It’s recently been announced that a rare live recording of Syd Barrett guesting on guitar with The Last Minute Put Together Boogie Band in Cambridge in July 1972 is to be released – so now seems like a perfect time to revisit the extensive tribute we published in Uncut just after Barrett’s death in July 2006 (Take 112, September 2006). As well as a fantastic piece written by David Cavanagh, we hear from Syd’s friends, collaborators and admirers, including David Bowie, David Gilmour, Mick Rock, Peter Jenner, Damon Albarn, Julian Cope and Kevin Ayers. Shine on…
Christine McVie has rejoined Fleetwood Mac.
The news was broken on Saturday night [January 11] by Mick Fleetwood during a concert in Hawaii.
According to a report on Consequence Of Sound, Fleetwood told the audience at Uncle Willie K's BBQ Blues Fest in Maui,”This is the worst kept secret there is, but Christine McVie will be rejoining Fleetwood Mac.”
“Life is good,” reflects Mick Fleetwood. We are over two hours into Fleetwood Mac’s third and final show at the O2, and it has fallen to Fleetwood to introduce his fellow bandmates on stage.
