Syd BarrettMandy Morton and Nicola Upson celebrate the life of the original Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett. Mandy talks to Syd’s girlfriend Jenny Spires who recalls the heady days of the 1960s in Cambridge and on the London scene, the music, the fashions and the very early days of Pink Floyd before Barrett left the band.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are listening to Cambridge 105 than ever but in a competitive media landscape it’s sometimes difficult to make a noise. And advertising revenues are falling across the sector.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves, who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, whose businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

Please help to support community radio and make our future more secure. You can support Cambridge 105 by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution through Local Giving.

Thank you.

Volunteer

Cambridge 105 needs its team of volunteers to keep it running. Everything from finances to programming is managed by people who willingly give up their time to do something they enjoy – being involved in community radio.
