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, resulted in the band carrying on from where they left off, with numerous shows in 2022/2023 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. The band clearly had a great time over the last couple of years, as they are performing more shows in 2024! 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 starts on FRIDAY (February 23rd, 2024) at 10am CET - local time (9am UK time), via this link at Eventim.de.
WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD! Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played! Show thirty-five of the 2024 UK and European tour tour, and the Saucers arrive in Frankfurt, Germany for the twenty-first - and sadly, final - night of the European leg. As with previous shows, we can confirm that the band were on great form and the crowd gave the band a very healthy ovation at the end! Did you go to this show? Let us know! That's it - the 2024 dates are concluded - but we hope and pray that this isn't it for what immediately became apparent back in 2018, is a great band, playing all sorts of gems from Pink Floyd's early days, and clearly having fun doing it. This is no tribute band, going through the motions and giving identical, soulless performances night after night - this is a true group, exploring the music and sounds with an intrinsic understanding of the feel and emotion, working together to create memorable experiences for audiences night after night... YOUR HELP NEEDED! We want to cover Nick's concerts the best we can, to share the experience with everyone, especially those who won't be able to attend the shows. We'd love to see ANY pictures, tickets scans, reviews, newspaper reports, and anything else you come across for this show - we look forward to hearing from you! |
