Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1968WELCOME TO THE 26th YEAR OF BRAIN DAMAGE, YOUR PINK FLOYD, DAVID GILMOUR, NICK MASON, SYD BARRETT, RICHARD WRIGHT AND ROGER WATERS NEWS RESOURCE!

It's 2025! This year sees the 50th anniversary of Wish You Were Here, which is an incredible thought; where does the time go?!

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are now here - with some more cinema screenings in selected places. However you experience it, it is NOT to be missed!

There's also been three Record Store Day releases released on April 12th, from David Gilmour, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, and Roger Waters which are also definitely worth tracking down, either in a participating store, or online, now that RSD has finished.

Last year, David Gilmour's superb new album, Luck and Strange, was released in a variety of formats, and a selection of coloured vinyls. A limited number of concert dates thrilled crowds in Brighton and London, England, Rome, Italy, and Los Angeles and New York, USA. Rome shows were filmed for release at some point...watch this space!

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's the RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too long before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info!

A Floyd flavour to forthcoming charity event? Print E-mail

Billed as "an Evening of Rock 'n' Roll", London's sumptious Porchester Halls plays host to the Sunflower Jam on September 14th - an event that could have a reasonable amount of Floyd-related involvement.

The event is an intimate and informal evening of dinner and musical entertainment, in aid of the Complementary Therapy Team working within cancer services at University College London Hospital (UCLH) working with children, young people and adults with cancer. It costs £5000 per year for one therapist to work for one day a week on the wards with the patients, their families and the staff.

 

Following the champagne reception, the dinner (courtesy of renouned chef Paul Clerehugh of the Crooked Billet), and an auction and raffle, is a one-off concert.

This will include performances from the likes of Robert Plant, Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Paul Weller, Phil Manzanera, Linda Lewis, and Sam Brown supported by a Celebrity House Band including renowned musicians Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens, Margo Buchanan, Nick Fyffe and Bernie Marsden. Many of these have played with David Gilmour at various times in the past, and of course, the great Phil Manzanera is part of David's current touring band. As house bands go, quite a line-up, I'm sure you agree!

Interestingly, amongst the musicians who have been invited to perform, but (we stress) have not confirmed their attendance, are David himself and fellow bandmate Guy Pratt.

Due to the nature of the event, tickets are priced at £250 per ticket, or tables can be bought from £2500. The ticket price includes the food, drink and entertainment.

 

More details and a ticket order form can be obtained from www.TheSunflowerJam.com or via email from This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
