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]
