Last month, a number of Brain Damage visitors took part in the first of the guided walks of Syd Barrett's Cambridge, run by I-SpySydInCambridge in conjunction with BD. The walk, a tour of the city that took in many of the more significant sites which were connected to the life and times of Syd, and the various bands which lead to Pink Floyd, provided a fascinating and illuminating look at those early days.
The hosts of the tour - personal friends of Syd, who grew up with him - shared their own memories of school days and beyond with Syd, Roger, David, and other Floyd illumni who lived and worked in Cambridge.
A second tour has been arranged, for September 11th. All places on this tour have now been booked, and as with the first tour, some special guests are again being lined up. Should be a great day!
Next year's tour dates will be announced in due course (either later this year, or early next), and a selection of pictures from this year's tours will be on www.I-SpySydInCambridge.com before the end of this year.
