#regram @pollysamson: We haven’t done any Von Trapped Family live stream planning today due to birthday but thinking we could show up on Facebook tomorrow at 7pm BST anyway and see how it goes. See you there for music, poetry and conversation? Got any questions for us?
I’m joining with musicians & music lovers to ask our government to provide support to the live music industry at this time of crisis. Please join me by sharing photos of the last pre-lockdown gig you went to, using #LetTheMusicPlay (Pics: Royal Albert Hall, 30 September 2016)

The video for my new song, Yes, I Have Ghosts (with lyrics by @pollysamson and harp/vocals from @romany.rose) is available now on YouTube.
#repost @pollysamson: Here’s Romany & @davidgilmour running through an old fave for tomorrow’s Von Trapped Family livestream (Thur, 7pm BST at facebook.com/davidgilmour).
We’ve decided to celebrate tomorrow’s worldwide release of my new song, Yes, I Have Ghosts, with another Von Trapped Family broadcast TONIGHT (Thursday). Send us your questions below and then join us on my Facebook page at 7.30pm UK time. 📷 @pollysamson
Our Von Trapped family (as @pollysamson has christened us) is back for a second #atheatrefordreamers live stream tomorrow (Thursday) at 8.30pm BST / 3.30pm ET. Here’s a little video of me rehearsing another Leonard song to play. We’ll see you tomorrow at facebook.com/davidgilmour
I’m amazed if a collaborative words and music audiobook hasn’t been done before but am thrilled with how this has worked out. Sad for the actor who had to pull out but @pollysamson’s narration surprised us all and it’s been a great project for me during lockdown to also add some instrumental passages between chapters and to record the A Theatre for Dreamers inspired song, Yes, I Have Ghosts, with the help of our daughter, @romany.rose. The audiobook is out on June 25.
To celebrate Thursday’s publication of @charliegilmour_insta’s wonderful book, Featherhood, we’re back with a special Von Trapped family live stream, at 7pm BST that evening, over on Facebook. Join us for an evening of birds and words (and perhaps some songs too). 📷 @romany.rose
My new song, ‘Yes, I Have Ghosts’ – featuring vocals and harp from @romany.rose Gilmour – is available to download & stream everywhere now.
Yes, I Have Ghosts – David’s first new song in five years – will be released on 7″ vinyl for Record Store Day Black Friday on 27th November. The limited edition single will be available exclusively from record shops worldwide. #RSDBlackFriday
Such a lovely thing to record the audiobook of A Theatre for Dreamers (which is out today) with @pollysamson, and that @romany.rose stepped in to help me finish our song Yes, I Have Ghosts – finding the blend of my voice with hers has been one of the best things about lockdown and I look forward to singing with her some more.
We filmed Thursday’s #ATheatreForDreamers book launch live stream on some better cameras (well, until they cut out) – and I’ve had a play with the audio. Here it is. Also, thanks for the kind words about the Leonard Cohen covers.
Here’s the hi-res of our Von Trapped Family livestream from Thursday night, which was a bit of a Syd special (with some fierce questioning from @charliegilmour_insta and @pollysamson!)
Here’s the high quality version of Thursday nigh’s live stream with @pollysamson. Next Thursday it will be 60 years to the day since Leonard Cohen stepped foot on Hydra and our Von Trapped family will be celebrating with one more live stream from the barn.
Here’s a better quality video of Romany and myself playing Leonard Cohen’s If It Be Your Will from last night’s Von Trapped Family live stream (you can see the full event on @pollysamson’s Facebook). Thanks to everyone who watched it.
In February this year, David joined special guests assembled by Fleetwood Mac’s @mickfleetwoodofficial to celebrate the life and work of Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green in a concert at the London Palladium. The film of this joyous celebration will be shown exclusively in cinemas worldwide in March 2021. For more information head to @mickfleetwoodandfriends
NB: TIME CHANGE. LIVE STREAM NOW AT 8.30PM, SO THAT THOSE OF US IN THE UK CAN GO OUTSIDE AND APPLAUD OUR INCREDIBLE, HEROIC NHS AT 8PM Sadly our launch events for @pollysamson’s new book #ATheatreForDreamers – out tomorrow – had to be postponed, so we’re having a go at doing something live from home with the family on Facebook on release day. Join us at 8pm BST tomorrow (Thur 2nd) at facebook.com/davidgilmour
So proud of @pollysamson for the (deservedly) rapturous response to her novel, A Theatre For Dreamers. #Repost @pollysamson ・・・ It’s been so nice seeing all the lovely reader reviews for A Theatre For Dreamers (which is available now from the link in my bio). Thank you to everyone who’s written one. (And thanks to @christophersalmon for putting this little film together using @gavin_elder’s clips and @davidgilmour’s song)
We’ve moved the time of tonight’s #ATheatreForDreamers live stream back to 8.30pm BST so that we can all go outside and applaud our heroic NHS at 8pm. We’ll see you at facebook.com/davidgilmour & facebook.com/pollysamson at 8.30pm.
Here’s a video I made of @PollySamson reading the passage from her new novel, #ATheatreForDreamers about Leonard Cohen’s arrival on Hydra. That happened exactly 60 years ago today, and we’ll celebrate it with our Von Trapped family live steam on Facebook, tonight at 8.30pm BST.
Just a few hours until our audiobook of @pollysamson’s A Theatre For Dreamers is released – produced by me and featuring some music I put together for it, including the premiere of a new song Yes, I Have Ghosts.
