The city of London might see a tribute event in 2010 devoted to Syd Barrett similar to the one that took place in Cambridge in ’08.
Escape Artists, the firm that manages The Syd Barrett Fund and presented the first such event, The City Awakes, in Cambridge last year, says it’s eying London for a second event.
“This project is still in the very early stages, with nothing guaranteed as yet since we still need to secure funding for the project,” the company released in a statement today.
“However, if successful, we hope to present another multi-arts tribute to Syd Barrett (towards the end of 2010).”
More information about The City Awakes is at the event’s Web site.
Escape Artists is a U.K.-based arts and mental health charity and professional production house. It strives to improve quality of life, health and social welfare, by recognizing the importance of creativity to people’s well-being.
