 Last Friday (February 8th) saw Nick Mason jamming with budding stars at a disabled children's special school in London, today's Islington Gazette reports.
The wildly enthusiastic crowd were celebrating not only the appearance of Pink Floyd's drummer, but a £20,000 donation from a local law firm, which paid for a drumming teacher and equipment for
music rooms at The Bridge School, which caters for youngsters with severe learning difficulties and autism.
Nick was asked to come along by a friend with a child at the school, and talked to the Islington Gazette about the event.

 Born and raised in Cambridge, Tim Renwick is a name familiar to most of you. He is an old friend of David Gilmour, and he was a key part of Pink Floyd's touring band from 1987 onwards. He played with the band at the Live8 concert in Hyde Park in 2005. He also played with Roger Waters on his Pros and Cons tour of 1984.
Sadly, he has just been in contact with the Sound On Sound music recording magazine's website to report the theft of his own guitars from his studio, and in case any Brain Damage visitors can help, we've included the information here about what has gone missing...

Apologies to all of you who tried to visit Brain Damage yesterday (particularly in the afternoon/evening). As you would have seen, the site was down. This was due to someone doing something they shouldn't on our hosts servers! All should be back to normal now, and hopefully this situation won't happen again...

The March 2008 issue of the UK's Guitar & Bass Magazine has just arrived on the store shelves, and in it is a fascinating 7-page article and interview with Phil Taylor, David Gilmour's guitar tech (amongst other duties).
Starting life as "a humble production line instrument", the iconic guitar has been heavily modified over the years, and Phil takes the interviewer through an interesting tour of its history. Of course, details are brief, and the full story (along with some wonderful pictures) can be found in Phil's book The Black Strat (review and ordering details here).
Phil also gives an update on the progress Fender are making on a DG Signature Strat. Whilst nothing is definite, Phil notes that the signature model is "progressing from a possibility to a probability - but nothing is signed and sealed".
More details of the magazine can be found at www.guitarmagazine.co.uk.
