Nick Mason receives honorary degree
Posted November 27, 2012 by Floydian Slip
Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from London’s University of Westminster for his contributions to the music industry over the last 50 years.
Westminster was known as Regent Street Polytechnic when Mason enrolled as an architecture student in the 1960s. He met Roger Waters and Rick Wright at the school, and eventually dropped out as the band’s star continued to rise.
“Three of Pink Floyd met there so in essence we were formed under the roof of the Polytechnic; we rehearsed in the common room in the basement and made some of our first performances there.

Featuring a rotating cast of celebrities reading accounts by former death row inmates, the show focuses on the true stories of six people sentenced to death and later freed after being proven innocent.
Waters will share the stage with Kathleen Chalfant, William Marshall and Chris Sarandon.
