It was great to interview Nick Mason, the legendary Pink Floyd drummer, today with my We Did It Medway co-host Philip Dodd. Even managed to get my 1967 Hendrix/Floyd tour programme signed. Also great to see Nick's amazing office complete with Ferrari F1 car! Keep your ears peeled for our Hendrix in Chatham podcast special.
