Fingal's Cave - A Podcast for all dedicated Pink Floyd Fans

Ep.27 - Set the Controls: Lee Harris and the Early Days of Pink Floyd


Listen Later

Lee Harris, the founder and guitarist of the successful band ‘Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret’ was our first interview guest almost two years ago. We had an exciting conversation back then and we knew we wanted to invite him back to our podcast.

Now, 25 episodes later, the time has finally come, Lee Harris is back!

Together with Phil Salathé, in this episode we talk about Lee's youth, his own career as co-manager and guitarist of the band ‘Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ and the musical development of Pink Floyd between the years 1967 and 1972, an era they cover with the 'Saucers'.

Lee also gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the band, describing the conditions under which the songs were chosen and why Echoes came so late in the setlist.

Look forward to a lively conversation between two full-blooded musicians and some great and nerdy insights...

(On a personal note, to our knowledge Pink Floyd performed 'The Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' four times during the UK leg of their British Winter Tour in 1970.)
