could try them and see if sounds bet­ter than the ones I’ve used thus far. Soz for the anorak type ques­tion! 🙂 Good luck with the tour.

  4. Renee - March 4, 2007 11:31 PM

    Good luck on tour and stay safe. HOpe the book is going good.

    Isn’t it bonny Scotland ?

    And where are we going ?

  6. Guy Pratt - March 5, 2007 5:01 PM

    My Ashdown set­tings aere just a bit over half for every­thing, no big secret..

    Well I’m going off on my own tour, details soon..

    xx

  7. lorraine - March 6, 2007 12:14 AM

    I’m look­ing for­ward to your very own tour.

  8. Phoenix - March 6, 2007 10:43 AM

    Just so long as it’s not a three hour tour, a three hour tour…

    (Yes, very sleep deprived at the moment…)

  9. Haris Varajic - March 7, 2007 1:56 AM

    Hi Guy!
    All the best about toor and book!
    I just read at one web por­tal that Brian Ferry will visit Sarajevo and make con­cert here. Can you con­firm that?
    It would be awsome, to meet you finally, and to hear gor­geous sound of “Betsy” live :))

  10. STEFANO - March 8, 2007 11:49 PM

    Hy Guy,

    I met you after the sec­ond show in Milan, out­side the hotel. We dis­cussed just a minute about my new Stingray.….the same colour that one of yours (Natural).
    Did you remem­ber me?
    Can you help me? I want to find a name for my bass.…do you have any sug­gest?

    Have a great time with Brian on tour!
    Hope to see you in Italy another time (alone or with “Uncle David”)

    Cheers
    Stefano.

    hi guy i met you at abbey rd with david gilmour it was the best day of my life thankyou for all you did and do with david and oth­ers enjoy your tour with mr ferry

    You’re the best!
    best wishes for this new tour…

  13. Sebastian - March 13, 2007 4:09 AM

    Hello Guy.
    How its going.
    Im from Argentina, and im very happy because this sat­ur­day i will see Roger Waters on stage. Wath do you think about him? Is he a good per­son? I think that Gilmour, Mason, Wrigth and Roger Waters too are more inter­ested in the money that in the music. I like pink floyd music to much.
    Is there any pos­si­bil­ity that David Gilmour comes to Argentina?
    Ok i think I have done to much ques­tions for this time.
    You now, I like very much the solo that yo do on One slip. Is that com­pli­cated? I play bass to.

    Sorry for the ortho­graphic mis­takes.
    If you want to mail me, my email is Sebla1989@​homail.​com
    hehe good wishes… Seba

    The echo of a dis­tant time
    Comes wil­low­ing across the sand
    And every­thing is green and sub­ma­rine

    Thats a good song hehehe
    good bye

    Adiós jejeje suerte Guy tu musica es exe­lente

  14. Nate - March 16, 2007 1:59 AM

    Hi Guy,

    Not sure if you have kept watch­ing ‘the show’
    It’s com­ing to an end like all good things must 🙁

    This one from a few days ago is made up of clips sent in from the com­mu­nity around it:
    http://​www​.zefrank​.com/​t​h​e​s​h​o​w​/​a​r​c​h​i​v​e​s​/​2007​/​03​/​031307​.​h​tml

    Caution it’s longer than ‘Echoes’ 😉

  15. Chris - March 16, 2007 4:58 PM

    I’m shoure you don’t need another wish­ing-of-good luck , cos you all­ready are a very lucky per­son, have a nice time on the tour.

    May I ask some­thing, you played gui­tar on Then I Clouse My Eyes in 2006 on David’s tour, I have never saw you on elec­tric gui­tar before, sorry, the ques­tion is:are you a very good gui­tar player?
    I also play the gui­tar, was won­der­ing what’s your favorite type of gui­tar? (brand, model…)

  16. Simon J - March 16, 2007 6:58 PM

    Just wanted to say hey. However there is a catch.…

    For this week­end only, Wales are play­ing England, so Good luck.….

    Cause you’ll need it!!

    All the best to you Guy. Fi dym Yn hoffi Lloegr. Work that one out Gilmour fans!!!!

    Simon J said: Fi dym Yn hoffi Lloegr.

    You hawked up a loo­gie?

    Work that one out, my Welsh friend. 😀

  18. Gabrielle Childers - March 17, 2007 5:02 PM

    Hello Guy!

    It’s been a while since I checked in with you. Looks as though you’re keep­ing pretty busy this month, eh? Hope you’re enjoy­ing the tour and we’re still look­ing for­ward to that book of yours as well as the com­edy tour to fol­low.

    Just a sug­ges­tion, try to arrange your com­edy tour sched­ule to be in the Seattle area some­where just before or after August 18, if you know what I mean (wink, wink)! I’ll have a cabin ready for you along with a few crazy blog­ger­folk from that ‘other’ web­site ready to hoist a pint in your honor!! Actually, most of them are Irregulars on your web­site as well aren’t they?

    Take care my friend! Peace!
    Gabrielle

  19. Thomas O'Connell - March 20, 2007 11:47 AM

    Hey Guy, Please come and relax at Gabreille’s resort on the 18th of August. Its our first Barnfest 2007. The peo­ple who will be there are from Davids web Site. You would love it She has cabins,Pool, Hot Tub and there will be a huge Barbeque. Plus it is located on a beau­ti­ful river with 40 plus acres of land to hike. I know you are on a buzy sched­ule. But if you can bring the fam­ily and chill out for a few days and do some great fish­ing. Take Care, Thomas

  20. Guy Pratt - March 20, 2007 6:01 PM

    I’d love to make the barn­fest but it may be a tad ambi­tious..
    xx
    Guy

  21. Phoenix - March 21, 2007 6:36 AM

    Thank you very kindly for con­sid­er­ing the invi­ta­tion, Guy. Please let us know if there’s any­thing we could do to help make it less ambi­tious, if you’re amenable.

    Nix.

  22. Angelo Ortiz - March 22, 2007 12:09 AM

    Still look­ing out for when you’re in town, dude. All the best from mostly sunny NYC.…

  23. Rudders - Toronto - March 26, 2007 7:57 PM

    Guy…

    Do you have an esti­mated date for when the book will be out?

    Looking for­ward to see­ing the show in Toronto some­time soon. I have a LOT of peo­ple inter­ested 🙂

  24. Rudders - Toronto - March 26, 2007 8:18 PM

    Guy…

    Some help­ful hints when in Scotland.

    1. Don’t refer to the locals as “Sweaties” as they tend to get upset. For those of you not accus­tomed to rhyming slang this means Sweaty Sock = Jock = Scottish Person

    2. They are kilts NOT skirts…

    Good luck 🙂

  25. Tomasz - March 28, 2007 8:22 PM

    Just came back home from Amsterdam,
    What a gig it was, I enjoyed every mintute there,
    I would like to thank you and to ask you to thank all Mr. Ferry band,
    It is dif­fi­cult to point highs and lows of the night because it was all time high,

    Thanks a lot,

    Tomasz

  26. animal - March 30, 2007 4:11 PM

    hi ,
    last night seen the bryan ferry show in antwerp ( i was the shiny bald cue­ball on the front row ) well best show of the decade , a danc­ing audi­ence and a lot of fun on stage , andy new­mark and the pratt guy makes faces to onean­other , lovely to see !
    thx for the fan­tas­tic night !!!

  27. Karen - April 5, 2007 1:37 AM

    Noticed you have updated tour dates with ’ your ’ tour.

    Nice.

  28. Renee - April 5, 2007 5:54 PM

  29. george hartselle - April 5, 2007 6:05 PM

    Guy
    I’ve read the reviews of your show and does­n’t it feel a bit strange to be rou­tinely referred to as self dep­re­cat­ing. It sounds as though you’re abus­ing your­self. But what would I know, I’m just a bass­player?

  30. Rudders - Toronto - April 5, 2007 8:00 PM

    Guy…Help!

    I’ve nearly fin­ished the sev­enth series of the West Wing on DVD and very soon there’ll be a big gap I’ll need to fill

    Sooo… maybe a show in Tornto will ease the pain? 🙂

    (Although a new series of the Trailer Park Boys starts next week)

  31. Guy Pratt - April 8, 2007 9:42 PM

    There’s self dep­re­cat­ing or arro­gant, and not a lot in between, I know which I’d rather be..

  32. steffen berster - April 9, 2007 5:07 PM

    hi guy, saw you per­form­ing in düs­sel­dorf. great audi­ence, wasn‘t it? 😉 great show as well. i was stand­ing first row and really had to laugh some times when you and andy inter­acted for exam­ple in “sim­ple twist of fate”…great lit­tle moments…good luck for the tour! (i got the set list from the stage engi­neer- why was vir­ginia plain on it- but not per­formed as an encore? would be a great addi­tion to the set…simply love the old roxy stuff!) cu stef­fen from ger­many

  33. Rudders - Toronto - April 13, 2007 1:32 PM
