PINK FLOYD STICKSMITH BRINGS SECRETS TO STOWMARKET
On Thursday 11th January, Pink Floyd’s redoubtable drummer and fast car enthusiast Nick Mason will be visiting the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket to discuss his former band’s 1968 album, ‘A Saucerful Of Secrets’, as part of their Classic Album series.
A modest hit in the UK on its release, 'Saucerful…’ is unique among Pink Floyd’s releases in that it was recorded during a transitional period - with the slow departure of original singer/guitarist Syd Barrett due to addiction and mental health issues, and his gradual replacement by David Gilmour - and is therefore the only album they made as (effectively) a five-piece.
In keeping with previous Classic Album events, which have featured such influential luminaries as Julian Cope and Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, the evening will include a full playback of John Peel’s personal copy of the album through the venue’s rather tasty sound system.
