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.

Great art !

I wish the Crazy Diamond box was readily available still. It has Syd's solo takes of his material prior to the overdubbing of other instruments and I preferred several of those to the final versions. Someone should issue those for streaming purposes and possibly vinyl.

Preso ❤

Any fans of Syd should grab a copy of "Have You Got it Yet", the latest documentary about the troubled lyrical genius, now out on Blu-ray. It's packed full of never seen before live footage, interviews with David Gilmour, Nick Mason & Roger Waters, along with Syd’s sister Rosemary Breen, as well as with original band managers Peter Jenner, Andrew King & The Who’s Pete Townshend & Blur’s Graham Coxo.
