First, an update for you on the planned sequel to the Syd Barrett festival which was to be held in London later this year: this has been delayed, but the organisers now have a sustainable plan for a much longer and more comprehensive exhibition, together with a series of evening talks and related music events in March 2011, in London.

Materials for the Syd exhibition are still sought, so any owners of Syd's artwork, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , who is also after those with experience of the 1960s London scene who'd like to participate in evening events.

Rob Chapman's book "Syd Barrett: A Very Irregular Head" has been getting some good feedback from those who've already read it. We hope to bring our review to you soon, but in the meantime, pop over to www.SydBarrett.com where they have an interesting Q&A with him, along with a segment of the book which was removed prior to it going to press.

You'll recall that we recently reminded you about the special guided tours of Syd's Cambridge, run by personal friends of Barrett, in conjunction with Brain Damage. More details can be found here, but the reason for this reminder is to let you know that the tour on July 17th is now full. There are still some spaces left on September 11th, so email chief tour guide This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to book your place(s) before it's too late!
