Polly Samson and David Gilmour - A Theatre For Dreamers event

Just announced by Polly Samson are a set of three evenings "of words and music to celebrate [her] new novel, A Theatre For Dreamers, with Polly Samson, David Gilmour and guests".

This special event will feature Polly in conversation with journalist Rosie Boycott, readings, film and live music, including a new song "Yes, I Have Ghosts" written by David and Polly. On his social media channels, David notes that he'll "be performing a few songs, including [the] new one."

The event description notes that "The audience will be transported to the Greek island of Hydra in 1960, and a world dancing on the edge of revolution, where a circle of poets, painters, writers and musicians live tangled lives. It's a story of utopian dreams and innocence lost, of the troubled King and Queen of Bohemia, Charmian Clift and George Johnson, of a young poet named Leonard Cohen, and his Marianne; and of Erica Hart, an 18-year-old in search of answers."

Tickets for the events (dates and locations are shown below) go on sale this coming Friday (February 14th) at 10am UK, through the links alongside them. Tickets include includes a signed first edition of A Theatre For Dreamers and an exclusive portrait of Polly Samson and David Gilmour taken on Hydra and signed by them both.

UPDATE: In a move that isn't overly unexpected with the current global situation with COVID-19, with the UK still experiencing significant deaths and infections, the already rescheduled three evenings presenting A Theatre for Dreamers - An Evening of Words and Music with Polly Samson and David Gilmour have been rescheduled to June 2021.

All tickets will be valid for the new shows, which have been previewed via The Von Trapped Family broadcasts on Polly's Facebook page, and any new purchases will receive a signed copy of the hardback version of the book by Polly Samson and a signed photo by Polly and David Gilmour, which can be collected on the night of the rescheduled shows from the venues themselves.

Existing ticket holders should have already received their book and photo through the post.

Here are the revised dates, all in England:

  • Friday 25th June 2021 - Manchester, Royal Northern College of Music
  • Saturday 26th June 2021 - Birmingham, Town Hall
  • Monday 28th June 2021 - London, Central Hall Westminster

Roger Waters - This Is Not A Drill 2020 TourSome good news for our readers in Mexico - Roger Waters is returning to your country!

It has just been announced that he will be bringing his 2020 This Is Not A Drill tour to Mexico City - and more specifically, the Palacio de los Deportes, a venue which Roger is familiar with, having performed there on his recent, previous tours. The show will take place on October 7th, 2020, and tickets for this go on sale on Monday, February 10th at 11am CST, through this link at Ticketmaster.com.mx.

Roger's upcoming tour is, as normal, shrouded in secrecy, but as the tour posters reveal it is a first for Roger as it is being presented "in the round". This basically means that the stage is sat in the middle of the floor level of the venue, with the band and performance being aimed at those sat all around. This should also mean that most seats in the venue will have an excellent view!

Should additional shows be announced for Mexico, or elsewhere, we will of course let you know as soon as we can!

Brain Damage websiteIMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE:
We're back! As you may have noticed, yesterday the site was unavailable for a short while. Due to some technical changes that were imposed on us by our existing site hosts, we were forced to leave them, and move to new site hosts which will hopefully eradicate the adverts which are appearing some of the time, and may also give a performance boost to things too.

We have taken this step despite it meaning we will lose a lot of money, but hope it brings a much more enjoyable experience for all our visitors. Longer term plans include a fresh new look and feel with some fun new features to further improve things!

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding while we've undertaken this change, and for your support of the website.

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse

The pair of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets shows at London's Roundhouse on May 3rd and 4th last year brought the band's story - at that stage - nicely full circle. The previous May (12 months prior) saw the first public performance of Nick's new band, in Camden, North London. For that performance, it was in front of just 500 friends, family and fans, at Dingwall's. One year later, the success of the venture thus far meant that a handful of cameras filmed the Aylesbury show and the first of these Roundhouse gigs, with a grand total of 18(!) cameras were pressed into action for the second night at the Roundhouse.

These included remotely operated cameras, and one suspended on wires which flew back and forth above the audience. The result of this expensive and challenging filming and recording exercise (cameras were positioned to minimise any impact on the audience) is announced this afternoon with Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets: Live At The Roundhouse coming on April 17th, 2020. UPDATE: this has now been postponed until September 18th, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Released through Sony Records, it is being made available as a 2CD/DVD package, on double vinyl and on Blu-ray. They include the show in its entirety, and the video formats include some additional footage too including interviews and rehearsals. Pre-orders are now being taken, and links to these are shown below. To give you a flavour of this release, here's the new, three-minute trailer that has been created to promote it:

For a full viewing of Live At The Roundhouse, it has also been announced that there will be exclusive screenings coming to cinemas in selected cities worldwide for one night only on March 10th, 2020 - details of participating cinemas can be found at NickMasonFilm.com where tickets can also be purchased. This theatrical event will also include a pre-recorded cinema exclusive Q&A with Nick Mason and the band where they will answer questions submitted by fans.
