Special event to remember Pink Floyd legend who played his last gig in Hastings
The Piper bar in Norman Road, St Leonards is holding a special event celebrating 58 years since Pink Floyd singer and guitarist Syd Barrett played his last performance with the band on Hastings Pier.
The event, which takes place on Saturday January 17, promises DJ’s projections and cosmic sounds as well as a Q&A with Syd biographer Rob Chapman.
Back in 2024, The Piper had a display of the original blue and orange stripped floorboards from Syd Barrett’s London flat, that featured on the cover of his solo album The Madcap Laughs.
The bar itself, formerly The Norman Arms, is named after the 1967 debut album by Pink Floyd, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
The Pink Floyd gig on Hastings Pier took place on January 20 1968 and tickets sold for 15 shillings on the door.
Tickets for the event at the Piper are £5.
