Well, they’re back! Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets have started their 2024 Set The Controls tour, with what sounds like an incredible night in Stoke. With a new tour, there’s always the thought that there will be a revised set list, and the 2024 edition of the band’s repetoire included some surprises. Rather than spoil anything here, if you head to the Stoke concert page (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2024/june-11th-victoria-hall-stoke-on-trent-en.html) you will be able to see the new set list, which we’re sure you won’t be expecting certain elements of! We’re also adding some pictures we’ve very kindly been sent by Rob Sadler (who also contributed the picture shown here, too) to that show page. As ever, if you go to ANY of the shows, and would like to share your thoughts, and/or your pictures, with the wider Floyd community, we’d love to see them! Simply email matt@brain-damage.co.uk with your contributions and we’ll include what we can! For those going to any upcoming shows, we hope you have a great time. There are still a few tickets left for some of the venues, so if you haven’t yet got yours, make sure you snap them up as soon as you can to avoid disappointment!

Today we bring you the news that we're pretty sure 99% of you have been expecting. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the UK dates lined up for October 2020 for Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have been postponed until April/May next year when things will hopefully be a little more settled and a sense of some normality will have returned. At the moment, we'd be amazed if any indoor concerts happen this year.The press release for the move rightly notes the uncertainty surrounding us all due to the pandemic, and makes it clear that it is important to the band that those who are planning to attend the shows are able to do so safely and without concern for their health and wellbeing. To achieve this, and to allow people the opportunity to plan their travel to and from the concerts, postponing until April 2021 was the best option. With the move of the shows, they've managed to add three new dates to the schedule, and have had to cancel two of the existing shows as they were unable to reschedule them. So, the shows in Gateshead and Southampton have now gone, but have been replaced with shows in Newcastle and Portsmouth, which were as close as they could manage to the original locations. Holders of tickets for the cancelled shows can receive a refund from their ticket provider. Tickets for the five additional shows have just gone on sale (at midday, today, UK time) from SeeTickets (https://www.seetickets.com/tour/nick-mason-s-saucerful-of-secrets), Ticketmaster (https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/) and other normal agents including the venues, so if you are intending to go to one of these additional shows, we suggest you buy now to get the best choice of seats. All the other shows remain on sale, but for the revised dates.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, but born in New York, USA, Brew is an interesting alternative rock artist. After moving to London a while back, Joe Strummer gave him the confidence to form his band Blue Sun; however, we want to focus on his latest solo project. We had a chance to speak with Brew about …
