Back on 22nd December,
we told you that early Pink Floyd producer Joe Boyd was putting the
finishing touches to his autobiography, looking at his work in the
music industry in the sixties.
The annual Brighton Festival
programme has just been announced, and Joe will be participating with a
special show!
 |
| Joe Boyd & Robert Wyatt |
His book, "White Bicycles: Making Music In The 1960s" is
published by Serpent's Tail on 27th May 2006. It includes his work with
the Syd Barrett line up of the Floyd, where he worked on their session
at Sound Techniques Studios, and on the single release of Arnold Layne.
The show marks the launch of his
eagerly awaited autobiography, occurring on the date of publication,
and the legendary producer is joined by founder member of Soft Machine
Robert Wyatt, who helped transform the late sixties psychedelic scene,
alongside Pink Floyd, before carving out a prolific solo career in the
company of Elvis Costello and Björk. Still very much an active
musician, he most recently worked with David Gilmour on his forthcoming
solo album, "On An Island".
The show promises to be a
fascinating insight into both men's illustrious careers, and is being
held at the Corn Exchange in Brighton (on the south coast of England)
at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale on Friday 3rd March, at 10am. Further
information on the show, the venue, and the festival itself, can be
found at www.BrightonFestival.org.
We should have more information
on the book in due course. In the meantime, advance orders for the
book, at time of writing at a discount, can be made through the
following special links: Amazon UK, Canada, France, or Germany.
