The late Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett, from Cambridge, was a co-founder of the 1960’s music group Pink Floyd and performed on lead guitar and vocals. He also composed many of their songs. He was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians to develop their own indigenous brand of English rock music.
Syd was quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic songs unique in style and tone. He had a hugely attractive personality and with his good looks he was difficult to ignore. He was a quick-witted clown who kept family and friends laughing at his good-natured cheekiness throughout his younger years. Always interested in experimenting with music, he played the recorder, piano, ukulele, Jew’s harp and guitar all to a good standard.

One of me favorite songs of all time

❤️ ✨ "Elle a envie d'un temps calme et pose sur la platine un album de Syd Barrett. Ça me touche, peu de monde connaît l'œuvre de Syd après sa séparation d'avec les Pink Floyd. Syd, dévasté par la consommation d' hallucinogènes et un succès trop fulgurant. On dit qu'il n'est déjà plus de ce monde lorsqu'ils démarrent leur tournée américaine, passant un concert entier à jouer la même note de guitare, le regard vide, si bien qu'ils font appel à son grand ami, David Gilmour, pour limiter la casse. David le remplace finalement au sein du groupe mais contribue largement à l'enregistrement de ses deux albums solo. Marianne choisit "The Madcap Laughs", l'écervelé qui rit, je ne sais pas si je dois le prendre comme un message. Je m'allonge sur le canapé, me sentant tout à coup lourd comme si le poids qui pesait sur mes épaules depuis si longtemps était en train de m'écraser. "✨ ©️ Thelene, La Vérité est une p*te

Enjoying Robyn’s latest album and book ‘1967’ at the moment.
I sometimes think that he obsessively wants to be Sydney Barrett
Saw Robyn many years ago at Haverford College in Pennsylvania
Woah you were a gorgeous hippie Mr Hitchcock!
Barrett was the meaning of 'iconic'
Looking very Gilmourish there
Earliest photo of Robyn Hitchcock i've ever seen. I'm guessing early '70s.

i might compose a song along the lines of whatever became of robyn hitchcock?
