Nick Mason - NYC interview and signing session
Written by Matt

With Nick Mason's impending guest appearance with Roger Waters at his upcoming New York City shows (at the Madison Square Garden), Nick has obviously decided to make the most of his time in the Big Apple, with a signing session at Best Buy, and a radio interview.

First, the interview. This takes place at 8am EDT on Tuesday morning (TOMORROW!), and forms part of Jim Kerr's morning show on Q104.3 in New York. Q104.3 streams its programming via Q1043.com and typically, Kerr's interviews are made available as downloads via their website and also iTunes. Currently available are a few of his past chats with Roger, Nick and also David Gilmour.

Q104.3 will also be running a "cut-the-line promotion": two winners and their guests get to cut the line and meet Nick privately. They win a copy of Pulse, and two tickets to the Dark Side of the Moon show at Jones Beach. The promotion will be on their website, and will be mentioned on air from tomorrow.

UPDATE AND DOWNLOAD DETAILS: The interview was a very enjoyable 23 minute affair, with Nick on top form talking about Inside Out, the PULSE DVD, his guest appearance with Roger, and much more. Part way through, he got a sudden shock when the voice of "your friend, your boss!" (Roger) boomed around the studio courtesy of a show ident! You can, through this link at Q1043.com either listen to the interview via a web stream, download the whole thing as a 13.1MB MP3 file, or subscribe to the Jim Kerr interviews as a regular podcast. There are also many of the older interviews available through this same link.

Turning to the signing session, Nick is scheduled to appear at Best Buy Midtown, which is on 5th Avenue (at 44th Street) in the heart of New York City, on Thursday (September 14th) at 6pm. He will be signing copies of Pink Floyd's PULSE DVD, as well as his book "Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd".

 

We've had many people email us following the various book signing sessions Nick has undertaken over the last year or so, with everyone having had a great time, and being knocked out at Nick's generosity and good humour at the events.


This one-off event is likely to be incredibly popular - so if you intend seeing him at the store, please be early, as spaces are limited! If you attend the signing, please let us know.

Our thanks to Lars from Columbia Records for the information!
