About Syd Barrett tribute at Night & Day Manchester

Hello my friends, some of you know me from Tycoons Follies or The Fall and some of you don't but I organized a Syd Barrett tribute night at Night & Day Cafe in Manchester on 28th September 2006. The night was an enormous success and £1000 was made for Cancer research UK. The bands were amazing, every one of them playing Syd Barrett covers - the night would also not have been what it was without the stunning visuals and films that Wayne had made. It was filmed and recorded so watch this space for updates and details. Thankyou everyone for taking part and making the night so special, warm and memorable, and most of all thankyou Syd.

Ian Barrett	Oct 6 2006 8:33 AM Hi all I hope you had a great time on the night. My name is Ian Barrett - and I'm a nephew of Roger/Syd's I live in Manchester and am gutted I couldn't make it to the show but I was on holiday in Kefalonia. I just wanted to say thanks to all who came and especially all who played. I'm sure Rog will be looking down tapping his feet! Another thing I heard recently is that a brewery has created a beer as a tribute to him. How cool is that! 'Crazy Diamond' it's called. Maybe he was up there that night listening to you all play his songs while supping a pint of Crazy Diamond! Love to all and sorry i couldn't come. I'd love a copy of the DVD when it's finished though. Ian Barrett
Little Neemo	Oct 6 2006 6:16 AM Steve -sorry to take so long to leave this message, I've had my head up arse this last week. Great night last Thurs, I had a ball. Great acts, lots of good people there. Well done chief!
Eege	Oct 2 2006 7:01 PM Another Hip Hip Hooray from me. Nice work, Steve...you kept it all together, running smoothly and played a great slot to boot. I had a great time and I'm sure I can speak for t'other Beeps Boys too. Let us know about any other plans (such as getting pissed sometime!) Ian x

Ntlie	Sep 29 2006 9:34 AM Smashing night!!!! Natx
Mark	Sep 29 2006 6:50 AM There was some great covers played last night. I'll only mention SOME of the ones I liked cos I don't like slagging people off who at least had the guts to get up on stage and do something. So 3 cheers to everyone Trouble is I don't know the names of who they were or what most of the bands were called. The first band on 'Sophie's Pigeons' did a lovely foot tapping version of 'Two Of A Kind' which was great. Early on a bloke went on stage and played a STORMING version of 'Flaming', he was playing electric guitar and singing along to a backing track but it sounded great. It was almost twice as fast as the original. Was funny though, he got the words wrong at one point and let a loud "shit!" which was rather funny. It was stomping. A total madman did a great jumping up and down version, with his band, of 'Baby Lemonade'. A band from Liverpool did a superb cover of 'See Emily Play'. A group of young lads got up and said this was their first gig but they did 2 really good songs, the first one was 'Lucifer Sam' which was nicely done but a tad slow. They did the best, by far, version of 'Bike' complete with 'mouse' piano runs and bizarre sound effects at the end. For their first gig they did brilliantly. A band did a completely bizarre but great version of 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond'. Thing is, this could have come from the soundtrack of 'Kill Bill', it was all very Spanish sounding complete with some great brass instruments. It was only when he started singing about 5 minutes into that any recognised what they were playing. Another thing that was really good was that inbetween bands they had a video screen on which was displayed the 'Arnold Layne' promo, 'Jugband Blues' , 'Scarecrow', footage from 'Tonight..' but they also had some REALLY well but together specially made 'new' films for a couple of songs. One was for 'Flaming' and it had Syd animated from a photograph in the style of the animation from 'Monty Python' with lots of bizarre things moving across the screen and Syd playing his guitar in a 'cut out and paste ' type of way. They were REALLY good little videos and I'd LOVE to get copies of them . I've never seen them before. Will they be made available? It was all being videoed from the sound desk from what I could make out. Will we be able to get a copy? The only slightly negative aspect was that we had to listen to 'Bike' and 'Baby Lemonade' about 4 times EACH. There was loads of songs that could have been substituted instead of hearing the same songs over and over. 'Lucy Leave' is an easy song to play and would have sounded great played live but wasn't. I'm glad I went. Hearing people cheering for the great late Syd Barrett was lovely! Was the first time too that I'd ever heard any of Syd's songs played live. I bet his spirit at least popped in to see what it was all about! If only for a minute! :p Thanks to everyone involved for organising it, was great!
'Phingers' Phil	Sep 29 2006 6:17 AM Ace night last night. Top stuff!

Scythe Rose [Venus_Temptation]	Sep 15 2006 10:42 AM "Mild the reflecting electricity eyes The Life that was ours grew sharper And stronger away and Beyond Short wheeling fresh spring Gripped whith blanched bones moaned Magnesium preoverbs and sobs." -Wolfpack-, by Syd Barrett In one of the few interviews released by Syd Barrett in an article entitled "dust and guitars" published in the magazine "Rolling Stone", Barrett in the first years 70' it said that Wolfpack to the moment, was his preferred song.

Maynard and the Molemen	Sep 1 2006 7:18 AM Wish we could fly to England to play "Song For Syd" at the tribute show, sadly, we are but a poor unsigned garage band.I wonder if there is a way we could play it here and you could watch there via the web.Have a great show!

Eege	Jul 13 2006 5:26 PM Smart idea... I know I felt a little knock sideways when I heard the news. It was strange enough knowing he was still around... seeing the odd photo of him buying milk with a newspaper under his arm... but knowing that that's all over now is a bit strange. I liked seeing pics of him and appreciating his defiance... earning his right to be a regular person. I can't imagine Kurt Cobain or many others just dropping out altogether... disappearing, i suppose. Anyway... there was only one Roger in Pink Floyd... and it's not the boring architect one with the horses face! Smoke Your Drugs
