Pink Floyd – I Was There – New Book Release By Richard Houghton

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

A book containing over 350 fan memories of seeing Pink Floyd live has been published.

Collated and edited by music writer Richard Houghton, ‘Pink Floyd – I Was There’ comprises memories of the band in action going back to their earliest days in the Swinging Sixties.

Richard, who has compiled similar anthologies on The Who and the Rolling Stones, said: ‘The book is a slightly different take on the history of Pink Floyd, as it’s trying to tell their story as a live act in the words of people who witnessed them in performance. It includes gig memories from the UFO Club and before, and is bang up to date with memories of Roger’s Us+Them tour. Hopefully it captures people’s memories faithfully and will give those who were there fond memories and those who weren’t a sense of what it was like.’

Richard is now working on a similar book about Jimi Hendrix but is still keen to hear people’s Pink Floyd memories. He said: ‘I’ve had several people share Floyd stories with me since the book went to print and so I’m collecting material for a possible volume two.’

Pink Floyd – I Was There is available to buy online direct from Red Planet Zone by clicking here.

Gerald Scarfe : Stage & Screen Exhibition At London’s House Of Illustration

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on by

You’re likely to recognise the satirical cartoons of Gerald Scarfe from his work with Pink Floyd, but you might be surprised to discover his lesser-known production designs for the stage and screen.

Having enjoyed a long career as a political cartoonist, starting out in the pages of Punch and Private Eye and then embarking on a 40-year relationship with the Sunday Times, Scarfe has also devised sets, concepts and characters across film, opera, ballet and theatre.

London’s House of Illustration offers a rare opportunity to explore Scarfe’s extensive work in these areas, presenting storyboards, costumes and props from a range of projects including Disney’s Hercules and Pink Floyd’s The Wall (for which Scarfe designed the animation sequences).

The artist’s typically acerbic imagination and vibrant style are evident throughout, as well as his desire to ‘bring my creations to life – to bring them off the page and give them flesh and blood, movement and drama.’

The Exhibition is currently running until the 21st January 2018 at London’s House of Illustration, 2 Granary Square, King’s Cross London N1C 4BH,

Tickets are very reasonably priced ranging from £5 – £8.25 and are available to buy online direct by clicking here
