Summary
It’s a special Rockonteurs on the Road this week. Joining Guy and Gary backstage as the Saucerful of Secrets tour continues around the UK is the boss, Nick Mason.
This is a must listen for any fan of Pink Floyd as we deep dive into the stories around those ground breaking tours, the recording and playing of Echoes and how the new record ‘Hey, Hey Rise Up’ was recorded and released in a very short window.
Rockonteurs is produced by Ben Jones for Gimme Sugar Productions.
