On the eve of the much anticipated release of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets: Live At The Roundhouse, there's a couple of things involving Guy Pratt which may help ease you through the wait for the postman to deliver the goodies to your house!
The first is the start of an ongoing series of podcast interviews conducted by Guy with his Saucers bandmate, Gary Kemp. Rockonteurs aims to bring the "real stories behind real music", promising "exclusive stories of life on the road, in the studio and what really happened behind the scenes". The first podcast is a 40 minute chat with a further fellow bandmate - none other than Nick Mason! Episode two is also now available, and features Sir Bob Geldof, who of course played Pink in The Wall movie. Later episodes will find Gary and Guy talking to Phil Manzanera, Trevor Horn, Chris Difford, and others.
You can hear and subscribe to the podcast via your favourite podcast service; here it is on Spotify:
If that's not enough to keep you going, Guy has also been speaking to RollingStone.com in a lengthy, and typically honest and revealing interview, which you really should check out here.
