Cambridge Live, the charity that runs the Cambridge Corn Exchange, is unveiling a memorial at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on Thursday 27 October to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett, who was born and spent most of his life in Cambridge and who played his last ever live concerts at the venue in 1972. To mark the occasion an evening concert - a celebration of the life and music of Syd - is being staged at the Corn Exchange featuring Swedish band Men on the Border, who reinterpret the music of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, backed by the Sandviken Symphony Orchestra, also from Sweden.

The concert will feature 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 the Floyd's High Hopes. The concert will include 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.

Tickets are now on sale, priced at £27.50 including booking fees, from CambridgeLiveTrust.co.uk.

In December, the nominees for the 58th annual Grammy Awards were announced, and recent Roger Waters projects were recognised, with a pair of nominations being given - Roger's Amused to Death reissue was nominated for Best Surround Sound Album, and his recent concert film The Wall was nominated for Best Music Video/Film.

Last night, the 2016 Grammy Awards were held, and the winners announced, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Whilst The Wall was not selected for its category, the Amused to Death reissue proved a deserved winner, with James Guthrie and Joel Plante picking up the gramophone-shaped trophy.

Our congratulations to the pair for triumphing in the Best Surround Sound Album category. For those who are yet to hear the 5.1 mix of Amused to Death, our review can be read here.

Back in 2004, David Gilmour joined Jools Holland and friends (including Ronnie Wood, Tom Jones and Jeff Beck) for that year's headlining Teenage Cancer Trust concert at London's Royal Albert Hall.

This incredible charity puts on an array of shows every year, with a variety of performers mainly from the world of music, as well as a comedy night, all held at this historic venue. This year's performers have just been announced, and as well as evenings headlined by The Vaccines, Simply Red, Bring Me The Horizon and New Order, the final night is devoted purely to David Gilmour, making it a fifth performance to take place at the venue this year.

David's concert for the Trust takes place on Sunday, 24th April, and tickets - priced from £25 - go on sale at 9am (UK) on Friday, 19th February through the following official agents:
