 WELCOME 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 and cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options have now been announced.
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! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital on August 1st!

 Nick Mason takes a break from his various music-related activities to participate in a fairly unique annual motoring event, taking place this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday (June 22nd - 24th).
Nick will be - amongst other things - driving a replica of the famous 1936 supercharged V16 Auto Union C-Type racing car. The car will be one of the many notable vehicles in action as part of the 2007 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and for a sneak video preview of Nick putting the car through its paces, read on...
Of the replica, created in 1998, Nick said: "The Auto Union comes from one of the most famous and exotic eras in motor racing. Driving it, I gain so much respect for the people who drove them as well as the talented engineers who designed such a ground-breaking machine.
"The C-Type is beautifully designed, engineered and built - completely without compromise - and sounds wonderful. I'm very privileged to get the opportunity to drive such a famous and pioneering racing car - I feel very honoured."
To the right are a couple of shots of Nick with the car - to see the video preview, use this link at the German Spiegel.de website, or click on the pictures themselves.
The Goodwood Festival Of Speed can justifiably claim to be the world’s biggest and most diverse celebration of the history of motor sport. It is the only occasion where you will see in action the greatest competition cars and star drivers from all eras: everything from 19th century steam carriages to current Formula One; fabulous racing motorcycles; classic rally cars to 3000bhp dragsters; plus
motor sport legends like Moss, Surtees, Brabham and Andretti rubbing shoulders with today's hottest properties such as Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Petter Solberg and Colin McRae.
Now confirmed for this year's event, is hot driving sensation, Lewis Hamilton, who will no doubt get a huge reaction from the crowds when he appears on Sunday!
The Festival is held annually, and is held in the grounds of Lord March's estate, near Chichester, Sussex, in the south of England, and has static displays, demonstration runs, and timed runs, up the hill past Goodwood House. For the children, there is the Junior Festival Of Speed which includes, this year, the Wacky Racers and also Roary The Racing Car! As a side note, children under 12 get in free - even more reason to make a family day out of the event.
More information on the event can be found at the Goodwood.co.uk/fos website.
In 2004, a lavish book was written to commemorate the Festival, and included within its pages is an article by Nick Mason, along with pictures of him at the event. Click here to see our review of the book.
