Nicholas
Berkeley Mason was born on
27th January, 1944, in Downshire Hill, Birmingham. He
attended the Frensham Heights, and later on the Regent
Street Polytechnic, where he met Roger Waters and Rick
Wright. Percussionist, like Roger Waters, Nick started
playing in the group "The Abdabs" (1965).
He is the only member of the original and to still be
playing in it.
After Roger Waters left the group,
Nick said (in autumn of 1985), that he would like to
tour again as Pink Floyd, stating that he and David
Gilmour were interested in "revitalizing Pink Floyd...
We definitely haven't agreed it's all over".
One of Nick's hobbies is cars. According
to Autoweek, some of the cars that he owns (and races)
are: Ferrari 250 GTO, F40 and 246 GTS Dino, Bugatti
35B, Alfa 2300 and Maserati 250F. He is married for
the second time and lives in London. He played and produced
several albums for several artists, including Gong,
Michael Mantler, Gary Windo, Robert Wyatt, The Damned,
Steve Hillage and Principal Edward's Magic Theatre.
