The pair of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets shows at London's Roundhouse on May 3rd and 4th last year brought the band's story - at that stage - nicely full circle. The previous May (12 months prior) saw the first public performance of Nick's new band, in Camden, North London. For that performance, it was in front of just 500 friends, family and fans, at Dingwall's. One year later, the success of the venture thus far meant that a handful of cameras filmed the Aylesbury show and the first of these Roundhouse gigs, with a grand total of 18(!) cameras were pressed into action for the second night at the Roundhouse. These included remotely operated cameras, and one suspended on wires which flew back and forth above the audience. The result of this expensive and challenging filming and recording exercise (cameras were positioned to minimise any impact on the audience) is announced this afternoon with Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets: Live At The Roundhouse coming on April 17th, 2020. UPDATE: this has now been postponed until September 18th, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Released through Sony Records, it is being made available as a 2CD/DVD package, on double vinyl and on Blu-ray. They include the show in its entirety, and the video formats include some additional footage too including interviews and rehearsals. Pre-orders are now being taken, and links to these are shown below. To give you a flavour of this release, here's the new, three-minute trailer that has been created to promote it: For a full viewing of Live At The Roundhouse, it has also been announced that there will be exclusive screenings coming to cinemas in selected cities worldwide for one night only on March 10th, 2020 - details of participating cinemas can be found at NickMasonFilm.com where tickets can also be purchased.
