Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets superb Stoke starter!

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!

Nick Mason appears on new episode of motoring podcast

With Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets getting ready to entertain again in the UK and Europe this summer, starting on June 11th in Stoke, England, Nick has taken time out of early preparations to appear on the Fuelling Around podcast. The 45-minute episode of the automotive show where he talked about music, motors and his epic car collection, is typically entertaining. “I thought I’d retired about 20 years ago. I think my doctor said: ‘If you haven’t grown out of showing off by the time you’re 70, you’re probably incurable’. It’s really terrific when you do get a younger fanbase. Sometimes they bring their old granny along – the clatter of zimmer-frames in the mosh pit is something to
watch out for.” In the podcast, he noted that “we play Floyd songs because first of all it was a repertoire which I could just about remember, which helped. The other thing was that feeling that we wanted to capture the atmosphere of the early music. That meant it actually freed us up a bit because we didn’t have to play Comfortably Numb exactly as it was played on the record. We were playing the earlier songs where it was much more about the atmosphere that went with it rather than the accuracy. “It wasn’t me who formed the band. It was initially Lee’s suggestion and the rest of the band sort of formed itself around us. We certainly didn’t do anything as crude as hold any sort of tests or auditions. It was actually, in a way, exactly how bands always used to be put together, which was a few like-minded people getting together and saying ‘well let’s give it a go’. And that’s exactly what we did.” You can enjoy the entire episode here:

Whites substitute Bamford could have put the Yorkshire side ahead at the bet365 Stadium in the 75th minute but fired over from the spot. And minutes later at the other end, Wesley’s […]
