 BBC Radio 2's Radcliffe and Maconie Show on Monday, May 10th, includes Mark and Stuart interviewing former Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner, who remembers the band's founding member Syd Barrett, while a live session from Robyn Hitchcock includes a Syd Barrett track. Jenner, along with Andrew King, headed Blackhill Enterprises who were the Floyd's first management team, parting company with the band when Syd left in 1968. Blackhill employee Steve O'Rourke took over as manager and held the role for over three decades. It should be an interesting interview with the band's early boss, as the show's hosts have tended to be intelligent and insightful hosts in previous Floyd-related shows.
The show airs between 8pm-10pm BST (GMT+1hr). BBC Radio 2 can be heard on DAB and FM radio, via Freeview, Sky satellite and Virgin Media cable, and via www.BBC.co.uk/radio2, which will allow listeners around the world to tune in. The BBC's iPlayer service (at their website, and on Virgin Media) will allow listening on demand for seven days from the date of broadcast, principally for those in the UK, but this does also work in some other countries.

 Nick Mason will be taking part in the 2010 Mille Miglia race in Italy, which is due to starts in Brescia today (May 5th). He will be participating in a 1949 Le Mans Replica [click thumbnail, left], which was built in 1971. Nick is 127th in the list of participants.
The Mille Miglia is a race between Brescia and Rome, and back again, a distance around 1,600 kilometres or a thousand miles, which gives the race its title. First contested back in 1927, it's a historic and prestigious event which attracts much attention worldwide, and limits the number of entrants to 375. This allows the organisers not only to select cars that are the most significant in the context of race history, but also to offer spectators a cavalcade that is almost unique, portraying thirty years of the evolution of motor racing, from 1927 to 1957.
More information on the event can be found at www.1000miglia.eu. Our thanks to Marco Budinis for letting us know about this, and the best of luck to Nick for the event itself.

Tickets for the Roger Waters 2010 North American Wall Tour are just about to go on sale, but there are already a number of "ticket agents" or "brokers" who are already selling non-existant tickets via various websites, eBay, and other places. Please don't get ripped off by these scammers - Ticketmaster.com and Ticketmaster.ca are where you'll guarantee getting real tickets...
