While his former band mates in Pink Floyd have become global superstars, Syd Barrett remains an enigma and a complete recluse. But it was Syd who originally formed the band, immediately becoming its chief songwriter and lead guitarist, and, many would say, the force who dominated the group throughout its most creative period.
Syd Barrett - Under Review features rare live and studio performances from this hugely influential and legendary musician, interspersed with the independent review and criticism from a panel of esteemed experts. These include; Melody Maker contributor during the 1960s and early champion of Syd Barrett, Chris Welch ; Barrett biographer and all round expert, David Parker ; Uncut Magazine's features editor, Nigel Williamson; former Soft Machine bassist who backed Syd on Madcap Laughs, Hugh Hopper; Total Rock DJ and journalist, Malcolm Dome and many more.
