The London Drum Show have a very special guest opening the 2011 event - none other than Nick Mason. He'll be handling this task at 12 noon, on Saturday October 15th. Subsequently, he will appear on the Drummer Magazine stand for signings. The event takes place at Olympia's Conference Centre, and tickets for the event can either be purchased on the door for £17.50, or in advance online, at a much cheaper £12.50.

Tickets give you entry to the show and all performances within the event - more details of which can be found at LondonDrumShow.com. Nick attended the London Drum Show last year and is back this year for more. Our thanks to Arend Wentink for the information.
