A new podcast has started up, called Fingal's Cave, which is aimed at "all true Pink Floyd fans" with a focus
on more in-depth subjects related to the band. As Ian Priston, co-host with Nils Zehnpfennig, alludes to in the first episode, it's not really a podcast aimed at the Floyd novice!
In the second episode, Nils meets Lee Harris, co-founder and guitarist with Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets. As the podcast description neatly summarises, "Lee recalls being a fan of Pink Floyd from an early age, trips to Kensington and Camden markets in London to buy bootlegs and his memories of Floyd Xmas Mix '93. Other highlights of the hour include, the story of how the Saucers were formed, Roger Waters' performance in New York when he joined the band for Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and Lee's experience of the famous concert in Luxembourg 2018."
A really great listen and well worth checking out. You can listen to it in full below, or via your favourite podcast platform such as Apple, Spotify or Amazon. Visit fingalscavepodcast.com for more details of their offering.
This evening, two additional shows have been added to the 2023 Echoes Tour of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets.
As you can see by the new graphic to the right, it's great news for those of you in (or travelling to) Australia: a second night has been added in Melbourne, and in Sydney. The regular sale of tickets starts on Wednesday 31st May at 10:00 am local time, via Ticketek.com.au for the Forum Melbourne tickets, and for the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, this link at Ticketek.com.au.
The first teaser video for a documentary about the recent The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Ningaloo Eclipse has been released. The event saw a specially constructed pyramid on a remote part of Australia (the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park - Nyinggulu), a selection of very lucky fans, and headphones playing the Atmos mix of the album, witness an eclipse with the album timed to finish as Roger Waters sang the iconic closing lines "But the sun is eclipsed by the moon…" from the album's final song Eclipse timed to align with the extraordinary moment of total eclipse.
As you'll see, the documentary is due to appear in September...

[STORY UPDATED] Following on from last night's cinema broadcast of yesterday's This Is Not A Drill concert which took place in Prague, Roger Waters has announced four more dates to the South American leg of his 2023 tour, and details of these are below:
The additional Sao Paulo show goes on sale on Tuesday (May 30th). Tickets for the Costa Rica show go on sale shortly - check the link above for updates. The Colombia show has a presale from 9am on May 31st, through to 11:59pm on June 1st, with the general sale of tickets from midnight on June 2nd. Ticket details for Ecuador will be announced shortly and we'll update the link above once we have the information.
Announced this lunchtime: Toronto has been confirmed as the seventh location to host The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, the magnificent and critically acclaimed major retrospective of Pink Floyd, their music and the impact the band had on art and culture. Canada sees the exhibition remain on its shores having recently staged it in Montreal.
Following its hugely successful debut at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 2017, which saw over 400,000 people attend, the exhibition has subsequently traveled to Italy, Germany, Spain and the United States attracting well over 500,000 people and will now take residency in the cultural hub of Toronto.
The Exhibition opens on Friday, June 16th, 2023, and is being held at the Better Living Centre at Exhibition Place in the city. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 26th at 10am EST. The Better Living Centre should be a good venue for the immersive experiential journey through Pink Floyd's world. The band played in Toronto a number of times, as have the individual members of the band on their solo tours. The exhibition normally runs for a while, and once we have the anticipated closing date, we will update this story.
"After a hugely successful run in Montreal this past year, it was time to bring The Pink Floyd Exhibition to Toronto to rock the summer," said Michael Cohl, Executive Producer of the exhibition and Canadian Promoter of Pink Floyd. "It's only fitting since Pink Floyd has such strong ties to the city, notably the sold-out 1987 shows that launched the next phase of their storied career. I am thrilled to be able to present this exhibition in my hometown where we can all celebrate Pink Floyd's legacy."
"Pink Floyd has an enduring history in Toronto starting with their premiere concert in 1973 at Maple Leaf Gardens; and having performed at Exhibition Stadium seven times during the 80s and 90s," said Darrell Brown, CNE CEO. "The CNE has a rich musical legacy, and we are honoured to be hosting this incredible retrospective on the grounds where many of their most memorable Toronto concerts took place. The CNEA is proud to be part of this extraordinary exhibition that brings the history and music of Pink Floyd in a new light."
To purchase tickets for the exhibition, and for more information, please visit PinkFloydExhibition.com and as before, advance booking is highly recommended as popular times and dates will no doubt sell quickly.
Ticket prices include the excellent audioguide which attendees to previous stagings of the exhibition will know is an extremely well designed facility which will really enhance your visit. Each day of operation the first entry is at midday (12pm) and evening tickets (normally after 6pm) are more expensive. There's also a VIP package available to purchase.
Here are the hours each week that you can visit the exhibition, of which you really need to allocate at least two hours to get around:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday – Thursday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
Friday – Saturday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
Sunday: 12pm to 10pm (last visit)
