Today (Sunday November 7th) saw the 71st annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run event, which attracts vintage cars and drivers from all over the world, to celebrate the introduction of the Highway Act. This permitted light locomotives to increase their top speed from 4mph to 14mph and abolished the requirement to be preceded by a man on foot carrying a red flag!
For a number of years, Pink Floyd's Nick Mason has entered his 1901 Panhard et Levassor into the event, and most years, has done all the driving himself - whatever the weather may bring! The car, a four cylinder, 24 brake horsepower, open topped vehicle, is the one remaining example of this make and model, making its appearance amidst the other rarities, even more special.

We previously made mention of an upcoming feature on Pink Floyd in the excellent Word Magazine. We now have full details of what sounds like a fascinating read...
Initially, the band were due to appear on the cover, but with the tragic death of John Peel, the day before they went to press, a tribute to the DJ has taken precedence (naturally). Pink Floyd, one of John's favourite bands, still appears, as a drop in at the top of the cover (see right).

Prior to his appearance at the Elmwood Hall as part of the Belfast Festival, Pink Floyd's Nick Mason was interviewed on BBC1 Northern Ireland during their First Stop programme, on November 1st.
The interview, conducted by Ralph McLean (who later was to interview him during the Festival talk), was held in a small, upstairs bar at the famous Morrison's in the heart of Belfast. Broadcast live, the show is a regular update of all that's happening in the world of the arts, and during the Festival, goes out three times a week.
With Nick in town, presenter Ralph McLean, a self-confessed massive Floyd fan, wasn't going to let the opportunity pass to have a quick chat and let the Irish public know about the release of Nick's book about the band.
