Ep.28 - Frying Eggs and Breaking Milk Bottles: The Masked Marauder’s Pink Floyd Story

In this fascinating episode of Fingal’s Cave, host Ian Priston sits down with a legendary figure from Pink Floyd's early days - an underground taper known as The Masked Marauder. One of just a few people who recorded the band live in the 1960s, he shares candid memories of the counterculture, classic gigs at UFO and Middle Earth, and capturing historic BBC radio sessions from his living room. Hear personal reflections on: • Syd Barrett and David Gilmour-era Pink Floyd shows • Legendary venues like the Roundhouse and Eel Pie Island • Taping the The Man and The Journey premiere and other bands such as Soft Machine • His bohemian lifestyle, radical activism, and outsider spirit. Now 82 and sharp as ever, the Masked Marauder brings the psychedelic era to life with wit, warmth, and authenticity. A must-listen for Pink Floyd fans, music historians, and anyone interested in the London 1960s underground scene. Recorded at his home on a busy London street, the conversation is rich with atmosphere, quiet pauses, and thoughtful insights. As always, Fingal’s Cave favours authentic conversations over formal interviews.
