Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets postpone European tour
In a move that should come as no surprise to anyone, due to the current Coronavirus restrictions and potential new waves of infection being experienced in some places, the upcoming Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets European tour is being postponed. On their official social media channels, the band said: Whilst really disappointing, the current Covid-19 situation sadly means we’re having to delay the European #SaucerfulOfSecrets shows again. Please bear with us as we work on getting new dates for all the shows; hopefully we will have the revised dates for your diary very shortly! The tour was due to start on May 19th – less than two months away – and despite the start of the vaccine rollout – it would have clearly been too early for a tour to start. Restrictions in place at the time might have meant that only partial capacities would be permitted, and with the majority of tickets sold, how would a venue or promoter decide who would be the lucky ones still able to attend, and who would miss out? Obviously the bad (if expected) news was tempered with the great news that revised dates are being worked on. It must be incredibly difficult to come up with a multi-country tour schedule which works logistically, particularly with the number of artists who will be undergoing the same exercise. Once we have the revised dates, we will let you all know.

A very happy birthday to David Gilmour
Our very best wishes, and many happy returns, to David Gilmour who is celebrating his 75th birthday today (March 6th)! Born and raised in Cambridge, David became involved with various bands in the area, principally Jokers Wild who were a popular draw when they played, before joining Pink Floyd in 1968. More recent years have seen David concentrating on his solo career, and helping out chums on their musical projects on an ad hoc basis. In 2019, some 120+ of David’s guitars were auctioned, raising $21.5 million (including some record-breaking amounts for individual instruments) which went to the environmental charity ClientEarth (https://clientearth.org). He also appeared as a guest performer at the Richard Thompson 70th Birthday Concert (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/david-gilmour-guest-appearance-at-richard-thompson-70th-birthday-co.html), playing Dimming Of The Day and Fat Old Sun, and joining the encore. Last year, on February 25th, shortly before all activity stopped around the world due to Coronavirus, David joined the stellar bill for the Mick Fleetwood Friends Celebrate The Music of Peter Green and The Early Years of Fleetwood Mac (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/mick-fleetwood-friends-concert-box-set-available-to-orde.html) concert at London's Palladium, which is being released as a 4LP, 2CD, Blu-ray and book box set on April 30th this year (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/mick-fleetwood-friends-concert-box-set-available-to-orde.html). The concert was in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust charity (https://teenagecancertrust.org). Finally, scheduled for the end of June (Covid restriction permitting, of course), David is joining his wife Polly Samson for three special evenings to mark the release of her new book, A Theatre For Dreamers, which will see David performing a few songs (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/polly-samson-and-david-gilmour-a-theatre-for-dreamers-book-and-music-e.html). Tickets for these three events, in Manchester, Birmingham, and London, are available now (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/polly-samson-and-david-gilmour-a-theatre-for-dreamers-book-and-music-e.html).It just remains for us to wish David a very happy day!
