At the start of 2022, As part of the master plan to redevelop certain areas of the core site, we took the ultimate decision in late 2021 to close our highly visited Orphans section and replace it with a portal designed to showcase the various items and collections that some of the “super-fans” have curated over the years.
Designed in collaboration with the Pink Floyd Collectors social media group, A Fleeting Glimpse had joined forces to create the ‘Collectors Hub‘
A collaboration to showcase a glimpse of the various ticket stubs, posters, adverts, promotional displays, t-shirts, and other memorabilia that have been accumulated by fans since the band’s inception in 1964.
With extensive galleries covering almost 60 years, we have very painstakingly organized every piece of material into the relevant categories to make it accessible for you, the visitors, to navigate through.
We are very happy to announce that we have added many various contributions to the various sub categories in what is the first installment of our continuing efforts to showcase a glimpse of all the material that is available among collectors all across the globe.

Tonight is the first night of Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets 2022 Tour, taking place on April 13th at the Convention Centre Dublin, Ireland.
Our good friends and collaborators at Pink Floyd Collectors were on hand to a little glimpse into the brand new show, and subsequently what is the first live outing for the band since July 2019.
Please be aware that there will be a few spoilers ahead.
The first thing to talk about is the recent post on the official Saucerful of Secrets social media, which features Nick Mason’s DW drum kit having a little bit of a makeover.
As a nod back to Nick’s now iconic 1973 Ludwig Waves Kit, brand new artwork was applied to Nick’s bassdrums, For die-hard fans, you will notice this sets the scene for material from the Pre Dark Side Of The Moon era. You can find more information on this iconic artwork in our 1973 Ludwig Waves Kit /Katsushika Hokusa 36 Views of Mount Fuji Exhibit.
With the new artwork in place on Nicks’ drumsetup, this is a theme that also occurs within the merchandise desk of the show. Subsequently, the same artwork was used on T-Shirts during the 1977 In The Flesh Tour, a nice ode to past history by bringing them back.
Our good friends at Pink Floyd Collectors have uploaded a video to their ever growing Youtube Channel showing all the various merchandise that is available in the foyer of the shows. We must add that the new litho flyers look fantastic.
The show features a brand new lighting design which from comments we have heard described as “Fantastic” it seems that the band have really stepped it up a gear for this tour.

Face 2 Face show is a podcast run by Gabriella Callender a member of the Pressenza-International Press Agency. The podcast is mainly connected to first world problems and features many doctors and professors talking in depth and expressing there personal views and opinions.
However, this month’s new episode falls away from those topics and features a personal conversation with Durga McBroom, singer, songwriter, and actress who has performed backing vocals for Pink Floyd and is a member of the house music band Blue Pearl, best known for their hit single “Naked in the Rain.“
A Fleeting Glimpse is proud to announce the Iggy the Eskimo exhibit.
In collaboration with The Holly Church of Iggy The Inuit social media page, we have set up a brand new exhibit highlighting the cult status of Iggy the Eskimo.
Iggy was one of Syd Barrett‘s girlfriends in 1969. Whom is most famous for being the model for the Syd Barrett album “The Madcap Laughs‘. It was rumored that Iggy the Eskimo, was part Inuit. With that statement in mind, and the fact that she used to be a (former) girlfriend of movie maker Anthony Stern, that was about all that was publicly known.
In the early 1970s, she simply disappeared from Syd’s life and the public eye without a trace, only to later reappear in the public eye after 40 years out of the limelight.
Having taken to social media again and interacting with fans all over the world, she firmly reacquainted herself with her cult status and continued to engage with her following until her saddened death in 2017.
In this brand new exhibit, you can read the back story of who actually took the photographs used for Syd’s Madcap Laughs album, discover more about her relationship with Eric Clapton, and hear the story of when she thought Syd Barrett was cheating on her, which subsequently turned out to be him visiting David Gilmour.
