Our hearty congratulations to Nick Mason, who has just been awarded the honour of Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the British New Year's Honours list, which has now been announced.
Nick is receiving the award for services to music.
The awards are to recognise the achievements and service of people across the United Kingdom, and whilst New Year's Day being the official day of announcement, the recipients are normally revealed a few days earlier. The awards are presented by the Queen, or one of her family representing her, in a formal ceremony normally held at Buckingham Palace.
Again, our congratulations to Nick for this deserved recognition!

Think: Floyd Experience, Pink Floyd saxophonist and rhythm guitar player Scott Page's new project with Roger Waters' Robbie Wyckoff, Jane's Addiction's Stephen Perkins, Fishbone's Norwood Fisher, Kid Rock's Kenny Olson, Jon Stankorb (of Signs of Life, the American Pink Floyd) and Pink Floyd background vocalist Roberta Freeman has been enjoying a run of successful shows in a unique Los Angeles
venue: they play again this evening and tomorrow night.
Think: Floyd Experience, which launched a few weeks ago, has performed several sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Wisdome. Wisdome is described as a "fully immersive entertainment art park"; the facility is a "35,000 square foot art and entertainment park located in the heart of the Los Angeles Arts District featuring technologically advanced, fully immersive audio-visual experiences." For anyone paying attention to Los Angeles over the last 20 years, this venue is in the middle of downtown Los Angeles' epic renaissance.
In addition to being known for his tenures with Toto, Supertramp, and Pink Floyd, Page is recognized for combining multi-media and technology to create immersive experiences. In 1992 Page organized "The Grand Scientific Musical Theatre," a multimedia concert fundraiser in Las Vegas. It was a fundraiser for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It was done in conjunction with giants such as Microsoft and IBM, and featured Cirque du Soleil, Todd Rundgren, Alan Parsons, The Turtles, Jon Anderson, Graham Nash, John Entwistle, James Burton, Tower of Power, Edgar Winter, Jim Keltner, and guitarist Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter and others. Think: Floyd Experience is Page's latest effort to converge technology and music to create a more visceral live performance experience.
The shows are this evening (Friday, December 28th) and tomorrow night (Saturday, December 29th) and run from 7PM through 12AM PST (the concert itself takes place at 10pm PST). Tickets range from $49 - $99 and can be purchased atwisdome.la/think-floyd-exp .

An early Christmas present for some of our German readers - Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have just extended their 2019 tour, adding a show at the Freilichtbühne at Loreley, in St. Goarshausen, Germany.
The band will be headlining the middle day of the three day Night of the Prog Festival being held at Loreley, which plays to some 15,000 people each day. The festival have progressively been announcing acts for each day, and some of these can already been seen at the official website which can be found at NightOfTheProgFestival.com.
A range of tickets for the festival are already on sale, and with this announcement, we're sure they will sell quickly. You can obtain them from wiv-ticket-shop.com - there are a range of options including accommodation, and a choice of buying tickets for individual days, or for the entire festival.
As normal, we have set up a dedicated page for this particular concert (found here) which, with your help, will have all sorts of useful information, pictures, reviews and more.

Just published is the latest issue (number 32 - cover date December 2018) of the Pink Floyd fanzine "Heyou" run by our friends over at the Italian website of the same name. The 52-page dual language magazine (in Italian and English), which is published every six months or so, catches up with things in the Floyd world.
The magazine has as its two major focuses, Roger Waters performing live as part of his Us + Them 2018 tour in Milan, Italy, and Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets - in particular their pub gigs in May this year. The Waters in Milan piece is a review of the show, taking in every aspect, from arriving at the venue, greeted by bootleg t-shirts and scarves, through each song in the show.
The principal part of the analysis of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets is a review of the Half Moon, Putney show of May 23rd - the middle show of the three performed there. There's also an interview with Nick conducted by Rock Cellar, which Heyou reprints with an Italian translation too.
Elsewhere there is an article about a Floyd exhibition staged in Padova by the Floydseum, focused on the band's Italian shows. There's also a review of AyseDeniz Gokcin's concert with The Echoes Acoustic Experience, and a reprint (again with an Italian translation) of the press explanation of the story of Roger's The Soldier's Tale release.
As with most issues of Heyou, there's a chronological look at things that have happened in the last few months in the news pages, ranging from various magazines published with Floyd content, to re-issues, books published, and more.
More details of the Heyou fanzine can be found at www.heyou.it/fsubscrbd.html, where you can get individual copies, and subscription enquiries (four issues costing 35 euros within Europe, and 45 euros outside Europe) should go to
