David Gilmour guitar auction special on UK TV this week
A quick alert for – principally – those of you in the UK. If you find yourself with little to do on Friday morning, especially with the current Covid restrictions, you could do worse than tune in to the Sky Arts television channel (now available on Freeview channel 11, as well as through other providers including Sky and Virgin Media). From 11:30am until 12:00pm, there’s a special show called “Auction” which takes a look at the sale back in June 2019 which raised a staggering $21.5million for the ClientEarth charity. The programme description simply notes: “The huge personal guitar collection of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour comes to Christie’s – including the black Fender Stratocaster that featured on many of the band’s records.” Whatever the show covers, should be worth tuning in where possible (or setting your recorders if you can’t watch it on broadcast). Sky and Now TV customers can also watch Sky Arts shows on demand afterwards. Our thanks to Andy Finn for letting us know about this programme.
Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets – UK tour moves to 2022
In a move which should come as no surprise to anyone, it has just been announced that the 2021 UK tour of Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets has had to move due to the current pandemic affecting people the world over. The dates have all moved from April/May this year to the same period next year (2022). In the announcement, the band apologise “for any inconvenience these changes might cause; the band are desperate to perform, but have to ensure the experience is a safe one for everyone!” It makes perfect sense to postpone the shows now, giving people some notice, rather than holding on and hoping that the vaccination rollout proceeds at pace, AND that the virus recedes so that shows can take place. We would be amazed to see any shows take place for a while. Obviously, there were European dates scheduled for May – July, but at this stage, there’s no official word on what might be happening with those – or indeed, if there are any plans for shows elsewhere, a question we get frequently. We’re sure most people are aware of how moved shows work now – keep hold of your tickets as they are automatically valid for the new dates, and there’s no need to contact whoever you bought your tickets through to get new ones, or confirm attendance at the new date. Here’s the details of the revised dates: 16 April (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/nick-mason-s-sos-2022/april-16th-barbican-york-england-resched.html) Barbican, York, England

Nick Mason – happy birthday!
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 absolutely 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 fairly 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. The tour continued in 2019 with dates in the US, Canada, and more dates in the UK and Europe. 2020 was due to see more UK and European shows until Coronavirus managed to ruin everyone’s plans, but thankfully it didn’t stop the release (albeit delayed, due to manufacturing facilities and warehouses locked down initially) of the London Roundhouse concert filmed in 2019. This release proved as spectacular as we all suspected it would! (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/nick-masons-saucerful-of-secrets-live-at-the-roundhouse-2lp-2cd-dvd-blu-ray-ci-2.html) Many happy returns, Nick, and hopefully see you on the road once the dreaded virus is in retreat!
Model turned musician, Andreww is back with his highly-anticipated sophomore single, ‘Medusa’
Turning his talents and good looks to music, model turned musician Andreww (Louis Vuitton, Dior, Versace and Valentino) is back with his highly-anticipated sophomore single, ‘Medusa’. The track follows on from Andreww’s debut single, ‘Talking To Myself’, released late last year and judging by the numbers it did (35k+ Spotify streams and 84k+ Youtube views), …

What has 2021 got in store for us?
With the start of the new year, and the dreadful 2020 now thankfully just a memory, thoughts are now turning to what the future may bring, particularly on a Pink Floyd related front. Whilst things generally are still very much up in the air, January is always a good time for – either serious or completely outlandish – speculation and pondering on things which might happen across the coming year. Covid-19 put paid to concert plans last year of course. We were looking forward to shows that had been announced by Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters with his This Is Not A Drill tour, which was to be “in the round” rather than the normal end stage presentation. Both tours were naturally postponed. Some places have tentatively resumed shows but most haven’t yet. Will it take significant inroads into vaccinations, and infection rates/hospitalisations significantly reduced, before concerts will properly resume? Standing gigs would seem particularly unlikely for a while. One thing that seemed clear last year was that once initial lockdown issues had been dealt with (for example, pressing plants and warehouses closed) and new working methods worked out, there was a buoyant release market for artists across the musical spectrum. Whilst a lot of the material was retrospective, with deluxe editions and suchlike, there was also a lot of new material released as well, some of which had been inventively recorded during lockdown. The normal, annual Record Store Day turned into three, pretty full events, with an additional raft of releases on Black Friday, and with National Album Day also taken into account, it was a busy time on the music front. So, it’s time for you to look into your crystal balls – what do you think or hope 2021 will bring us, in particular on the Floyd-related front? It would be interesting if you have other thoughts too. Record Store Day has been announced for June 12th, and there’s normally some tasty things released that day. Will there be a Floyd-related release this year? When do you think gigs will resume? Drop us a line (at matt@brain-damage.co.uk) and let us know what your views are!
