Blackhill Enterprises was a rock music management company, founded as a partnership by the four original members of Pink Floyd (Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters and Richard Wright), with Peter Jenner and Andrew King.[1]
Blackhill were the organisers of the first Hyde Park free concerts.
After Syd Barrett left Pink Floyd, the partnership was dissolved, and Jenner and King continued Blackhill to manage Barrett.[1] Following Blackhill's eventual dissolution, both Jenner and King continued to work in music management.[1]
They also managed:
- Marc Bolan (who met his wife, June Child, while she was working as Blackhill's secretary)[1]
- Edgar Broughton Band
- The Clash[1]
- Ian Dury
- Roy Harper[1]
- Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias
