RIP Warren Dosanjh, Syd Barrett's first manager

Post by Keith Jordan »

Warren Dosanjh was born in Cambridge in 1945 and has lived there for most of his life. He attended the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys from 1956 until 1963, the same school Syd Barrett went to. Dosanjh was the manager and roadie for the band Those Without, which Syd Barrett was a part of before forming Pink Floyd.

Dosanjh has a deep connection to the Cambridge music scene of the 1960s and has extensively researched and documented it. He has also organized walking tours showcasing the venues and bands from that era.

Here is the Cambridge Walking Tours booklet

Storm Thorgerson was of norwegian descent. I wonder of what origin Mr. Dosanjh was?

You're kidding, right? I mean, he's obviously Canadian.
