Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets is currently back on tour, celebrating the music that Pink Floyd created before their global stadium days. Led by Pink Floyd’s drummer Nick Mason, the band performs psychedelic visions from the late Syd Barrett era. The Saucerful of Secrets band are back on the road after a short break and have so far announced shows across the UK and Europe. I will be watching them in Manchester on 19th June so cannot wait!
There has been a change to the set list being performed at the shows but I won’t spoil the surprise by sharing the details here. Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets has introduced some fresh material into their set list for the 2024 tour. While they continue to celebrate Pink Floyd’s early music, you can expect a mix of classic tracks and lesser-known gems. It’s a delightful blend that captures the essence of that era!

There was also a medal and a birthday cake for Barry Knight.”

He recalled, “The Luxembourg concert is fabulous again. What a great atmosphere. Nick and Band call it the best place to play, and it is indeed the best place to hear Nick and the Saucers live. At the Band presentation is the applause for Nick very loudly and long, it will not ending. The telephone call from ‘Roger’ is very funny. There was a very loudly crying voice from the phone, Nick was surprised by it and had to laugh….also the band was laughing on it, was it a sort of roady trick? With A Saucerful of Secrets it was a ‘Grande Finale’. Den Atelier turned in a big Choir, so Celestial Voices where great again. A very long and loudly ending applause was the result. So it was a great evening in Luxembourg”.

Overview of Nick Mason’s Band
In the rich tapestry of Pink Floyd’s history, one might argue that their initial, psychedelic phase is often overshadowed by their later, more commercially successful albums. Addressing this imbalance, Nick Mason, the venerable drummer and the only member to have been consistently part of Pink Floyd since its inception, formed “Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets” in 2018.
Unlike the stadium-filling tours of Roger Waters or David Gilmour’s solo ventures, Mason’s outfit deliberately steers clear of the more mainstream anthems. Instead, the band delves deep into the Syd Barrett era, performing tracks from the first two Pink Floyd albums, “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” and “A Saucerful of Secrets“, among other early gems. It’s a treasure trove for die-hard fans, providing a rare chance to experience live renditions of tracks that haven’t been performed in over half a century. The Saucerful of Secrets Tour 2023 has been epic.
Band Members in Saucerful of Secrets
The band, consisting of Nick Mason alongside Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet on vocals and guitar, Lee Harris from the Blockheads on guitar, Guy Pratt on bass and vocals (who previously toured with Pink Floyd in the post-Waters era), and Dom Beken on keyboards, has an authentic chemistry. They don’t simply reproduce the songs; they breathe a new vitality into them, respecting the original spirit while adding their own subtle nuances.
Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets is more than just a tribute to Pink Floyd’s early days. It’s a testament to the timeless nature of the music and a heartfelt homage to the genius of Syd Barrett. For both seasoned Pink Floyd enthusiasts and newcomers to their early work, Mason’s ensemble offers a magical journey back to the roots of one of the most influential bands in rock history. In a world where nostalgia is a powerful force, Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets stands out, offering an authentic and passionate celebration of music that defined an era.
How the Band Came About
In 2015, after attending a David Gilmour concert with his friend Guy Pratt, Harris started playing Pink Floyd music again and came up with the idea to play early Floyd-era songs with Nick Mason.
Lee Harris, Guy Pratt, Nick Mason, Gary Kemp, and Dom Beken formed Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets in November 2017 with Lee Harris as co-founder. The band’s discography includes “Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets Live at the Roundhouse.”
