Hi
I've been working at BBC Radio 4 on getting some music documentaries from the archive online and thought you might like to know that 'The Twilight World of Syd Barrett' is now available to listen to or download. Start here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011plrs
The download link is on the bottom right of the page.
The programme features one of the last recorded interviews with Rick Wright, appearances from Peter Jenner, David Gilmour and Nick Mason. There's also a rare chance to hear Syd's sister Rosemary talking about his life after his return to Cambridge. Hope you enjoy it.
best
Peter

Peter, thank you. The link still works and I just listened to the documentary, really thought it was very informative hearing from people who were close to Syd. I agree he had a fascinating mind...and he pushed it over the edge of no return, basically with too many drugs it seems, especially lsd.
But I'd like to say many people we consider to be "normal" act in seriously irresponsible ways - as an animal rights activist and environmentalist I find many "acceptable" practices to be very bizarre and scary in our world's reality. Syd was an artist first and foremost.
