Celebrating the publication in France yesterday of his book "Inside Out - A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", Nick Mason visited the Virgin Megastore along the Champs-Elysées in the heart of Paris. There, he met a huge number of fans, and signed books amongst other things for them. This was part of his promotional visit to Paris which concludes tomorrow.
Nick was on good form, and spent over two hours with the vast number of people who turned up specifically to see him. All kinds of questions were asked of Nick - one of the most common seemed to be when the band would perform live again. He replied that he would enjoy that, but he didn't know if David [Gilmour] wanted to do it.
We have a selection of pictures from the evening below. Our thanks to the many who wrote with pictures and information - in particular Mathieu Cusin, Guillaume Birglen (& Sylvie), Laurent Wattre, and Nico from the Signs Of Floyd website.
Nick is also undertaking a number of interviews with various parts of the press, as mentioned two days ago. An update to this, is that a radio interview with Nick is scheduled for broadcast tomorrow (Friday) lunchtime. On the France Inter radio station, Nick will be interviewed in the thirty minute "La Treize Quatorze" show, airing at 13:00hrs.
If any of our French readers can help out with recordings of the TV or radio interviews, or scans of the newspaper or magazine articles, we'd really appreciate it!
The book can be ordered from Amazon in France, in three formats: French language version, the English language version, and the audiobook read by Nick himself on 3 CDs.
