On Monday evening (November 1st), Pink Floyd's Nick Mason made the journey over to Northern Ireland to participate in the annual Belfast Festival. The Festival takes in all sorts of arts events, from music, to dance, theatre, and visual arts.

Nick wasn't, for once, there to perform musically, but to talk at length about his life in the band, and also out of it. Principally to promote his excellent new book, "Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", the evening was announced a couple of months back, but curiously, despite only being 500 tickets available, at only £5 each, there were still tickets available on the door, come the evening itself!

This week's Top Gear motoring programme turned into a sizeable promotional device for Nick Mason's new book, "Inside Out, A Personal History Of Pink Floyd"! The programme, on BBC TV, was one of the funniest things we've seen for a while... and indeed, when we chatted with Nick after his BBC Northern Ireland interview (see other news), he made mention of the circumstances of his involvement.

Marco Bellocchio’s powerful film GOOD MORNING, NIGHT (Buongiorno, Notte), which features a soundtrack almost exclusively made up of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album, is finally getting a UK cinema release this month.

The excellent new band Long-View have arranged a very special show in London for next week. As part of the show, at the Prince Charles Cinema (just off Leicester Square), they will be showing the film "Pink Floyd - The Wall" in full before they perform tracks from their debut album "Mercury", which is out now.
