The Cambridge Evening News and local charity Escape Artists are delighted with Roger Waters' support of their latest project.

Cambridge Cantata, "a celebration of the city's life, people and culture" by composer Simon Gunton, looks at the history of the University city. The choir of King's College Chapel will be joined by award-winning instrumentalists Cantata Collective for the world premiere of the piece. It is a fusion of classical, rock, jazz and blues music, and includes a reworking of the Pink Floyd classic, Grantchester Meadows, Roger's tribute to the peaceful paradise of the Meadows on a summer afternoon.

Nick Mason's wonderful book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd" is selling well, helped by the interviews and appearances that Nick has made in promotion of the tome. For some time now, we have given the possibility for Brain Damage visitors to order a personally signed, dedicated copy of the book, by Nick himself.

During recent contact with Nick's office, they confirmed that books are still available, and they have supplied us with updated order forms for the book.

Further to our news last week concerning the performances of Roland's Petit's "Pink Floyd Ballet", performed by the Asami Maki Ballet company of Tokyo, in Paris, France, we've now been told that the show will also be going to Barcelona, Spain, this week!
