Maybe David is doing some overdubs and backing vocals for Marks new album  ;) ;D
David is also working on his new album. He also has his own studio but perhaps he is there to record some tracks :think....

Guy Fletcher came and broke the silence, what a hero (P.S. I really love you, Guy, despite everything I ever wrote about you):

Spent a lovely day yesterday recording David Gilmour at British Grove for the VERY soon to be announced TCT project.

Either David is extremely good at looking the same in every photo, but seems like this B&W pic was also taken recently.

He has a different hair style :)

It was a damn weird morning.

Polly Samson posted another photo titled "BlackStrat2", so 99% this pic is from yesterday's recording.

Is it just me, or is no-one else really excited to see Mark and David Gilmour together? This is a rare event, a meeting in a studio of two of the true greatest guitar players ever!! The contribution these two have made to music over the last 50 plus years is immense. It must have been something to hear Gilmour playing at British Grove, and lucky for Guy to have recorded him. Assuming the song is written by Mark, that is amazing to finally have Gilmour playing on one of Mark's songs. The photo is rare too, I know they must have run into each other over the years, but a photo together is not something you see. They both played at Knebworth 1990 and the famous French and Saunders sketch. David has been to watch Mark in concert I believe, and has commented how much he like Mark as a player, I don't think I have heard Mark say anything about David though, clearly he must think he is a great player, but I have not heard him mention David or Pink Floyd. It's funny, you don't think they have much in common as players, but they do, they are both heavily in the Blues, and both have recorded with BB King. Mark and Eric Clapton compliment each others playing, so, I could imagine these two doing the same thing, they are both highly melodic players, and each of them play with an exquisite touch and feel.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Actually, a lot of people sent me this photo screaming DID YOU SEE THAT? THEY RECORD TOGETHER AT LAST! So it's definitely something that got folks pretty excited. Look at the number of likes and wow emojis on social media. That's indeed a great meeting! I've heard somewhere that Mark wasn't a fan of David's boat studio though, and made fun of it or something. Well, it's really an orthodox way to build a studio, that's for sure. How are you so sure David played on Mark's song? It says he recorded for the Teenage Cancer project and that's all. For that, we have to wait.

I'm not sure at all, I just thought Mark had written this charity song, but I could be wrong.

Why do people even think they played together? It's a charity project with various star contributors, isn't it?

I think MK once mentioned he listened a lot to DSOTM prior to the LOG or BIA sessions (can’t remember).
