Ahead of the release, in just two week's time (on September 18th), of Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets Live At The Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP, Guy Pratt has recently undergone a couple of great interviews.
The first of these was for the Upwards at 45 Degrees website, where Guy talks the Saucers, Floyd, Bowie, and much more. Find out who are "the sun-dried tomatoes of rock and roll" and why, the significance of Frank Sinatra, and get some great detail on the development of the Saucers set list.

The other interview is in podcast form, with the episode titled More Than The Sideman, and focuses on Guy and his extensive career. Conducted by The Vinyl Guide, Guy details how he landed the Floyd gig after Roger departed, and provides 'behind the scenes' insight into the world of Pink Floyd, the touring, the recordings, the reunions and more. Additionally Pratt provides a detailed insight to the highly regarded Toy Matinee project with Patrick Leonard and Kevin Gilbert, his history in comedy and much more. It's an incredible, one hour and fifteen minute listen, and as with the interview in the first paragraph, we heartily recommend it. Hear it at: https://bit.ly/2GyMDpH or via your favourite podcast platform - search for The Vinyl Guide, and Guy's interview is episode 237.
