  • Ep.29 - 40 Years of Flying Solo, Celebrating David Gilmour Live 1984-2024 (with Special Guest: Bjorn Riis)
    Jul 22 2025
    In this episode of the Fingal's Cave Podcast, host Nils Zehnpfennig and guests Mike McCartney, Joe Krist and special guest Bjorn Riis from Gilmourish.com celebrate 40 years of David Gilmour's live performances.

    We begin by exploring Bjorn's musical background and the influence of Gilmour, Pink Floyd, and other bands on his sound. We then trace the evolution of Gilmour’s tone, gear and style throughout his solo career and his time with Pink Floyd from 1968 to 1994.

    We start the discussion with Gilmour’s 1978 debut and his decision not to tour. We then take an in-depth look at the About Face tour in 1984 and reflect on the chaotic Ecomundo show in Colombia in 1992.

    We also revisit the acclaimed On an Island tour of 2006, discussing the stellar band, the wonderful set list, and the unforgettable performance of 'Echoes'.

    A decade later, Gilmour returned with Rattle That Lock. We explore the differences between that tour and the one in 2006, including the surprise mid-tour line-up changes, and we discuss the somewhat underwhelming Pompeii shows in 2016.

    Finally, we talk about his latest album, Luck and Strange, and the short tour that followed. We also reflect on his four decades of live music and celebrate a legendary career that continues to inspire many of us.

  • Ep.28 - Frying Eggs and Breaking Milk Bottles: The Masked Marauder’s Pink Floyd Story
    Jun 17 2025
    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.

  • Ep.27 - Set the Controls: Lee Harris and the Early Days of Pink Floyd
    May 13 2025
    Lee Harris, the founder and guitarist of the successful band ‘Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secret’ was our first interview guest almost two years ago. We had an exciting conversation back then and we knew we wanted to invite him back to our podcast.

    Now, 25 episodes later, the time has finally come, Lee Harris is back!

    Together with Phil Salathé, in this episode we talk about Lee's youth, his own career as co-manager and guitarist of the band ‘Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ and the musical development of Pink Floyd between the years 1967 and 1972, an era they cover with the 'Saucers'.

    Lee also gives us a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the band, describing the conditions under which the songs were chosen and why Echoes came so late in the setlist.

    Look forward to a lively conversation between two full-blooded musicians and some great and nerdy insights...

    On a personal note, to our knowledge Pink Floyd performed 'The Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast' four times during the UK leg of their British Winter Tour in 1970.
