Richard Houghton – Pink Floyd : I Was There

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 25th June 2017 by Liam C25th June 2017

Music writer Richard Houghton has sent us an email in and has asked for fans of Pink Floyd to get in touch to help him write a people’s history of the group.  Richard – who has already compiled similar books about The Beatles, The Who and the Rolling Stones – is trying to tell the story of Pink Floyd in the words of fans who were there.  He is looking to hear from fans of the band from any era, but is particularly keen to hear from anyone who saw them in the Sixties or Seventies.

Richard said:  ‘I’m hoping to tell the band’s story in a slightly different way, to create an oral history of Pink Floyd.  I’ve collected over a hundred stories so far, including some great Syd era memories, but I’d like to hear from anyone who’s seen the band.  I’m interested in what people remember of the first show they saw but also how they became a Floyd fan and what their favourite album or track is.’

Richard’s book, entitled Pink Floyd – I Was There, is scheduled for publication by Red Planet Books in Spring 2018.

Syd Barret : Honoured At Anglia Ruskin’s Cambridge School of Art

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 25th June 2017 by Liam C25th June 2017

A blue plaque to commemorate former student Syd Barrett, one of the founder members of Pink Floyd, has been unveiled outside the Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University’s campus on East Road.

The plaque was unveiled on BBC Music Day on Thursday, 15 June by members of Syd’s family, including his sister Rosemary. The unveiling was broadcast live by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire on Jeremy Sallis’s Lunchtime Live show.

Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett, was born in 1946 and died in 2006. It is thought he picked up the nickname Syd as a 12 year old. He met fellow Pink Floyd members Roger Waters at primary school in Cambridge and David Gilmour, also a former Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology student, as a teenager.

By the time Syd attended the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, which is now part of the Cambridge School of Art and Anglia Ruskin University, he was already known on the local music scene.

David Harvey, editor of BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, said:

“Syd Barrett is one of the UK’s most iconic musicians of our time. It’s a real privilege to be honouring a true music legend and we’re going to do it in style, with a live broadcast from Anglia Ruskin University.”

The plaque was one of a number unveiled across the country to mark BBC Music Day. The final list, covering a wide range of musical genres from pop, to rock, folk and classical, was whittled down from BBC Local Radio listeners’ suggestions made up of music industry experts and BBC representatives.

David Gilmour & Polly Samson : Sara Gilmour’s Wedding

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 12th June 2017 by Liam C14th June 2017

An impressive wedding took place last week in Lindos. 36-year-old Sara Gillmour, daughter of David, a famous English guitarist and singer of Pink Floyd, married 37-year-old Gus Robertson.

The  marriage was presided over by the president of the municipal community, Lindos Giorgos Eleftherios (who was one of the few locals who were present at the ceremony), in an old captain’s house in Lindos.

Naturally present at the wedding was Father David Gilmour along with his wife Polly Samson, as well as the writer Ginger Gillmour mother of the bride.

After the ceremony, the honeymoon couple and all the guests were entertained at the seaside tavern of Palaestra and the feast continued on the other day at the beach of Agios Pavlos.

David Gillmour stayed on a boat despite having a privately owned home in Lindos and now visiting Rhodes after 17 years!

All these days the famous musician and his company did not fail to dine in the famous tavern of “Mauritius” as they maintain friendly relations with the brothers Dimitris and Michalis Mavrikos. (Article Translated)
