Exciting news for our favorite drummer Nick Mason! He is to be made an honorary citizen of Pompeii tomorrow 24th July, 2023. The same day his Saucerful Of Secrets are to take the stage at the Teatro Grande! 52 years after he played Pompeii with Pink Floyd and filmed their highly acclaimed concert film ‘Live at Pompeii.’ Our most heartfelt congratulations go out to Nick!

An an Italian news resource goes on to say (Article has been translated to English):

The legendary Pink Floyd drummer, the only member of the band to have played on all their studio albums, returns to the excavations of Pompeii in concert on July 24 in the Teatro Grande, 52 years after the historic live behind closed doors, filmed and immortalized by the cameras of Adrian Maben, with his ‘Saucerful Of Secrets’, produced by D’Alessandro e Galli. 

Unanimously approved the honorary citizenship of Pompeii as well as to Nick Mason, the ceremony presided over by the mayor Carmine Lo Sapio, will be held at the Municipality in the council hall on the same day of the concert.
 
Accompanying Nick Mason on stage will be a superband he founded in 2018: Guy Pratt on bass (with Pink Floyd since 1987), Gary Kemp vocals and guitar (founding member of Spandau Ballet), Lee Harris (Blockheads) on solo guitar and Dom Beken (The Orb) on keyboards. The show will focus on the first albums of Pink Floyd’s career pre ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’. A return to the dawn that will stage the superband, to the years when Syd Barrett “crazy diamond” was the author of the lyrics and the soul of what would later become one of the largest and most influential groups in history. Mason stated that they are not a tribute band, but that they want to ‘capture the spirit of the time and transmit it to the public’ through tracks extracted from records such as ‘The Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ (1967), ‘A Saucerful Of Secrets’ (1968), ‘Ummagumma’ (1969) and ‘Meddle’ (1971).

August 7th sees the UK/Ireland release of ‘Squaring The Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)’ in a special Bluray/DVD collectors edition.

Celebrated photographer, creative director and filmmaker Anton Corbijn’s first feature documentary SQUARING THE CIRCLE (the story of Hipgnosis) tells the story of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, the creative geniuses behind the iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis, responsible for some of the most recognizable album covers of all time. They formed Hipgnosis in Cambridge during the ferment of the sixties and became rock royalty during the boom time of the seventies. They conjured into existence sights that no one had previously thought possible, produced visuals which popularized music that had previously been considered fringe, and were at the white-hot centre of the maddest, funniest and most creative era in the history of popular music.

During this period, record companies didn’t dictate to acts like Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney what their LP covers should look like – Storm and Po did. They made money; they lost money. They did great things; they did silly things. They fell out bitterly; they made up. They never played a note, but they changed music. The film features brand new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Graham Gouldman of 10cc, Noel Gallagher, and many more.

Just posted on the Syd Barrett Official YouTube page is a new lyric video for “Love Song” and its so lovely seeing Syd’s drawings come to life and it’s really tastefully done and incredibly sweet, its worth checking out!

Created by Swedish animator The Artist On The Border the film is inspired by the love letters Syd wrote to his girlfriends Libby Gausden Chisman and Jenny Spires in the heady, magical late Sixties when Pink Floyd were setting out on the road to fame.

The Artist On The Border spoke about his film ‘Love song” takes us head first into to young Syd Barrett’s letters, prominently featured in Rocket 88s book “Barrett – the definitive visual companion”. Though “Love song” most likely was written in the early 1970s, the lyrics work as a handwritten poem, a letter to someone special. Syd would often illustrate his letters with small cartoons or seemingly random images. In this animated creation I want you to dive into the whimsical, magical experience of just having received a handwritten Love letter from him. Signed “Love, Syd!”

We have shown the film to both Libby and Jenny, and they are both thrilled with it. Libby Gausden Chisman said ”I think it’s absolutely lovely xx” Jenny Spires said “Seeing these adorable little stick men and the band drawings Syd sent me come to life in this way is extraordinary. Syd would have been completely fascinated by it …. just lovely to see… thank you.”
