Nick Mason “Inside Out” signed copies – updated order form

For the last TWENTY YEARS (!) one of the most popular items that have been promoted through Brain Damage is Nick Mason’s excellent book, Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd signed with your choice of dedication, by Nick himself. Even though the offer has been running for such a long time, we’ve had confirmation (with an updated order form to reflect the edition of the book that his office has available) that Nick is still more than happy to take care of this for you! What better present for the Floyd nut in your life, or indeed, for yourself? Below is the current version of the order forms (from August 2024) which is the only one that should be used from now on; if you have any older versions that you were in the process of completing, please disregard them. The nice people at Nick’s office organising it offer recorded/signed delivery, whichever country you live in. Sent from the UK, the cost of the book – the UK’s recent limited edition hardback – is £80, plus shipping. This is priced at £16 (for the UK), £22 (Europe) and £33 (North America and the rest of the world), all of which require a signature on delivery. Now, those who have seen this hardback edition (the one that Nick is signing for you) will know it weighs a ton (figuratively speaking) – so wherever you live, it is an expensive item to send. However, where else can you get Nick to put your chosen message for a loved one (or yourself!) down in writing, and know that it is genuine (unlike some of the items sold daily on eBay with obviously faked signatures on)? Please be aware that at certain times, Nick may be on holiday or involved in various projects – such as his band, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, who have just concluded their latest tour – which obviously has quite an effect on the speed that books can be signed and sent – especially as Nick writes each dedication himself. No secretarial signatures or pre-signed books here! To order the book, simply download the following form: Nick Mason signed and dedicated Inside Out book order form and complete your details, emailing the form through to the address given at the bottom. Full delivery and payment details are included on the form. Please order very early to ensure delivery for specific events (such as birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations). Our thanks to Nick and his team for continuing to make this possible.

Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets – show in ancient amphitheatre added

Well, so soon after adding a couple of dates to Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets 2019 tour (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2019/index.php) – in Prague and Warsaw – the band have added yet another to the busy July schedule! The extra show is being held at the historic Teatro Antico in Taormina, on the Italian island of Sicily (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2019/july-12th-teatro-antico-di-taormina-taormina-sicily.html). With this 3rd century BC Greek venue being an amphitheatre, boasting views behind the stage of Mount Etna, it promises to be a spectacular venue to catch Nick and his excellent band in action: Friday 12th July 2019 – Teatro Antico di Taormina, Sicily, Italy (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2019/july-12th-teatro-antico-di-taormina-taormina-sicily.html) – TICKETS (https://www.ticketmaster.it/it/advertise/nick-mason/8398) Tickets for this additional show go on sale on Friday (22nd March) at 10am CET, through www.Ticketmaster.it (https://www.ticketmaster.it/it/advertise/nick-mason/8398). As normal, to go with all the other shows the band are playing, we have been busy setting up a dedicated page for this concert which, with your assistance, will have all sorts of useful information, pictures, reviews and more. The pages can be found in the Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets 2019 Tour Zone (http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2019/index.php) which has details of ALL the shows on this year’s tour, that have been announced so far. To cover regular email questions we are getting, if other dates/locations are revealed, then we will bring you the good news.

Five For Friday – 4th August 2023

bellhoss – ‘Better Now’ Having previously been compared to the likes of Waxahatchee, ALVVAYS, and Soccer Mommy on recent efforts, Denver-based outfit bellhoss return once again to offer up their dreamy new offering ‘Better Now’. Capturing more of that warm and woozy indie-rock aesthetic they are known for, this new gem is another shining example …
