As we're now in the final quarter of 2023, it's that time of year again...now available to buy is the Official Pink Floyd 2024 Calendar! Unusually, it covers sixteen months, running from September 2023, through to December 2024.
It's a perennial Floyd fan favourite - particularly as a gift at Christmas time. An item which has been produced for many years now, and designed for use hanging on walls, the standardised format is roughly the same size as a vinyl album - roughly 12" (or 30cm) square, with the calendar opening up to have a double page spread per month.
The calendar this year is a celebration of the band's 1977 release, Animals, via various images, record sleeves, and suchlike, some of which were newly revealed for recent re-release (which sounded spectacular, by the way!).
The images here show all twelve images (September 2023 to January 2024 seems to be accompanied by the classic album cover shot), along with the front cover.
The calendar each year is often squirrelled away as a collectable for the years to come, and earlier examples are now quite sought after.
ORDERING INFO: As we participate in their affiliate programme, ordering any item after entering Amazon through our links helps with BD's ongoing running costs, and we really appreciate it. You can order the calendar from Amazon.com, Amazon UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. You can also order from HMV.com.
It never takes much for a Pink Floyd fan to make a pilgrimage to what was a neglected, decommissioned power station on the banks of the River Thames in London. Battersea Power Station had a new wave of interest when the Floyd used it for the cover of Animals, and it has remained in the hearts of fans ever since.
It has recently been completed restored and developed (after a number of false starts to try and do this over the years, with various diverse plans, including a theme park to be built within its walls), and as part of that, it now has a cinema.
The Cinema In The Power Station this evening hosts a very special event. There is a screening of the incredible documentary film Have You Got It Yet? The Story Of Syd Barrett And Pink Floyd at 7:10pm tonight, which is accompanied with a Q&A with the director Roddy Bogawa, and the producer Orian Williams. The screening and Q&A are being held on the 3rd Floor, Turbine Hall B, of the Power Station.
If you haven't yet seen Have You Got It Yet? The Story Of Syd Barrett And Pink Floyd, it is worth making the journey to the Nine Elms part of London tonight to catch it! As yet, we have no news about a home release of this film, but rest assured, as soon as we do, we'll let you know.
Well, it's felt a long time coming, but it has finally started. As we type this, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets are currently midway through the first half of their opening show on their Australian tour - part of The Echoes Tour - with the band playing the first of a brace of nights at the Forum Melbourne. There are still a few tickets for tomorrow night's show, and for some of the other Australian shows - so if you are in or near the cities in question, it really would be worth your while snapping them up before they all go, and enjoying a fabulous gig filled with early Pink Floyd gems! Here are details of all the upcoming shows.
We welcome all contributions from those going to any of the upcoming shows - please email us at

- and to kick things off, here's a picture of the band in action a very short time ago, during the first number in Melbourne! Our thanks to John, on the scene at the Forum... if you visit the show page you'll find more of his pictures!
With the start of their Echoes Tour in Australia just two days away - they play a brace of shows in Melbourne this weekend - the first of the interviews to coincide with the dates on local media has taken place. Nick Mason and Gary Kemp talk about the Saucerful Of Secrets, with Nick also talking about the early days of Pink Floyd, in an entertaining chat that's worth watching:
The combined wishes of all of us on the Brain Damage team, along no doubt with many of you reading this, go to Roger Waters, who celebrates the very special occasion of his 80th birthday today!
Roger was born in Great Bookham, Surrey, in 1943, moving to Cambridge when he was two years old. It was there that he met, and became childhood friends with, a number of key people in the story of Pink Floyd.
Of course, Roger has been extremely busy over recent years, having successfully taken Dark Side Of The Moon on tour in 2006, through to 2008. On completing that, he immediately started work on a new version of The Wall - which finally opened in September 2010. That tour was spectacularly successful, wrapping up in Paris for show number 217 in September 2013. Recordings of that tour turned into the film, shown in cinemas and released on DVD/Blu-ray and as part of a mammoth Super Deluxe Edition.
More recently, he performed his highly acclaimed Us + Them world tour, which was filmed and was shown in cinemas worldwide, with the home release of it on Blu-ray, 2CD, 3LP vinyl and DVD that followed. He also released his latest full solo album, Is This The Life We Really Want? as well as overseeing the release of the late Nick Sedgwick's book about the band, and in particular, the 1974 tour of The Dark Side of the Moon.
2022 finally saw him back on tour for This Is Not A Drill, originally due to start in 2020 but delayed due to Covid-19, with the stage presentation being "in the round". The powerful presentations, with the unique staging which sees Roger wandering around, addressing attendees on all sides of the arenas, have already thrilled audiences in many countries with more shows to come in South America.
June also saw the release of the six-song album, The Lockdown Sessions, which gathered together new versions of Mother, Two Suns In The Sunset, Vera, The Gunner's Dream, The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range, and Comfortably Numb 2022.
Finally, Roger's Redux version of The Dark Side Of The Moon is released next month, and he presents this in a pair of shows at the legendary London Palladium.
The official Pink Floyd social channels this morning also shared a birthday wish for Roger, with a message looking back in fondness to all the work they all did together:
We hope you have a great day, Roger. Many happy returns!
