COMMENTS
Due to the critical success of the four initial shows in May 2018, held in tiny venues in London's Camden and Putney, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets announced a full European tour for September that year. The expanded shows for the full tour were even more highly acclaimed, and it came as no surprise when further dates for 2019 were announced. The insatiable demand for more dates, in more locations, has resulted in the band carrying on from where they left off, with shows for 2022 taking the music to new fans, as well as those who have already experienced the show, eager for more - particularly with the halt to concerts due to the Coronavirus pandemic!
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 sale of tickets for this new show starts on FRIDAY, MARCH 25th 2022 at 10am (local time), via eTix.com and other normal agents. Using our direct links also helps toward the ongoing running costs of this site, and is really appreciated!

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
Show eighteen of the North American tour saw the band in Tulsa, with a show that we hear went down a storm with the audience. It was the first of three back-to-back shows. Did you go to this show? Let us know!
This show was a special one, being the birthday of Gary Kemp. During the band introductions, a birthday cake, candles ablaze, was brought on stage as Nick and the rest of the band led the audience in a rendition of "Happy Birthday". A nice touch - and with another band member birthday coming on Saturday, potentially to be repeated!
There was one slightly sour moment when Guy was explaining how the Hey Hey Rise Up single had been created to raise funds for Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief, to which one audience member loudly shouted "**** you!", which whatever your views on the situation in that country, humanitarian funds are apolitical and simply helping fellow human beings, and surely not particularly controversial. It was an unexpected moment and hopefully won't be repeated elsewhere.
The band now head to Texas for a brace of shows there, again back to back, first in Grand Prairie, then in Austin.
