AFG wish to send our best wishes to Phil Manzanera who celebrates his 72nd birthday today.
Starting with the song ‘One Slip‘ from the Pink Floyd’s 1987 A Momentary Lapse Of Reason album, Phil was a key person behind Pink Floyd’s The Endless River, as well as being a long-term collaborator with David Gilmour on his On An Island and Rattle That Lock albums.

For the last couple of years, it has been tradition for Nick Mason and his wife Annete to host an open garden event at his very historic Middlewick House estate.
The event will take place on June 3 and 4, 2023, and will include plants for sale, stalls to browse, and farm animals to see. Tea, coffee, cakes, and a selection of food stalls, from BBQ to smoked salmon, are available throughout the day.
The event is all in aid of charity, and with Roger Waters’ This Is Not A Drill European Tour 2023 arriving in the UK around the same time, it’s the perfect way to round off a month of Floydian related activities.

Our compadres over at Pink Floyd Collectors have just brought to light an interesting revelation from the latest book, ‘Through the Prism,” by Pink Floyd Art Director Aubrey Powell
For this edition of Brain Damage, The doctor explores the notion that we forge on to another year as we all get older. This is a twist on a topic of many Pink Floyd songs, a collection of songs that all mention the inevitable of getting older, gotten older and being old.
From all of us at A Fleeting Glimpse we hope Nick Mason has a Very Happy 79th Birthday!
