Today would have been Syd Barrett’s 66th birthday. I’m a huge fan of Syd’s guitar playing and melodic sense. Spent the evening compiling some of his best stuff, and playing along on my Telecaster. One of my earliest guitar influences, and someone I often reference when I need some inspiration!

Great interview and performance from the BBC’s Look of The Week on 14 May 1967. Features bits of Pow R. Toc H. as well as a full (and truly spectacular) version of Astronomy Domine!
