NICK MASON'S SAUCERFUL
OF SECRETS
Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets is more than a band—it’s a time machine, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the early sounds of Pink Floyd. Formed in 2018 by Pink Floyd’s legendary drummer, Nick Mason, the project revives the band's often overlooked and deeply experimental pre-Dark Side of the Moon catalog. With a focus on albums like The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets, the band creates a vivid sonic journey that honors the creative spirit of Syd Barrett and the group's formative years.
Mason is joined by a lineup of accomplished musicians, including Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, longtime Pink Floyd touring bassist Guy Pratt, guitarist Lee Harris, and keyboardist Dom Beken. Together, they reimagine Pink Floyd’s early material, presenting it with both reverence and fresh energy. Far from being a typical tribute act, the band’s performances are a loving homage, delivered by musicians who share a deep connection to the music’s origins and evolution.
The live shows have been praised for their immersive, intimate feel, often performed in smaller venues that allow for a close connection with the audience. Fans are treated to rare gems like "Arnold Layne," "Astronomy Domine," and "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," tracks that are seldom heard live in modern performances. These concerts are both a celebration of Pink Floyd's groundbreaking innovation and a tribute to a period of music history that paved the way for psychedelic rock as we know it.
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets serves as a bridge between the past and the present, offering longtime fans and new audiences alike the chance to rediscover the raw creativity and bold experimentation of Pink Floyd's earliest days. For Mason, this endeavor is not only a return to his roots but also a chance to keep the spirit of exploration alive in modern rock. It's a heartfelt reminder of how the band’s journey began and the enduring impact of their music.
