Nick Mason weighs in on his new band, gong-banging and early Pink Floyd: 'We weren't very good!'

Pink Floyd fans were more than a little surprised when the long-defunct band's drummer, Nick Mason, began performing four years ago in Saucerful of Secrets, a group devoted to showcasing the music Pink Floyd made between 1967 and 1972. But not nearly as surprised as Mason, whose debut gig with Saucerful was in London in May 2018.

"For 15 years before that it had never occurred to me, because I was not in a place where I wanted to put a band together," said the affable drummer, currently on tour with Saucerful.

Pink Floyd's final tour concluded in 1994, two years before the enormously influential English band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
