Pink Floyd

uncredited writer, Beat Instrumental, January 1970

THE PINK FLOYD have been playing together for five years. During all this time there has been but one personnel change, when Syd Barrett was replaced on guitar and vocals by Dave Gilmour, and the group have continually experimented, entertained and pushed their theories into practice. Roger Waters, bass; Nick Mason, drums; Dave Gilmour, guitar; and Rick Wright, piano and organ; have achieved a lot. I recently went to Wright's Bayswater flat where for a couple of hours we talked about the Pink Floyd, Rick Wright, the weather (it was a cold day) and what the group hope to be doing in the future.
