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
  • Kevin Ayers
  • Bridget St John
  • The Action (until they became Mighty Baby in January 1969 and parted company with Blackhill Enterprises).[2]
