Well, it’s felt a long time coming, but it has finally started. As we type this, Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets are currently midway through the first half of their opening show on their Australian tour – part of The Echoes Tour – with the band playing the first of a brace of nights at the Forum Melbourne (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2023/september-16th-forum-melbourne-melbourne-victoria-aust.html). There are still a few tickets for tomorrow night’s show, and for some of the other Australian shows – so if you are in or near the cities in question, it really would be worth your while snapping them up before they all go, and enjoying a fabulous gig filled with early Pink Floyd gems! Here are details of all the upcoming shows (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2023/index.php). We welcome all contributions from those going to any of the upcoming shows – please email us at matt@brain-damage.co.uk – and to kick things off, here’s a picture of the band in action a very short time ago, during the first number in Melbourne! Our thanks to John, on the scene at the Forum… if you visit the show page you’ll find more of his pictures (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2023/september-16th-forum-melbourne-melbourne-victoria-aust.html)!
Hello, howdy, hi and welcome back to another Beneath The Surface session. This time we are joined by the wonderful Tailor, who has recently released his debut EP ‘Reminisce’. Electronic pop at it’s finest, ‘Reminisce’ is infused with subtle dance elements and is accompanied by two visuals. One an official music video and another more …
Ahead of the auction of over 120 of his guitars, David Gilmour has been interviewed by Matt Everitt, and the conversation has been released as a set of three weekly podcasts. The first of these is now available via your preferred podcast provider (smarturl.it/davidgilmourpodcast (http://smarturl.it/davidgilmourpodcast)) or via David’s YouTube channel. Here’s the first of the three parts:
this link at Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com/david-gilmour-tickets/artist/769001). Gilmour and his band will be playing at the legendary Hollywood Bowl, in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday 29th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/october-29th-hollywood-bowl-hollywood-los-angeles-c.html) and Wednesday 30th October (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/october-30th-hollywood-bowl-hollywood-los-angeles-c.html), before heading up to New York City, New York, for a brace of shows at Madison Square Garden, in Manhattan, on Monday 4th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/november-4th-madison-square-garden-new-york-city-n.html) and Tuesday 5th November (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/november-5th-madison-square-garden-new-york-city-n.html). That last date – 5th November, is not just National Doughnut Day in America, but also the day of the US election, where the next president will be voted on and elected. David played two nights in both venues in 2016 on his last tour, so it’s not a huge surprise to see him return to them. For the 2024 dates, these will be the ONLY North American cities, and join the dates in London, England, and Rome, Italy on the schedule. You can sign up to the official David Gilmour newsletter (http://davidgilmour.com/uspresale) to get exclusive ticket pre-sale access. The pre-sale will launch Wednesday, May 15th, 10am local. The window to qualify for the pre-sale ends at 1pm PT / 4pm ET on Tuesday May 14th. Pre-sale codes will be sent out later that day. The venue itself is running a presale (we think through Ticketmaster) on Thursday, May 16th, at 10am local time, with a password of SOCIAL. Tickets will then go on general sale at 10am local on Friday, May 17th from this link at Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.com/david-gilmour-tickets/artist/769001). UPDATE: A third night at Madison Square Garden in New York, on November 6th (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/november-6th-madison-square-garden-new-york-city-n.html), has just been added. Tickets go on sale through this direct link (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/2024-david-gilmour-tour-zone/november-6th-madison-square-garden-new-york-city-n.html). Access presale tickets starting tomorrow, May 16th at 10am local time with code SOCIAL.
