The Vinyl Sessions - Pink Floyd: Piper At The Gates of Dawn + Q&A WITH 'TWINK'


The definitive (arguably only) album by Pink Floyd v1, this is the musical monument which casts a long Syd-shaped shadow over the Floyd's career.

As immediate now as on it's release 50(!) years ago, Piper still sounds utterly unique, a skewed encapsulation of the 60s psychedelic scene, and a strong counterpoint to the highly polished album being recorded at Abbey Road at the same time – Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Appropriately liquid lighting befitting the album will play in the background, and we’re very pleased to confirm the appearance of John “Twink” Alder, ex-drummer for Tomorrow, The Pink Fairies and collaborator with Syd Barrett in his last band Stars, who’ll being doing a brief Q & A session after the album.

As usual we'll follow the album with our usual 7" session. Bring along a single of your choice to spin after the main session. This can be anything you like, for any reason – the more out there the better.

It's about meeting fellow music lovers, talking about the great records of the past and predicting upcoming future classics.

The bar's open throughout and we're selling Veggie Chilli for just £3 a bowl.
