Mini bio
How it started.
David and Syd Barrett met as children in Cambridge and began playing guitar together. While Syd co-founded Pink Floyd, David played in his own bands. He joined Pink Floyd as a singer and guitarist in 1968, shortly before Syd left.
Finding his voice.
His guitar, singing and songwriting helped shape Pink Floyd’s worldwide success, including The Dark Side of the Moon. He released his first solo album in 1978 and later led Pink Floyd through A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell.
A continuing conversation.
His solo catalogue includes On an Island, Rattle That Lock and Luck and Strange. The latter was co-produced with Charlie Andrew and features Romany Gilmour on Between Two Points. The 2024 tour became a live album and a Rome concert film in 2025.
