Nick Mason New Tour Dates Announced for Saucerful of Secrets Tour

Lee Harris, Guy Pratt Nick Mason Ashdown Engineering Bass Amp

Interstellar-600! Guy Pratt’s New Bass Amp from Ashdown – Own One!

Guy Pratt has been the studio and live bass guitar player for Pink Floyd since Roger Waters left the band. He has also worked with all kinds of people over his 40 years career. He is also a funny man doing his My Bass and Other Animals comedy tour which also had a book. Guy has used Ashdown guitar amplifiers over the years and his place in rock and roll history has been firmly cemented in place with a new custom built bass amp, the Interstellar-600. This 600 watt amp has a name inspired by, of course, Interstellar Overdrive which is a firm favourite on the set list of Pink Floyd drummer’s band Nick Mason and his Saucerful of Secrets. As Guy had some downtime over the covid lock down period, the project took off. If you are looking for a new bass amp, pre-order one from Ashdown. Ashdown Press...

Pink Floyd 1986 A Momentary Lapse of Reason Recording

Listen to Rare ‘Yet Another Movie’ Demo Recording

David Gilmour has shared the demo for Yet Another Movie for you to listen to ahead of the Momentary Lapse of Reason remix release later this month. I thought, this week, that we would put up the original demo, written by Pat Leonard and myself, for what was to become ‘Yet Another Movie’ on the ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’ album. Pat Leonard and I met up at Astoria in September 1986 a couple of days after I had played on a Bryan Ferry track that he was producing. We had a glass or two of wine and jammed for hours. For some reason that I can no longer remember I had chosen the fretless bass as my instrument of the day. It turned into a beautiful song. David Gilmour Remix of AMLOR Later This Month… It is interesting to hear how songs develop from their initial demos to the...
