Bell-Ringing Over Stadium Roar
Guy Pratt, bassist associated with Pink Floyd, has traded stadium acoustics for the resonant chimes of church bells in his local village. He is reportedly still active in music, participating in a band called Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets. Pratt, 64, discussed this shift in his pursuits in a recent issue of 'The Oldie,' expressing a desire to continue this newfound activity.
Pratt’s musical history extends beyond Pink Floyd. He was also a member of the Australian band Icehouse and co-founded the American group Toy Matinee. His association with Pink Floyd involved touring with lead guitarist David Gilmour. Pratt’s wife is named Gala Wright.
Waters' sonic reinvention
Meanwhile, Roger Waters, a co-founder and former conceptual leader of Pink Floyd, has undertaken a solo re-recording of the band's album 'The Dark Side of the Moon.' This project is set to be released as 'The Dark Side of the Moon Redux' in October. Waters' role in Pink Floyd evolved from bassist to lyricist and vocalist after the departure of Syd Barrett in 1968. His solo discography includes albums such as 'The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking' and 'Amused to Death.'

Village Life backdrop
The village of Wisborough Green, where Pratt is said to reside, is noted for its high property values. It presents a conventional English village setting, complete with a central green, public houses, a pond, a church, and a shop. The population is around 1,414.
Contextualizing the musicians
Guy Pratt joined Pink Floyd at a later stage. Roger Waters is recognized as a founding member who became a dominant force in the band's direction, particularly after Syd Barrett's departure. David Gilmour, the band's lead guitarist, also resides in the Sussex area, in the village of Wisborough Green, which is described as the second most expensive in the region.
