Those of you with long memories, will recall that 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 is a
very popular event in the city, and Joe will be participating in it
with a special show, which we are giving away a pair of tickets to!
 |
| Joe Boyd & Robert Wyatt |
His
book, "White Bicycles: Making Music In The 1960s" is published by
Serpent's Tail on 25th May 2006. It includes his work with the Syd
Barrett line up of the Floyd, where, amongst other things, 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 two days after 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. More details at www.BrightonFestival.org.
