Fingal's Cave Podcast

In this latest edition of the podcast, Mick The Hat continues recounting his remarkable journey with Pink Floyd, continuing from where he left off with the final Wall show on June 17th, 1981 at Earl’s Court. 

Beginning in 1984 with The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking tour, Mick’s recollections as a Pink Floyd enthusiast and concert taper cover the early solo careers of Roger Waters and David Gilmour, continuing into Pink Floyd’s final tour in 1994. 

Mick talks about how the desire for more Pink Floyd related records was at a peak in the mid 1980’s, when many outside artists collaborated with members of the band before the “Dry Floyd” formed. Most notable is how a tape of David Gilmour playing Cliff Richard almost made it onto a bootleg vinyl, and currently has yet to be released.

From accidentally flushing his contacts in a hotel room outside of Sweden, to running a Taxi Driver’s toll fare up in New Jersey, finding himself in the sea of empty faces in Berlin, and witnessing after-gig road crew jams in Paris, Mick’s stored and well-travelled recollections of this period is a story not to be missed.
