David, by Jessica

I've been really impressed with the quality of some of the things you've recently submitted, be they photographs, paintings, sketches or drawings. (That's if a sketch differs from a drawing. Does it?)

This one's by Jessica. Please click it for a closer look.

Thanks for sharing it with us, Jessica.

If you have anything that you think would look good here, please send it in. Just get it online and let me know where it is by including the URL with your comment.

It has to be of some relevance, of course.

I'll be adding my favourite works of fan art regularly, along with your equally charming photographs.

Have a good weekend, everyone. See you on Monday; either here, or in the chatroom, which will be open between 14:00 and 16:00 (UK).


David and the band salute the extraordinary Polish crowd, 26 August 2006

We did it for the 'Remember That Night' DVD a few months before it was released, so it's only right that we do it now for David's forthcoming live album. (Note the deliberate ambiguity of that opening line, won't you? It's still on for a September release... hopefully, by the way.)

Just for fun, please share just one wish for this live package.

That's one wish, as hard as it may be to select only one. It would be nice to know what you're hoping for more than anything else.

You know the title, have already seen the cover, and are hopefully curious about the documentary that is said to be included in some shape or form.

The chatroom will be open from 12:00 (UK) tomorrow, should you care to drop by.

This one has sod-all to do with David's guitar-playing, you may be pleased to know.

What were the last five gigs that you attended?

Concerts, plays, stand-up routines, even good old panto, we'd love to know what you've seen lately. (Alas, this is not an excuse to promote your band, or any Pink Floyd tribute bands, don't forget. Sorry.)

Feel free to also include the next five, if you think that would be more interesting.

Finally, continued thanks to everyone that had a go at compiling a double album of David's best guitar work recently (Random Nonsense #4, 28 April). It wasn't easy, I know (having given up so easily), particularly the whole trying-to-get-the-tracks-to-segue-together bit, but you've done brilliantly.

You can still send in your list, if you wish, here.

The 'Live in Gdańsk' cover

Here's a first peek at what will be the cover of David's 'Live in Gdańsk' album, due to be released, it is hoped, sometime in September.

Please click it for a closer look.

You can just about make out the large Solidarność banner at the foot of the stage, signifying the 26th anniversary of the founding of Solidarity, the inspirational trade union which helped defeat communism in Eastern Europe.

David was invited to help mark the occasion by Poland's former President and leader of Solidarity, Lech Wałęsa, and the Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz.

Do you like it? Your thoughts, as always, are welcome.

There's also a new tune from Wireman on the homepage today, so be sure to listen out for that.

Enjoy the extended weekend, if you have one. The Blog will be back on Tuesday, with the chatroom open from 15:00 (UK).

David on the cover of Guitarra Total magazine

Spanish magazine, Guitarra Total, has a six-page article about our David. Or his increasingly famous black Strat, to be more precise.

It's available to buy, should you require your own glossy copy, in Spain, Portugal and Mexico.

If your Spanish is up to it, or if you just like looking at the pictures, please click the magazine cover.

Many thanks to Manel for kindly scanning and sending this article.

The chatroom is closed today, but will be open tomorrow between 09:00 and 11:00 (UK).

Don't forget that part of 'Remember That Night' is on 3sat this afternoon...

And, as I know you're wondering, I'm sorry to say that there is still no update on the Signature Strat. When there is one, details will be here.
