Planet Rock saved!!



Hi all
Well great news eh?
We all went and had a drink with Malcolm the new owner on Tuesday, and he seems a jolly good sort, who has bought the sta­tion for all the right rea­sons.
I’m glad a cou­ple of you noticed my prog mus­ings omis­sion last week, which I will try and do in the next show..It’s not all that though..
Also re the Gilmour Glastonbury story, I was con­tacted by David’s man­age­ment a few weeks ago and asked about my avail­ability for that week­end, when as luck would have it, I will actu­ally be per­forming my standup at…Glastonbury!!
I think the fact that it was such a late request is why it didn’t come off as all the slots had been filled, noth­ing more sin­ister…

    Very good news Guy!
    Your radio show is com­ing along nicely.
    You can give it that proper title now 😉

    Glastonbury? New mate­r­ial or more from ‘My Bass’?

    What are you doing next Sunday (15th) at 7pm? 😉

  2. Thomas Robinson - June 6, 2008 1:43 PM

    Nice ques­tion Nate. I did email Guy dur­ing his show about whether he would be there, play­ing or oth­ere­wise but he did­n’t read it out. Maybe we’ll get an extra sur­prise?

    So the glas­ton­bury rumours weren’t total rub­bish then? Which stage are you play­ing on because i went onto the glas­ton­bury line up web­site and i could­n’t find you on it.

  3. Phoenix - June 6, 2008 6:27 PM

    Excellent news re: Planet Rock. And hav­ing a gig at Glastonbury. 🙂

  4. Caroline - June 9, 2008 5:30 PM

    Yay about Planet Rock!! I was get­ting to the point where I was not too wor­ried about the future, not only gut feel­ing I had/​optimist I tend to be and all, but also that I found it inter­est­ing that the PR web­site remained nor­mal when it had been announced that PR had been sold.

    Great show as always yesterday…I have to con­fess that I ended up record­ing it, and lis­tened to it last night. I had com­pany over this week­end, and was quite worn out when they left yes­ter­day afternoon…and there­fore could­n’t help but get in some much needed nap/​meditation time.

    Can’t help but note that I really enjoyed the fact that you played Cream’s “White Room” for the first time ever on the show. Not only is that my most favorite song by them (IF I had to choose), but also hap­pens to be the clos­est thing to the very first com­plete bassline I’m learn­ing right now. 🙂

  5. Ed Lopez - June 10, 2008 3:51 AM

    Hey Guy.

    Since they moved your show to Sunday nights — Sunday after­noons for us Yanks on the East Cost — it’s been waaay eas­ier to catch your show live — instead of under “Listen Again”.

    On this side of the Atlantic we’re happy not only to be able to access your show dur­ing our off-time, we’re also happy that Planet Rock has a new owner… and a the promise of a “hap­pily ever after”.

    Keep up the good work Guy; we’re still wait­ing for you to come to this side of the Atlantic armed with your book, your bass, and your wit.

    Ed

    Very good news about Planet Rock.

  7. Nate - June 10, 2008 9:54 AM

    Have you seen ‘Band’ the appli­ca­tion that is due to be released on the iPhone next month?
    See a demo of it at 39:40 into the video of Apple’s WWDC Keynote which you can find here:
    http://​www​.apple​.com/​q​u​i​c​k​t​i​m​e​/​q​t​v​/​w​w​d​c08

    Interesting bass line they use… can’t quite place it… You may know it? 😉

  9. Karen - June 11, 2008 12:11 AM

    Hi Thomas,

    Yes, I am hav­ing same issue.

    I have a con­tact name at Planet Rock, I have emailed to ask about it.

  10. Simona Cecconato - June 11, 2008 7:28 PM

    Dear Guy

    my name is Simona, I’m 33 years old and I’m an ital­ian Interior designer.

    Recantly I dis­cov­ered your inter­est music and I’m going to adver­tise in Italy your tal­ent.

    Hereafter I’m going to fol­low your blog and music.

    Sorry.…my eng­lish is not good.

  13. RolFloyd - June 15, 2008 2:18 AM

    i was read­ing your lit­tle bio in Wikipedia and a fact i just read there left me cold. I am from Mexico, 30 years and here we used to have a group of three girls how sang in the mid-80´s called FLANS. The thing is that in wikipedia says that you played on an album with them in 1987 as a Session Bassist. Well, i still cant believe that fact, after play­ing since 1988 with the biggest Band of All and with the best gui­tar player since…ever. (that would be Pink Floyd). Have you been in Mexico? well, stu­pid ques­tion hence you were here in the DB tour in 1994. I think you are a hell of a bass player, and you seem to be a nice guy, Guy.

    if PF ever reunited again, and you tour with them, ihope you come to mex­ico a meet you in per­son. i will send you by mail a scanned image of an ALL AREA ACCESS pass of the DB tour when you came here in 94.

    See ya…
