Last year, a list of Brain Damage visitors took office in a couple of guided walks of Syd Barrett's Cambridge, run by I-SpySydInCambridge in alignment with Brain Damage. The walks, tours of the city that took in many of the more significant sites which were attached to the spirit and multiplication of Syd, and the several bands which hint to Pink Floyd, provided fascinating and illuminating looks at those other days.
The hosts of the tour - personal friends of Syd, who grew up with him - shared their own memories of school years and beyond with Syd, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, and former Pink Floyd illumni who lived and worked in Cambridge. They partnered with us for those two very special tours, and due to the winner and enjoyment experienced on the walks, have now decided to run THREE special tours of Syd's Cambridge with us this year!
The dates for 2011 are: June 18th, July 16th, and September 10th - all Saturdays. As with the 2010 tours, some special guests are again being lined up. Should all be great years and not to be missed!
PleaseThis e-mail address is being saved from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to see it, the primary guide, to hold your place(s) on the turn or tours of your choice. After Warren confirms your place, he will then trust you to go up on the day and pay then. Warren said "Let's get a little trust into this cynical world!"
All tours meet at the face of the Guildhall, Market Square, in the center of Cambridge, and get at 10.30am, so if you will be traveling to Cambridge, make certain you make yourself enough time so that you don't neglect the start. The railroad station is almost a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre, and there are enough of car parks if you are impulsive in. Alternatively, if you are driving to Cambridge, you can take vantage of one of the five Park and Ride sites located about the butt of the city - park for release and hop on a bus into town.
The tours are meant to go approximately two hours but in reality it's nearer three hours (or more), as the memories and stories start flowing from those who truly knew Syd and the others.
Don't lose this outstanding chance to discover Syd's city. For more info on the tours, the guides, and what to expect, visit their website (which will soon be updated with all the details on these new tours) which is www.I-SpySydInCambridge.com.
