Pink Floyd - A Brief History

Sid Jenner and Andrew King found the Pink Floyd sound playing at an event. The group agreed to make records with them after their summer holidays. They were all still students, and so they dispersed during the summer. Waters and Wright went on holiday to Greece while Mason went on a trip round America by Greyhound Bus. Barrett stayed behind and started writing more songs,. encouraged by Jenner who insisted that the band needed to stop relying on blues covers and come up with their own material. Set the controls for the heart of the sun was the first song Roger ever wrote because Sid encouraged everyone to write.
