With the first of the four London shows for Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets just two days away, it has just been announced that there are a very limited number of production tickets which have been released for the first of the four shows.

These additional tickets for Sunday's performance at Dingwalls, in Camden, go on sale now, and are expected to sell extremely quickly. As before, there are ticketing restrictions of just two tickets per person, and the name of the purchaser will be printed on the tickets, and photo ID will be checked against the tickets, on the door. You can try your hand at getting tickets for what promises to be a great show, via Ticketweb.

If you don't succeed with the above, there's another opportunity for you. A pair of tickets has been made available to help raise much needed funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity. The tickets are for the show at the Half Moon in Putney on May 23rd, and you can find out more details, and buy your entry/entries into the ballot, through tickets.halfmoon.co.uk.

Good luck if you are trying either route above!

The new issue of the UK's Uncut magazine (cover date July 2018) arrives in UK shops today (Thursday), and in due course will be available in selected outlets in Europe and elsewhere. Tucked away, adjacent to John Lydon's chin on the cover are the words: 'We are not a tribute band' - Syd's Floyd Reborn!

Uncut chatted to Nick Mason to discover more about the Saucerful Of Secrets project (the band undergo a set of four shows in London over the course of the coming week). Making the important distinction that "It's not important to play the songs exactly as they were, but to capture the spirit", which helped inform who would join Nick on stage. He reveals that he told both David Gilmour, and Roger Waters, of his intentions to revisit some of the band's earlier repertoire live, and found them very supportive. The chat with Nick also hints at what the set is likely to include come Sunday evening in Camden.

Elsewhere in the magazine there's a major feature on the aforementioned Lydon (known to many as Johnny Rotten in a previous musical life). Lydon, Jah Wobble and Keith Levene recall the last days of the Sex Pistols and explain how the pioneering, cantankerous Public Image were born. Father John Misty, Ray Davies and Johnny Cash also have features within, and the magazine is sold with a cover mounted CD.

The magazine can be purchased online now through Newsstand.co.uk.

With the current home of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains about to close its doors on the Floydian artifacts to the public, there's some great news from Rome's Museo d'Arte Contemporanea di Roma (MACRO) for those who are yet to attend but still want to (and will be in a position to do so).

The exhibition, which opened on January 19th, was due to close on May 20th. However, it has just had an extension of a week (now closing on May 27th), and tickets for the extra period are now on sale via VivaTicket.it, all Vivaticket outlet locations and by phone on +39.041.2719035.

Advance booking is heavily recommended. We'd also advise you to book sessions that start no later than lunchtime if you really want to take your time over the exhibition - we had many reports of people spending five or more hours absorbing all the detail in London!

The video report below shows off some of the exhibition, including (as expected) a different layout to the staging of it at London's Victoria & Albert, and some different items on display. 

Amusingly, at one point in the interview, Roger reveals how he isn't particularly interested at the history of the band on display, more keen on the present and his current projects. Whilst some of the video is in Italian, Nick and Roger's comments are subtitled, not overdubbed.

Once May 27th draws to a close, the exhibition will be carefully taken down, and packed up, ready to head to its next destination...once that is confirmed, we will bring you all the details of its new home!

On this coming Friday, May 18th, Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story gets a worldwide release via Eagle Rock Entertainment, on DVD and Blu-ray.

Still On The Run: The Jeff Beck Story documents the history of a musical maverick and true innovator, delving below the surface to shed light on the circumstances, inspiration and technicality behind the man and his music. The film features extensive interviews with Jeff both at home and in his workshop, as well as interviews with Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, David Gilmour, Ronnie Wood, Slash, Jan Hammer, Joe Perry, Beth Hart and many more.

Beck’s childhood saw him surrounded by music; from the endlessly playing radio, to his homemade guitar and the countless hours he spent poring over records and playing music with his friend, Jimmy Page. "I didn't have to think about taking up guitar, I just wanted to pour my feelings into it" said Jeff.

The acclaimed documentary reveals the true story of the guitar player who builds hot rods and captures the excitement and anecdotes of those who have worked alongside him. Jeff Beck has always been a risk taker, on an endless quest for fresh and challenging new sounds. Bending notes and filtering a myriad of musical inspirations, he will continue to inspire fans and musicians alike by giving voice to his guitar in the most unexpected ways.
