Syd Barrett

Madcap's Last Laugh

10 May 2007 / 19:30
Barbican Hall

Tickets: £15 / 20 / 25

An evening in homage to the eccentric genius of Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett whose creative legacy and quintessential English vocal delivery has proven remarkably influential.

Barrett was an obscure figure whose life-long struggle with mental illness shortened his creative period in music to only 7 years, however during that short time such classics as Arnold Layne and See Emily Play and Floyds first album The Piper at The Gates of Dawn were all written and recorded.

Recently David Bowie, Bobby Gillespie, Brian Eno and Jimmy Page have all paid personal tribute to the 'Crazy Diamond'. This special event curated with Barrett's first producer Joe Boyd features many special guests performing Syd’s songs as well as rare film footage, lighting effects and spoken word.

2 days after my birthday!

I saw her do "Plague Mass" on Easter Sunday once.

islaja were crap the time i saw them, but i'm keen to see paavoharju and richard youngs, hopefully he want be doing a capella folk songs like at atp though

I thought Richard Youngs was pretty good at ATP. Totally different to what I expected, but nonetheless good.

But you're right, I'm not sure I'd want to see that performance again.

well for a guy who has such a reputation for his guitar playing (which i've never heard) it seems a waste, so i'd like to hear him play

anybody going to see diamanda then?

I might be going.

i might see you there then

islaja were crap when I saw them too. maybe it's a part of the programme.

I gots my tix, can't wait.

I'm tempted but other commitments might get in the way. I am in London for a dirty East London techno night this weekend though. Which makes me a winner. Hooray!

i'm in london every night, i win more

You two stop flirting.
