DAVE GILMOUR - DAVE GILMOUR TO PERFORM WITH FLOYD TRIBUTE BAND

Dave Gilmour is set to perform ATOM HEART MOTHER live this month - with a PINK FLOYD covers band.

The instrumental piece from the legendary band's fifth album - and first UK Number One - is being performed as part of the Chelsea Festival at Cadogan Hall on June 14th and 15th by its co-composer Ron Geesin.

A ten-piece ensemble from The Royal College Of Music, cellist Caroline Dale, 40-strong chorus Canticum and Italian Pink Floyd tribute band Mun Floyd are to make up the show.

However, Geesin has revealed that PINK FLOYD guitarist Gilmour has agreed to take part in the second performance scheduled for June 15th.

The Atom Heart Mother Suite is a six-part instrumental that featured on side one of the band's album ATOM HEART MOTHER.

Elsewhere, Gilmour recently refused to rule out the possibility of another PINK FLOYD reunion, hinting that they may reform for a one-off date.
