Don’t miss Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets tour, the supergroup formed by the Pink Floyd drummer to play the band’s early songs, including tracks penned by Syd. With Nick Mason on drums, the line-up includes Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp, Lee Harris of the Blockheads, Guy Pratt and Dom Beken. Click here for more details.

The Pink Floyd Exhibition moves onto it’s next stop at Dortmunder U in Germany.  The exhibition will be opened on the 15th September 2018 and stay there until February 2019.  For further information on the exhibition, please visit the museum’s website

Addenbrookes Hospital is going to provide the site for a garden in honour of Syd Barrett. The centre piece of the garden will include a sculpture of Syd free wheeling on his bike. The site is perfect as it will offer an outdoor place for visitors to the hospital who might need a peaceful space in which to walk or sit. The hospital holds significance as it is where Syd was treated towards the end of his life and it is also the place of the Barrett Room which is named in honour of Syd’s father, the pathologist Dr Arthur Max Barrett.

UPDATE JULY 2018: this project is currently on hold.

The Pink Floyd exhibition which ran at the V&A last year opens in Rome on 18th January 2018.  This exhibition takes the visitor on a tour of Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett.  Tickets are available from the main exhibition site.

 

(c) Jonathan Watts /Fred’s House receive Syd Barrett Pride of Cambridge Award

We are delighted to announce that 2017 winner of the Syd Barrett Pride of Cambridge Award is the indie folk rock band Fred’s House.  The award was presented by Syd’s sister, Rosemary Breen, at the annual NMG Awards event, which took place in Cambridge in August 2017. 

Fred’s House’s “were over the moon to win such a prestigious award and be presented it by Syd’s sister.”  They went onto say that “It’s so wonderful that Syd’s family are still very much part of the music scene in Cambridge that was responsible for producing one of the greatest bands ever. We have been working hard on Fred’s House for 7 years now and this award was a lovely recognition of our hard work and everything we’ve created as a band. We are very proud indeed.”

Congratulations, Fred’s House!

 

As part of the BBC’s Music Day which took place on the 15 June 2017, a Blue Plaque for Syd was unveiled at Anglia Ruskin University.  In Syd’s day the University was called the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology and here is where Syd studied art.  The Blue Plaque appears on the original arts building.  The plaque was unveiled by his sister, Rosemary Breen, who said that Syd would “have loved it.” 

By the time Syd was studying at the College he was already making the first steps in his career as a musician and was performing locally.

 

Syd played his last ever concert in 1972 in the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, Syd’s hometown.  Forty-four years later, fans, friends and family of Syd joined together to celebrate his extraordinary life. The video here encapsulates this special evening.

The event included the unveiling of a memorial to Syd; providing a psychedelic image of Syd within its hypnotic wheel.  A celebratory concert followed this with memories and music as Men on the Border together with the Sandviken Symphony Orchestra and lights by Peter Wynne-Willson, interpreted the music of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd.

The concert featured symphonic interpretations of Barrett classics from his solo albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett including the likes of Octopus and Terrapin with the repertoire flanked by an interpretation of Floyd’s High Hopes. The concert included lighting from Peter Wynne Willson who worked with Pink Floyd between 1966 and 1968 when he created light shows for their performances at UFO and the Roundhouse and went on to design the lighting for the band’s UK, European and American gigs and tours as well as having worked with Roger Waters, Radiohead and U2. Narration for the concert was performed by playwright, writer and former friend of Syd, David Gale.

Comments:

Here are comments from some of those who worked together to make this evening possible:

It was an absolute honour to work with the Barrett family on providing a lasting memorial to the life and legacy of Cambridge’s most famous musical son…
Neil Jones
Operations Director, Cambridge Live and organiser of ‘Syd Barrett – A Celebration’.

This concert was a joyful gathering of many who knew and loved Syd.
Syd brightens the globe again!
Kathleen Harty

This was not just for those who loved Syd … but also for those Syd loved …. and the buzz of loved ones was apparent.
What an honour all round.
Libby Gausden Chisman – Girlfriend of Syd.

(c) Jo Randall

Syd’s early and late songs, separated by a blast of fame that elated him then laid him low, are more numerous than many people imagine. In the hands and guitars of Men on the Border and the fifty-five members of the Sandviken Symphony Orchestra, Syd’s songs aren’t just reproduced as respectful covers, they are rearranged and reinterpreted to considerable effect.
David Gale – Schoolfriend of Syd and also show narrator

The depth of sound this brought to the cavernous space that is The Corn Exchange was astonishing and made for a moving interpretation of Syd’s music. Pete Wynne Willson’s analogue slide show brought the whole building into relief with a mass of swirling colour, as images of Syd were projected onto the backdrop of the stage.
Jenny Spires – Girlfriend of Syd

(c) Jo Randall

Solo En Las Nubas, Spain

“The concert was outstanding. Men on the Border were great, and arrangements of Sandviken Symphony Orchestra were colossal. “Astronomy Domine” left more than one without speaking, and the same can be said of “High Hopes” and a big surprise, “Milky Way”, which although not very faithful to the original (which is actually a demo) it was an attractive piece pop, especially with the star constellations adorning the Corn Exchange.”

There Goes The Fear, USA

“All of the performances were perfect renditions of Barrett’s back catalogue, cleverly constructed around the theme of seasons, starting in autumn and culminating in summer. Narrated by Barrett’s old classmate and playwright David Gale, it perfectly captured Barrett’s life. The personal touch of Gale’s storytelling allowed complete immersion into his life, aided by the ever-present lighting of Pink Floyd’s former lighting man Peter Wynne-Wilson, it was impossible to break free from those biographical moments. Taking us through the entire of Barrett’s life, including the separation from Pink Floyd and his more questionable moments, every part was produced to be true to his memory without painting a false picture.”

Sabotage Times, UK

“In the auditorium, the fifty-piece Sandviken Symphony Orchestra, flown in from Sweden, is waiting quietly, all tuned up already with Nordic efficiency, and Peter Wynne-Willson’s museum-piece lights kept from the very early Pink Floyd shows are painting the walls in shifting psychedelic pools and bubbles of brightly coloured oil. What we’re about to see is a performance of some of Syd’s works woven into a narrative of his life. The electric band fronting the show are Men on the Border, also Swedish, five guys even older than me. Evidently, the crazy Swedes are crazy for Syd. The songs are well picked from Syd’s oeuvre, pinpointing the biographical, but the orchestral arrangements, wonderful as they are, impose a uniformity on songs that stood sparsely apart from one another in their original forms.”

Cambridge Independent, UK

“The gig, which lasted over two hours, featured symphonic interpretations of songs from Barrett’s two solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, including songs such as Octopus and Terrapin, as well as a version of Floyd’s High Hopes off 1994’s The Division Bell. Narration was provided by playwright, writer and friend of Syd’s, David Gale. At the end of the concert, an image of a still-life painting of pink and red flowers, the colours of love and friendship, was shown on the screen behind. It was revealed that this was the last thing Syd Barrett ever painted and was a gift to his sister, Rosemary. Rosemary was then presented with a bunch of flowers the same as those in the painting. An emotional end to an emotional tribute to a much-loved Cambridge icon.”

Brain Damage, UK

“Following the artwork unveiling, the main event was the very enjoyable – and for some, quite emotional – concert featuring Swedish band Men on the Border backed by the 50-piece Sandviken Symphony Orchestra who hail from the same town in Sweden as the band. MotB covered a wide range of Barrett songs, with some dramatic and unexpected symphonic interpretations on offer. The concert also featured narration from acclaimed playwright, and former school friend of Syd, David Gale, and suitably psychedelic lighting – not just on the stage, but covering the walls, ceilings and even some of us in the audience of the Corn Exchange – by Peter Wynne-Willson, who was responsible for the Floyd’s early light shows between 1966-68.”

Pink Floyd Facebook page

“Last night, the Cambridge Corn Exchange saw Syd Barrett’s family, friends, and fans all come together for a celebration of the man and his music. The concert featured Swedish band Men on the Border performing Syd’s songs, as well as a few of their own, backed by the 50-piece Sandviken Symphony Orchestra. Lighting was provided by Peter Wynne-Willson who worked with Pink Floyd between 1966-1968. A permanently sited artwork, a memorial to Syd, was also unveiled in the foyer of the Corn Exchange.”

We Are Cult

“Following the artwork unveiling, there was a live public concert featuring Swedish band Men on the Border, the only band in the world who play the solo music of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, backed by the 50-piece Sandviken Symphony Orchestra who hail from the same town in Sweden as the band. The concert also featured narration from acclaimed playwright, and former school friend of Syd, David Gale, lighting by Peter Wynne Wilson who worked with Pink Floyd between 1966 and 1968 plus two members of P-Floyd, one of the foremost Pink Floyd concept bands in the world.”

Cambridge News, UK

Peter Wynne Willson, an internationally-renowned lighting designer (and inventor), who worked with Pink Floyd at their 60s psychedelic peak (between 66 and 68) put on a light show that was out of this world: sometimes literally, as the backdrop was illuminated with constellations, multi-coloured swirls, pictures of Syd and the musician’s own artwork, and various points in the evening. Not only the main tribute band of the evening –Men on the Border –but also the impressive Sandviken Symphony Orchestra, Pünk Floyd who entertained crowds in the foyer before the concert and during the interval AND guest musicians Jan Stumsner and Peter Holmstedt from P-Floyd are all Swedes. We always knew our Nordic neighbours were the best! At the end of the day, despite the upheavals and tumult in his life, it was all about Syd’s music. And what better proof of how well the music has stood the test of time than this one-off, inspiring and uplifting celebration. Syd: Cambridge did you proud.”

The box set contains TV recordings, BBC Sessions, unreleased tracks, outtakes and demos over an incredible 12 hours, 33 mins of audio (made up of 130 tracks) and over 15 hours of video.

In addition to the deluxe set, a 2-CD highlights album ‘The Early Years – CRE/ATION’ is also available through Pink Floyd Records.

Each individual book-style package will be released separately early in 2017, except ‘BONUS CONTINU/ATION’ which is exclusive to this box set.

—————————————————————–

Product overview:

 1965-1967  CAMBRIDGE ST/ATION

Covering Syd Barrett’s time with the band, from the pre-EMI demos, through the non-album hit singles and related tracks, the first volume also features previously unreleased tracks like Vegetable Man and In The Beechwoods (newly mixed), plus BBC session recordings. Pink Floyd have also acquired the tapes of an unreleased 1967 concert in Stockholm.

The DVD/Blu-ray includes historic TV performances plus some of Pink Floyd’s own film material.

1968             GERMIN/ATION              

This volume explores the time immediately after Syd Barrett’s departure, when Pink Floyd were still writing singles and at the same time developing their own unique, more instrumentally-based style. There are non-album single releases, plus a recently discovered session at Capitol Records studios in Los Angeles, BBC sessions and other tracks.

DVD/Blu-ray includes the recently restored promo clip of Point Me At The Sky, some international TV performances and a selection of song material from other television shows.

1969             DRAMATIS/ATION

In 1969 Pink Floyd unveiled their 2-part conceptual live production of ‘The Man’ and ‘The Journey’, covering a 24-hour period of dreaming, waking and other activities. Never released in that form, however some of the songs were used on the ‘More’ soundtrack and the ‘Ummagumma’ album. This volume refers back to ‘The Man’ and ‘The Journey’ tour with live performances in Amsterdam and for the BBC in London, but also includes the bonus tracks from the ‘More’ soundtrack that were used in the film but not on record, plus non-album tracks like the early version of Embryo from the Harvest sampler ‘Picnic’.

Video material includes 20 minutes of ‘The Man’/‘The Journey’ rehearsal at the Royal Festival Hall, directed by Anthony Stern, including Afternoon (Biding My Time), The Beginning (Green Is The Colour), Cymbaline, Beset By Creatures Of The Deep and The End Of The Beginning (the last part of A Saucerful Of Secrets), plus other live performance footage from that year.

1970          DEVI/ATION                                                                

At the end of 1969 and in the early part of 1970, Pink Floyd recorded and mixed their contribution to Michelangelo Antonioni’s alternative view of US society, ‘Zabriskie Point’. 3 songs were released on the soundtrack album, and a further 4 in the expanded CD edition in 1997. Never released on one Pink Floyd disc, this volume compiles remixed and updated versions of the ‘Zabriskie Point’ audio material.

In the same year, Pink Floyd scored their first UK Number One album with ‘Atom Heart Mother’, a collaboration with Ron Geesin, and the audio includes the first performance for the BBC, featuring an orchestra and choir, as well as, on DVD, the original Quad mix.

Video material includes a full hour of Pink Floyd performing live at San Francisco cable TV station KQED plus extracts from historic performances of ‘Atom Heart Mother’, and material from French TV coverage of the St. Tropez festival in Southern France.

1971     REVERBER/ATION                                                                     

In 1971 Pink Floyd recorded the ‘Meddle’ album, containing the LP side-long ‘Echoes’, regarded by many as laying the groundwork for ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’, and, as such, is an important part of the Pink Floyd canon.

This package includes part of the original demos, when the project gestated from ‘Nothing’ to ‘Return Of The Son Of Nothing’, as well as a contemporary BBC session recording.

Audio-visual material includes the original unreleased Quad mix of ‘Echoes’ but also material of live band performances in 1971, including songs performed with Roland Petit and his Marseille ballet company.

1972        OBFUSC/ATION                                                                  

In 1972 Pink Floyd travelled to Hérouville, north of Paris, to record at Strawberry Studios there, based in the town’s Chateau. In a remarkable two weeks, they wrote and recorded one of their most cohesive albums, ‘Obscured By Clouds’, the soundtrack to Barbet Schroeder’s ‘La Vallée’.

1972 saw the release of ‘Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii’, a film of the band performing without an audience in the historic Roman amphitheatre of Pompeii, directed by Adrian Maben. The video material includes the performances from the ‘Live At Pompeii’ film, edited to new 5.1 audio mixes, plus material from contemporary French TV as well as performances from Brighton Dome in June 1972 and further performances with the Roland Petit ballet company.

BONUS        CONTINU/ATION (Exclusive to ‘The Early Years 1965-1972’ box set)

A bonus CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc package includes a CD of early BBC radio sessions, the audio tracks from the film ‘The Committee’, Pink Floyd’s live soundtrack to the 1969 NASA moon landings, and more.

Audio-visual material includes 3 feature films: ‘The Committee’, ‘More’ and ‘La Vallée’ (Obscured By Clouds), plus more live footage and festival performances by the band.
