It is one of David Gilmour's most acclaimed solo recordings, with 10 million streams on Spotify. But the story behind Between Two Points is remarkable and begins in Salford in 1998 with The Montgolfier Brothers.

🚨SUNDAY!🚨
If you’re near Manchester and you like what I like (archive TV, comedy), you’d have to be daft to miss this opportunity to be in the presence of Peter Fleming on Sunday night.

Delighted to have had a sneaky listen to Series 2 of @MmmSausage's radio series Icklewick FM. Big laughs, a killer guest cast and plenty of chaotic mayhem, but altogether more refined and effective than Series 1. Goes out on @BBCRadio4 from Saturday 30 August. Splendid!
For further illumination, I spoke to @CallMeCantrill back when Series 1 came out....

Extremely sad to hear of the death of Anthony Ryan Carter, better known as ‘Tosh’. He was the boss of Rabid Records and the man who made ‘Jilted John’ a hit back in ‘78. Tosh also launched the careers of John Cooper Clarke, Slaughter and the Dogs, Frank Sidebottom and others.
Frankie Monroe - currently killing it at the Edinburgh Fringe, with a Cats Does Countdown appearance under his belt and a big UK tour just announced - what's on Earth's it all about? Get the whole story here....
