SYD
SYN OPSIS
The story of PINk FLoyd founding member and crazy diamond, SYD BarrETT. Set in London and the US during the psychedelic sixties, the summer of love, SYD was the creative genius who, influenced some would say by his later diagnosed schizophrenia, created the PInk FLoyd sound and style.
The sound of the underground culture when everyone else was listening to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.
Writer of their first two hit singles, Arnold Layne and See Emily Play, Syd was the inspiration behind the MaSsiVE stadium band they became, having been thrown out of the band after only three years.
HE is remembered in their songs, ‘WIsh You Were Here' and 'Shine on Crazy Diamond'. Guitarist Roger Waters once said, ‘If it wasn’t for SYd, there would be no Pink Floyd’
SYD died in 2006
