Rockonteurs Returns. This is the one we have all been waiting for. We are delighted to welcome our friend David Gilmour to the podcast. Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt join David onboard his beautiful studio ‘Astoria’ on the banks of the river Thames for a fascinating conversation about the history of the studio, and the brand-new David Gilmour album ‘Luck and Strange’ which is out now, and of course Guy plays on this record again.
This is David’s first and only podcast and so we are delighted he could join us. You can also watch the entire interview on our Rockonteurs YouTube channel.

Excellent interview
I would absolutely love to hear a Collab with David, Romany and Romain Axisa or Ren Gill
Really refreshing not to have to sit through the same interview we've all seen with David a million times, and I'm sure David enjoyed it as well. he has so much more to talk about than just the troubles with the band and Syd and all that stuff. Really cool to finally see him get a chance to do just that. You know he's sick of telling the same stories over and over again- and I'm sure they open old wounds to some degree. It's cool to learn Momentary Lapse of Reason was recorded here- remember how the album opened? With some guy rowing a boat- and there were several other references to rivers and water on the album. I wonder if the places it was recorded had any influence on all that. I'm guessing it did, even if it wasn't conscious on their part.
Awesome interview!
saw Steve Gadd in NZ with a local Jazz band in NZ. Awesome drummer great to see him on this
It's a fantastic album! I love it to death, and this is a great interview about the album.
DG lets the music do the talking
such a LEGEND of my generation
Thanks :-))
It seems live electrical music sound is lost
at 42:22 that was so funny when Gary brought up the heartbeat sound in the song, he must've thought David was trying to say they were having
a new baby. and David's expression was great 😮
Super cool guy. 😎
Glad you finally got him on. Good chat, fellas.
Thank you for providing the soundtrack to my life.
David Gilmour is a sound-out man, in my opinion. I worked for him as an employee of a Herefordshire based Company, at his grounds, planting a wooldland from scratch some years ago. David was naturally pleasantly engaging with us all, until the day when he gave-out because T was found wandering, unattended, down the drive-way, toward the main road. David naturally assumed that the, 'Keep This Gate Closed', sign on the gate had been ignored and that the gate had been left off it's latch. No-one knew who'd made the error, but we were all gutted. On the following day, David called us all together to offer his sincere apologies. On surveying recorded security camera footage, it transpired that T had climbed the gate on his own: remarkable in itself, considering T's age at that time. That gesture, for us, demonstrated that David was sound-out. I hope that your woodland is doing well David. God bless you and yours👍
Love the new album David…Well done to everyone involved…😎😎😎👋👋
Great. 👍
I love how Gary asks the pertinent question of how Guy survived as a member in David's band, and David just goes "well, he's just jolly".
let him talk.
Kingskins !!!!
Fascinating to hear David talk about making records. The man who has been the biggest inspiration in sonics to so many. Definitely my biggest along with the people who also were a part like Alan Parsons, Rick Wright, etc
42:07 LOL 😉
Let's hope you can celebrate a Trump victory!!
It's fun to see the myths and, as David said himself, apocryphal stories being put right "straight from the horse's mouth".
A "concept" is so contrived. It's so much better when things organically emerge and take shape. It becomes too formulaic otherwise.
Fantastic 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Back during Lockdown Licks with Guy, he said he was going to ask David about Raise My Rent & What Do You Want From Me. Never heard of he did ask or it's just a boring story.
