Programme overview

Description

A Technicolor Dream is the story of the underground movement during the Sixties leading up to its culmination at The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream, a 'musical happening' at Alexandra Palace on April 29th, 1967. The story takes in CND marches in the early Sixties, the foundation of the London Free School and the Notting Hill Carnival.

There are brand new interviews with Roger Waters and Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, John 'Hoppy' Hopkins, Joe Boyd, Kevin Ayers, Barry Miles, Phil May from The Pretty Things and many more. This fascinating programme is set in a musical context with the music of Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd and The Pretty Things.
