Pink Floyd members Roger Waters and Nick Mason reunited yesterday - on the 50th anniversary of the band, to open a commemorative plaque marking they place where they first met.
Waters, Mason and Richard Wright met while they were students at London’s Regent Street Polytechnic, which eventually led to birth of Pink Floyd. Yesterday Mason and Waters travelled back to Regent's Street where they over-saw the opening of a plaque celebrating the band's 50th year, installed onto the front of their old school, now part of the University of Westminster.
They also took the opportinuty to walk back down memory lane, talking about the early years before David Gilmour joined in 1967.
“Put it like this: if we’d gone up for Britain’s Got Talent, I don’t think we would have made it past the audition stage. We weren’t terribly good.” Mason said, with Waters adding “We were effing awful.”
This makes Pink Floyd the second star act to recieve the Regent Street Heritage plaque, after one was placed on Heddon Road, the famous location for the album cover of David Bowie's 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars'.
