The Pink Fairies were a British rock music group.

They were one of two Peoples’ Bands, along with Hawkwind, who flew the flag for free music and Anarchy in the early 1970s underground scene in the UK. They often performed impromptu gigs in Ladbroke Grove as well as benefit performances. Based around the blues guitar of Paul Rudolph and the double drumming of Twink, and Russ Hunter, they were sometimes termed a 'musical terrorist organisation', turning up, often unwanted, to play for free. They were, in short, the ultimate ongoing rock 'n roll agitprop stunt.
