COMMENTS
When Nick Mason made comments in Italy about heading out to small venues, to play early Pink Floyd songs, few took the remarks seriously. As unlikely as it seemed, Nick was entirely truthful and in the initial announcement a set of four shows in London were announced for his new band. Due to the critical success of those shows, held in small venues in Camden and Putney, a full European tour has been announced with this date one part of this.
Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets brings together some familiar names, all great musicians: joining Nick are Gary Kemp and Lee Harris on guitars, Guy Pratt on bass, and Dom Beken on keyboards. Kemp is best known for his work with Spandau Ballet, Harris as having played guitar with The Blockheads (Ian Dury's band), Pratt needs no introduction, and Beken is principally known for his work with The Orb, and Transit Kings (with Pratt). The band will be playing early Pink Floyd songs.
This is a unique opportunity to experience Pink Floyd's celebrated and significant early body of work played live including songs from albums 'The Piper At The Gates of Dawn' and 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'.
The regular sale of tickets started on FRIDAY, MAY 25th at 9am (UK time), via Seetickets.com.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
The second to last show of the 2018 tour is here, north of the border in the Scottish city of Glasgow. Always a good reception for bands here, and tonight was no exception.
For this latest show on the tour, during his customary initial thanks and welcome to the audience, Nick said: "Well, we're very pleased to be here, and in case you're not aware of it, we are not the Australian Roger Waters, or the Danish David Gilmours, we are Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets. We hope you're going to have as much fun as we are."
All good things must come to an end, sadly, with tomorrow night being the final show of the 2018 tour, back down in England, at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham.
We'd love to know from those attending how they felt the concert went. How was the show for you, if you were one of the fortunate ones to attend? Let us know what YOU thought!
