Cambridge neuroscientists will be among the members of an innovative educational charity joining a Pink Floyd tribute band to celebrate the transforming power of music. At Squeaky Gate it doesn't matter who you are - we're all there to make music and have fun." - —Helene Gautier Two Cambridge neuroscientists will be taking to the stage as part of a show celebrating the music of Pink Floyd, the band synonymous with the psychedelic rock of the 1960s and 1970s. The events, which will feature some of the band's best-loved numbers including Wish You Were Here and Another Brick in the Wall , will help raise money for Squeaky Gate, a highly-creative educational charity that works with people experiencing mental health problems. Scientists Hannah Critchlow and Helene Gautier will be part of a group of performers from Squeaky Gate joining tribute band Brit Floyd to play at Birmingham NIA tomorrow (10 May) and Cambridge Corn Exchange on 2 June. The two events follow a performance at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday. Critchlow is part of the award-winning Naked Scientists, a team based at the University of Cambridge where they produce science radio programmes and podcasts that are broadcast internationally, including UK-wide on the BBC. With an award from the Wellcome Trust Society, and in partnership with the British Neuroscience Association, the group is developing "Naked Neuroscience”, a travelling science stage show and podcast that will target schools and the general public, taking audiences on a journey through the brain.
