Pink Floyd flop in Spain

Pink Floyd rocker Dave Gilmour was stunned locals on the Spanish island of Formentera had no idea who he was - despite the band's lauded performance at the London Live 8 concert earlier this month.

Gilmour holidayed on the small island with his journalist wife, but the Spaniards were unimpressed when the 60-year-old joined them for a local jamming session.

A local musician says: "He said who he was and at first no one believed him.

"Finally we let him play, but the guitar didn't have any frets, so he didn't play very well."

Gilmour adds: "I couldn't believe they hadn't heard of us. It was very funny. But they weren't too keen on my playing."
