Passion for Speed (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/books/passion-for-speed-nick-mason-and-mark-hales-2.html), is worth checking out, as is the DVD of the same name (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/dvds-and-videos/passion-for-speed-ferrari-enzo-dvd-nick-mason-and-mark-2.html) focusing on his Ferrari Enzo car (with Nick heavily involved). Of course, for those who haven’t read it, Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/books/inside-out-2011-edition-updated-paperback-nick-mason-2.html) is an absolute essential read, and available in a variety of editions: hardback, softback (paperback) and an audiobook, which is read by Nick himself… Nick has contributed to a number of magazines on motoring issues over the years (including a fascinating monthly column in Octane Magazine), and also became president of the Guild of Motoring Writers. He is a trustee of the Beaulieu National Motor Museum, and a life member and Guardian of the BRDC (British Racing Drivers Club). He has been involved in motor racing since the early 1970s and has entered Le Mans five times. Musically, of course, the big news recently was the launch of his new band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets. The four initial, small gigs in May 2018 held in London lead to a very successful and critically acclaimed European tour in September. Last year, of course, the tour continued with dates in the US, Canada, and more dates in the UK and Europe. 2020 sees more UK and European shows, and hopefully the release of the London Roundhouse concert filmed last year! Many happy returns, Nick, and see you on the road!

Rare Pink Floyd items on BBC’s Antiques Roadshow
Last weekend, the BBC’s long running and much loved Antiques Roadshow had a segment of interest. The show features normal members of the public going along to a “roadshow” that the BBC puts on in various places (stately homes, for example) with family heirlooms, items they’ve collected, and such like. The resident experts then talk about the items (often explaining detail about objects that the owner previously was unaware of) and give a valuation. Occasionally, there are music-related items and as you’ll see from the clip here, a March 1967 Pink Floyd poster, for their appearance at Enfield College of Technology, was included, alongside a promotional brochure about the band, and an early single. The clip is hosted by the BBC and hopefully you’ll all be able to view it – apologies if they aren’t allowing it to be seen in your region.
