The Pink Fairies were a British heavy/progressive/alternative rock group active in the London (Ladbroke Grove) underground and psychedelic scene of the early 1970s . They promoted free music, drug taking and anarchy and often performed impromptu gigs and other agitprop stunts, such as free outside the gates at the Isle of Wight pop festival, the Windsor Free Festivals as well as appearing at the first Glastonbury outing.
The group were formed when the three musicians from The Deviants (Paul Rudolph – guitar and vocals; Duncan Sanderson – bass; Russell Hunter – drums), having sacked their singer and leader Mick Farren, returned from a disastrous tour of the West Coast of North America and hooked up with former The Pretty Things drummer Twink.
