To be published on September 29th 2026 is Places To Go: A Guide To The Pink Floyd's Cambridge, a fold-out illustrated map and guide charting more than 40 Cambridge locations connected to the lives, music and legacy of Pink Floyd.

Family homes, schools and venues sit alongside record shops, chalk pits and riverside meadows, mapping how Cambridge shaped Pink Floyd and how the band, in turn, left its mark on the city. Syd Barrett and Roger Waters grew up within streets of each other, attended the same school and played the same venues before leaving for London in the early 1960s. David Gilmour, who also grew up in Cambridge and knew Barrett from the local music scene, would later complete the connection when he joined the band in 1968.

The publishers note that this is a guide to be used on the street as well as read at home. Each location is accompanied by concise notes placing it within the band's story and Cambridge's cultural history.

With the map and guide written by none other than Glenn Povey - founder and editor of Brain Damage in its fanzine print days from 1985 to 1993, and subsequently author of numerous essential reference books about the Floyd - you are sure of detailed and accurate information. Whilst we've not seen a copy yet, we're sure it will prove an extremely useful, and illuminating, guide to the band's days in the city of Cambridge, whether or not you are planning a visit there.
