When Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett painted the floorboards of his London flat blue and orange in 1969, he could never have imagined that over fifty years later, they would be the subject of an intense auction bidding war, end up on display in a venue renowned for its programme of fiercely independent music and be at the heart of an 8-day festival celebrating all things psychedelic.

The painted floorboards graced the cover of Sydโ€™s debut 1970 album, The Madcap Laughs, in what is now an iconic image of the era. Rather than being whisked overseas or hidden in a private collection, the colourful planks are set to be unveiled then displayed at The Piper, a south coast grass roots music venue in St Leonards, near Hastings, named after the 1967 debut album by Pink Floyd, โ€˜The Piper at the Gates of Dawnโ€™.

The party to celebrate the unveiling of the boards runs from 4th-11th July, the 20th anniversary of Barrettโ€™s death.

๐Ÿ‚ Since fronting Manchester indie-folk favourites THE TRAVELLING BAND, Jo Dudderidge has built a reputation as a producer, songwriter and session musician, working with an impressive roster of artists including Victoria Canal, Chloe Foy, Rose Gray, Stephen Fretwell, Human Interest, Joyeria, Bette Smith, and longtime collaborator Lissie.

๐Ÿ Debut album Living History is a bold statement with a distinctive character, sonically centred on Dudderidge's signature Wurlitzer electric piano and unmistakable voice, blending raw, heart-on-sleeve lyricism with a fresh, idiosyncratic style veering from krautrock to alt-country.
