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!

Nick Mason on Children In Need charity album - more details Print E-mail

Nick Mason - Bandaged Together, for BBC Children In NeedFurther to our previous story about Nick Mason's participation in one of the fund-raising efforts of this year's BBC Children In Need charity campaign, we have full information for you now of the release details, how you can buy the album and single, and how you can hear a sneak preview of the track that Nick not just drums on, but makes a rare vocal performance on too!

Nick was amongst the stars who assembled at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios on September 7th to help record a special version of the Beatles classic, All You Need Is Love, which will be used on the forthcoming Bandaged Together album that will be raising money for Children In Need.

We now know that the Bandaged Together album will be released on November 9th, 2009, and can be pre-ordered from November 1st at www.CharityGoods.com. It will also be available in all the main Tesco stores following this release date.

The album is a double album as the organisers had so many people interesting in being part this album this year, so it will cost £13.00 to purchase, and £7.00 of this will go straight to BBC Children in Need. Tesco have very generously agreed to match this figure for the sales in their stores.

The album consists of a mixture of nostalgic and children's songs all from years gone by:

They will be releasing "All You Need Is Love" as a single on download on November 1st, and are hoping to get the single into a high street outlet as well - this is to be confirmed. However, if you want a sneak preview of the track, and are in the UK, you can tune in again to Friday morning's Wake Up With Wogan radio show on BBC Radio 2, where they gave the world's first airing of the song.

You can do this by firing up the BBC iPlayer and going to October 16th show (direct link here). The song is played right at the end of the show, so you'll need to skip through to the 1 hour, 57 minute point. They play most of the song, and it's a nice version, with multi-handed vocals much like Do They Know It's Christmas had a line sung per performer. Nick is the drummer on the track, and also adds his voice to the choruses. One of just a handful of known Nick Mason vocal performances available!

On the single (the sleeve of which is shown to the right, under the album cover) are the following people:
Midge Ure, Nick Mason, Bill Wyman, Brian May, Terry Taylor, Jason Rebello, Sharon Corr, Lee Mead, Hayley Westenra, Paloma Faith, Clare Teal, Cara Dillon, Bailey Tzuke, Red Hurley, Sir Terry Wogan, Finbar Furey, Ade Edmondson, Troy Donockley, Andy Dinan, Peter Gabriel, Hugh Cornwell, Anthony Head, Beth Rowley, Heather Small, Imelda May, the Kingswood School Orchestra and Singers ( Leader: Laura Cross). The Chorus Vocals: Mark Moraghan, Samantha Bond, Rosie Austin, Evy Lee, Ennis Langdon, Carlton Sheekey, J La Touche, Sarah Greene, Geneta Crooke, Judie Tzuke, Monica George, Ciara Janson, Angie Shaw, Emily Breeze, Bevin Sutherland, Catherine Anne Davies, Lenny Savage, Deborah Jordan, Esther O'Connor, Sophie Delila, Emma Payn, Caroline Harrison, Katey Brooks, Alex Lester, Hayley Daviss, Melanie Gabriel, Emma Stockton, Astrid Brook, Caroline Loftus, Kate Eden, Jasmine Nelson, Maureen Beattie, Bronagh Gallagher, Nina Hynes, Alex Kilpartrick, V Ross, Annette Bowen, Rebecca Thomas, Bazil Mende, Josh Cadmon, Jo Pasquale, Mick Sturbs and Norman Macintosh... and others!

Finishing touches are being made to what is being described as a "fantastic video" that goes with the single.
