Give a listen to a station ID we recently voiced for “Floydian Slip” affiliate Zenith Classic Rock.

Polly Samson helps rescue drowning man

Posted January 28, 2012 by Floydian Slip

This past Wednesday, Polly Samson, wife of Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, helped rescue a man drowning near the couple’s East Sussex home.

Reports vary, but Samson is said to have aided the man who was flailing in the sea and, who, after rescue, refused help by trying to return to the water.

The man, who was in his 40s, was eventually taken by police to Royal Sussex County Hospital for mental evaluation.

Gilmour and the couple’s 21-year-old son, Charlie, reportedly assisted in the rescue.

Samson is a writer and photographer.

Roddy Bogawa‘s documentary about Pink Floyd sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson will have its East Coast premiere next month at New York Museum of the Modern Art (MoMA).

The feature-length film, “Taken by Storm,” will be featured as part of MoMA’s two-week-long “International Festival of Nonfiction Film and Media,” beginning Feb. 16.

“Taken by Storm” debuted in March 2011 at the South by Southwest (SxSW) festival.

“Hoping that this screening will give the film a big push along to its distribution life — more screenings, perhaps theatrical release, DVDs and streaming,” Bogawa says.
