One of the most dominate and celebrated rock bands of all time, the origins of Pink Floyd developed at Cambridge High School.
Roger Keith 'Syd' Barrett (guitar/vocals), Roger Waters (bass/vocals) and David Gilmour (guitar/vocals)
were pupils and friends there. Waters formed an R&B-based group, Sigma 6, with fellow students Nick Mason (drums) and Rick Wright (keyboards).
With Waters now on bass, the group took a variety of names,
including the T-Set and the (Screaming) Abdabs. The Abdabs fell apart at the end of 1965. Almost immediately Barrett, Waters, Mason and Wright reconvened
as the Pink Floyd Sound, a name Barrett had suggested, inspired by an album by Georgia blues' musicians Pinkney 'Pink' Anderson and Floyd Council.
