Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets poster

Founding Pink Floyd member and drummer Nick Mason has formed a new project called Saucerful of Secrets to play his legendary rock band’s early material. The supergroup features former Pink Floyd bassist Guy Pratt, The Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris, Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, and composer Dom Beken. Next month, they will convene in London to play selections from Pink Floyd’s first two albums, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets.

“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 new group said in a statement. “Very few bands are as culturally important as Pink Floyd. They are one of the best selling music artists of all time and Nick Mason is a founder and the only constant member of the band performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. This will be Nick Mason’s first live musical outing since Pink Floyd played at the 2005 Live 8 concert in London.”
