syd barrett tribute song/the city wakes festival

Post by jrdouglas »

Hi all,
My name is John Douglas and I am writing to inform you of a Syd Barrett inspired song by my band, The Trashcan Sinatras, being released in conjunction with the Syd Barrett Tribute Events at The City Wakes Festival in Cambridge. The proceeds go to the Syd Barrett Trust, an affiliated charity associated with Escape Artists, one of the charities directors is Rosemary Breen, Syd's sister.

Here is a link to The City Wakes website with information about the song, it's inspiration and release dates.

The song is called 'Oranges and Apples' I hope you enjoy it.

John

Very Nice! 8) The tribute section of the forum has made up a band called Charybdis and we wrote a Syd tribute ourselves entitled "Someday I'll Take The Time". Search around in the tribute section and give it a listen to.
