COMMENTS
Due to the critical success of the four initial shows in May 2018, held in tiny venues in London's Camden and Putney, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets announced a full European tour for September that year. The expanded shows for the full tour were even more highly acclaimed, and it came as no surprise when further dates for 2019 were announced. The insatiable demand for more dates, in more locations, has resulted in the band carrying on from where they left off, with shows for 2022 taking the music to new fans, as well as those who have already experienced the show, eager for more - particularly with the halt to concerts due to the Coronavirus pandemic!
Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets brings together some familiar names, all great musicians: joining Nick are Gary Kemp and Lee Harris on guitars, Guy Pratt on bass, and Dom Beken on keyboards. Kemp is best known for his work with Spandau Ballet, Harris as having played guitar with The Blockheads (Ian Dury's band), Pratt needs no introduction, and Beken is principally known for his work with The Orb, and Transit Kings (with Pratt). The band will be playing early Pink Floyd songs.
This is a unique opportunity to experience Pink Floyd's celebrated and significant early body of work played live including songs from albums 'The Piper At The Gates of Dawn' and 'A Saucerful Of Secrets'.
The regular sale of tickets started on THURSDAY, February 17th 2022 at 13:00 EET (local time) / 11:00am UK time, via Ticketmaster.
UPDATE, April 29th 2022: The venue for this show has changed from the Dassous Theatre, to the Moni Lazariston - a cultural centre and art museum in a former monastery, with an auditorium for concerts and plays. It is reputedly a great place for a concert! Existing ticket holders will be contacted, and tickets for this new venue are available from Ticketmaster.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD!
Do not read on if you don't want surprises to be spoilt, regarding what the band played!
And so to the first of two shows in Greece for the Saucers - a changed venue for this show, in Thessaloniki, to the nice surroundings of Moon Lazariston, a former monastery. The band were a little beset by mosquitoes during the show, but they managed to ignore them and power through, with Echoes apparently being particularly good. Did you go to this show? Let us know!
Tomorrow, they play in the Greek capital, Athens...
