Brain Damage and A Fleeting Glimpse

Pink Floyd 1987WELCOME 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?!

We now know that Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, digital and cinema screenings are on their way, with the releases on May 2nd, and the cinema screenings shortly before. 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!

Unicorn reforming for one-off gig Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Saturday, 29 June 2013

UnicornUnicorn are reforming for a one off gig at the Croissant Neuf Summer Festival in Wales on August 10th. Famously championed by David Gilmour, who covered their track There's No Way Out Of Here on his 1978 debut solo album (and also produced albums and performed with them too), Unicorn are set to play their first concert since 1977 on the Big Top solar-powered stage at CNSP!

Following the path laid by bands such as The Byrds, Poco and The Eagles, Unicorn instilled their own British flair into country rock in the 1970s, releasing albums in the UK and USA on Capitol Records.

CNSP Festival Director Andy Hope saw the band live in the 70s and got in touch with bassist and founding member, Pat Martin, to see if they would consider playing at the festival based near Usk in Monmouthshire. This led to original members Pat and Ken Baker inviting guitarists Nick Powell and Chris Wiley to a jam session where, Pat explained, "We haven't played together since [original drummer] Pete Perryer died and it was the first time Ken had played in a band situation since the late 70s, but we felt the buzz and wanted to play live again."

Running between August 8-11, 2013, Croissant Neuf Summer Party is a multi-award winning family friendly festival with a very green conscience. Since its debut in 2007 the solar powered festival has been a haven for families with a bursting line-up of music, circus, fun and games situated in the stunning hills near Usk in Monmouthshire. Tickets are now available through CNSP.co.uk.
