Yesterday, Nick Mason literally made a flying visit to Sofia in Bulgaria, to promote the latest translation of his book "Inside Out - A Personal History of Pink Floyd".

Having flown in earlier the same day, he presented his book personally to the enthusiastic local audience, and told the assembled Bulgarian media that "It's a pity that I only came here as a writer and not as a drummer!"

"I've simply tried to capture the elements that I think give a picture of what I thought was happening at any one time, and to try to be honest about both the triumphs and the complete shambles that make up a band's existence," Mason said about his writing.

We apologise for the lack of advance notice of this - and we're just waiting to hear if Nick is planning any other upcoming visits to promote his book. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything!
