SYD BARRETT - 1946 : 2006 - R.I.P

I cannot really say much more about Roger "Syd" Barrett that hasn't already been bludgeoned into the mind-set of anyone who appreciates unique genius. A LOT of the time these "people" who are lauded and heaped with praise from the classic era of music would not have deserved to hand around the sugar cubes at a "World Of Oz" get together but Syd Barrett..........?
Syd Barrett.
He owned psychedelia, he owned the most important chart in history (1967) and he very nearly owned the world!! The rest you can google.
I will always have his music, his 5mm colour home-movies and his cheeky madness. Click here for some Syd fun that a fan put together after his death - http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/bike.php
It kind of sums Syd up in 2 and a half minutes.
SYD BARRETT - A legend, a true star.

| IT'S SUMMER.....TIME FOR SOME GIGS, NEWS AND A SIZZLING COMPETITION....!! | Fri 5th May 2006 | Hello one and all!! Yes we know it's been quiet around these parts of late. It's that damn Butch My-Space and the Sundance podcast that's been scarin' the natives around old Pug-Gobblers-Creek.....!! Sorry, I decided to talk in old western American style there but you get my gist as they say.....!! Other things have been happening but as is todays fickle world of things becoming out of date when they're invented, the old "Pugwashtheband" site has been a little quiet. The up-surge of activity on My-Space has been incredibly benificial and eye-opening for the band and the one on one contact with fans of all shapes - sizes - colours - creeds has been really fun and enlightening. A quick word on the My-Space page is that the forward slash is "pugwalsh" with the "L". We are so sorry for this but it was out of our hands and the forward slash pugwash has been taken by a guy with a Pug-Dog in L.A somewhere.....?! Typical, bloody typical!!

| "JOLLITY" is out (just), MORE GIGS (just) but WE'RE GETTING THERE.....! | Wed 5th Oct 2005 | Nobody at Pug-central would be so naieve as to think that the release of JOLLITY would be a smooth, stress free experience. The 1000% commited people at 1969 Records are fighting tooth and nail to make sure Pugwash are treated on an even-keel with EVERYONE else in the seedy minutae of the Irish music industry. So.....it's TOUGH!!
