Polly Samson has announced a series of three evenings of “words and music” in the UK. The special events will take place in March and April in Manchester, Birmingham and London and will feature an interview with Polly Samson, as well as readings, film and live music.
The audience will be transported to the Greek island of Hydra in 1960, and a world dancing on the edge of revolution, where a circle of poets, painters, writers and musicians live tangled lives. It’s a story of utopian dreams and innocence lost, of the troubled King and Queen of Bohemia, Charmian Clift and George Johnson, of a young poet named Leonard Cohen, and his Marianne; and of Erica Hart, an 18-year-old in search of answers.
David Gilmour will appear, playing live music, including a new song written by David and Polly, titled Yes, I Have Ghosts.
Tickets for the three evenings are on sale now, just head to the links below!

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets - Live At The Roundhouse (Trailer)
Ever since eagle eyed Pink Floyd fans noticed cameras at some of the London gigs on the 2019 Saucerful of Secrets tour, we’ve been waiting for news with bated breath. Today we finally get the details of those recordings, in the form of the ‘Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets: Live at the Roundhouse’. The concert comes in a few varieties, including CD+DVD, Blu-ray and Double Vinyl and will release on April 17th, 2020/
“Nick Mason, the only band member to have played on all of Pink Floyd’s studio albums, returns to the group’s earliest records, joined in the line-up by Gary Kemp, Guy Pratt, Lee Harris and Dom Beken. Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets took the drummer back to clubs for the first time in 1967, then to theatres, across the UK, North America and Europe, playing only music his old band had recorded before The Dark Side of the Moon. Captured from the band’s celebrated shows at London’s Roundhouse, where Pink Floyd played some of their most revered early shows in the 1960s, the film features a uniquely thrilling setlist including songs hailing from Syd Barrett’s time with the band. Only four songs from this eclectic roster have ever previously appeared on official live releases by Pink Floyd or its members. Everything else is being experienced for the first time since their original live performances.”

In September of 2019, friend of the site Dr. John Haas, a History Professor at Cerritos College in California, sat down with Roger Waters to discuss a wide range of topics. Roger was kind enough to give Dr. Haas 90 minutes of his time, so get comfortable before starting this one.
Roger Waters talks about BDS, Human Rights and Pink Floyd.
