Roger Waters lead guitarist Dave Kilminster recently sat down with Ultimate – Guitar to talk about joining the Pink Floyd co-founder’s band, as well as all sorts of gear-related stuff.
“I obviously knew who Pink Floyd were but I didn’t know the names. Other than Dave Gilmour, obviously.“
Released on August 31st, 2018 is ‘Unattended Luggage‘, a three album CD or vinyl box set of my albums ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports‘, ‘Profiles‘ and ‘White of the Eye‘.
These limited edition box sets will be available shortly before our acclaimed new band Saucerful Of Secrets begin their European tour at Cirkus in Stockholm on September 2nd.
“‘Profiles‘ and ‘White of the Eye‘ were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more.
“Listening back after 30 odd years, I’m delighted they are getting the reissue treatment. I’m rather hoping that sales will be sufficient to damage the market in the original rare vinyl versions!” – Nick Mason
The three individual albums will all be available as a download and through streaming platforms.
A full 21 date european tour has been announced, you can find all the details below.

A Source close to AFG has let slip that there will be some floyd related news announced soon.
Word on the street seems to hint very highly of a 3 LP Nick Mason box featuring Fictitious Sports, Profiles, And the previously unreleased White of the Eye soundtrack.
(Click On Photos Above For Full Screen) MG Studios recently let slip thatRoger Waters had been laying down some piano in their studio.
We did a bit of detective work and found out that Roger has indeed been working with Audio Engineer and Producer & multiple Latin Grammy award winner Mike Miglin.
Whilst we cannot confirm what the intention of the session is for we can only hope this the start of the follow up to the very sucessfull Is This The Life We Really Want? album which was released in June 2017.
From all of us at AFG we want to wish Gerald Scarfe a very happy 82nd birthday.
Working withPink Floyd from 1974, he is chiefly known for his excellent and chilling work for The Wall project…
