A quick reminder for you that tonight, Saturday October 11th, at 7pm, the UK's BBC Radio 2 presents the hour-long "Remember A Day: Richard Wright In His Own Words".

Drawing on BBC archive and an exclusive interview conducted by producer Mark Hagen in September 2007, the last radio interview that Wright gave, Richard offers his unique and now sadly poignant perspective on 40 years as a member of one of the world's all time great rock bands. Music, all composed by Richard, includes Remember A Day, Us and Them, The Great Gig in the Sky, Sysyphus, Echoes, Wearing The Inside Out and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

BBC Radio 2 can be heard via FM, DAB and Digital Freeview, Virgin Media cable and Sky Satellite, and via www.BBC.co.uk.

UPDATE: UK residents can now hear it again, on demand, for seven days via this link at the BBC iPlayer site (which can also be found on the Virgin Media cable TV service).

The celebration of Syd Barrett taking part in Cambridge later this month, has just had an interesting item gifted to it. The curiously titled, 12-page book Fart Enjoy was created in 1965 by Syd himself on seven cardboard pages, bound with Sellotape, and was sent as a reply to a friend, Andrew Rawlinson. Andrew had previously sent Syd the outline of Russia on a piece of paper and asked him to decorate it however he wished. The resultant blue-painted country was added to countries decorated by others, making an incredible global view.

Whilst most of Fart Enjoy was reproduced in the 2007, 40th anniversary edition CD of Pink Floyd's Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, it is only the second time the whole thing will have been displayed in public (the first time being 2003's superb Interstellar exhibition in Paris). The Syd Barrett trust, who have been kindly given it by Andrew, have put the whole book, along with Andrew's reminiscences, onto The City Wakes website for all to enjoy...

Our congratulations to David Gilmour, who was this afternoon honoured for his Outstanding Contribution to Music at Q Magazine's 2008 Awards. On receiving the well-deserved award, he was quoted as saying: "I'm going to dedicate this to my old friend and colleague Richard Wright who died a couple of weeks ago with whom I've worked for 40 odd years".

The ceremony, held at London's Grosvenor House Hotel, is an annual event organised by the magazine, and this year the Outstanding Contribution award was sponsored by Gibson Guitars. David received a standing ovation as he was presented with the award, and toasted his late friend and bandmate.

We've got three updates for you today relating to the eagerly anticipated The City Wakes tribute to Syd Barrett, taking place later this month in his home town of Cambridge: a new event poster that you can purchase (autographed if you so desire), a new album of songs by Syd Barrett being created for the event, and also details of how YOU can help with a proposed documentary on The City Wakes.
