Pink Floyd's drummer Nick Mason spared some time this month to take part, unannounced, in a charity concert in aid of the Tsunami appeal. The concert, held at the Olympiad in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England, on February 5th, was a big draw, despite the presence of Nick not being known until he walked on stage.

The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald who supported the event, reported that "a thousand people enjoyed an entertainment fest in the name of charity at The Olympiad... raising £38,000 and bringing the weekend total for the Tsunami appeal to £50,000." All tickets sold out, at £20 a head (which included a buffet, as well). Their report went on:

Back in October 2004 we reported that Storm Thorgerson's fascinating exhibition of Pink Floyd (and other artists) images and cover artwork, "Taken By Storm" that was held in London, was to tour the world.

The exhibition, held at the John Martin Gallery in Chelsea, featured a wealth of absorbing images, and was a great look through Storm's career to date. It was great news that the show was to travel, and now we can bring you details of the first of these to be confirmed.

Almost five years after the original release, Columbia Records are re-promoting Pink Floyd's "Is There Anybody Out There - The Wall Live 1980-81" with a new promotional item which is appearing in collectors stores and internet auction sites.

We've sought, and received, confirmation that this is a legitimate item; the worldwide market is heavily saturated with fake coloured and picture vinyl releases, so wanted to check this on your behalf.

With just a week or two left to contact us with donations, we've been blessed with more donations from kind fans worldwide. Here is the latest list of goodies up for grabs in our major Pink Floyd fundraising effort for the Tsunami victims. The raffle is a co-ordinated effort being run on a number of Floyd sites around the world.

The top prize, of course, is the 30th anniversary edition of Dark Side Of The Moon, signed by David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright AND Roger Waters, who ALSO agreed to sign it!

This is only the third copy of the 30th anniversary DSOTM signed by all four, so a very unusual, and desirable, prize! Our thanks to the management teams of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters for co-ordinating this.
