A bit of advance notice for our Irish friends; we've now got details of when tickets for the second night of Roger Waters performing The Wall live at Dublin's O2 Arena - May 24th, 2011 - go on sale, and you're going to have to get your credit cards ready quickly! The first show, being held on May 23rd, sold out incredibly fast (but then, that pretty much sums up most if not all of his 2010 and 2011 tour), and this second date was quickly added.

Tickets for this second night go on sale tomorrow morning (Thursday, June 17th) at 9am, through the official ticket agents Ticketmaster. Please remember to use our links to Ticketmaster, which gives us much needed help with site running costs, and won't cost you a penny/cent more!

A new Pink Floyd book has managed to sneak under the BD radar, and is due to be published next week - Monday, June 21st. "Pink Floyd: The Music and the Mystery" is described as "the ultimate illustrated discography of Pink Floyd, [including] seperate sections on the work of Roger Waters and Syd Barrett". It is written by Andy Mabbett, publisher and editor of The Amazing Pudding fanzine (which ran at the same time as Brain Damage fanzine back in the 1980s/early 1990s), and contributer to a couple of other books from Omnibus Press.

We currently have no other details of this 168 page book but of course we're trying to get some more information for you. If, however, you want to add this to your Pink Floyd bookshelf, advance orders, at up to 32% discount, are being taken at: Amazon UK, Amazon US/International, Amazon Canada, Amazon France, or Amazon Germany.

Just published is the latest issue - number 16 - of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name.

The 52-page magazine in Italian and English includes plenty of news from the last six months or so, with a look at the US dates announced for Roger's Wall tour (obviously going to press before the European dates were revealed); a look at the Syd Barrett fund and the work done by the individuals behind it (including Symon Vegro, author of "All That You Touch"); the Floyd in 1969 and 1970; and a general news wrap-up.

More details can be found at www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.htm, where you can get individual copies, and subscription enquiries (four issues costing 20 euros within Europe, and 30 euros outside Europe) should go to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it - make sure you mention Brain Damage when you write!

With the continued rollout of tickets for the Europe 2011 tour of Roger Waters The Wall, another night has just been added due to strong and fast ticket sales. Our friends in Germany will be delighted to hear a second evening at the SAP Arena, in Mannheim, has been added for June 4th. Tickets are now on sale through www.Eventim.de.
