Think Floyd

Think Floyd

Forty years ago this month, Pink Floyd gigged our region. Now one of their most respected tribute bands came to show their music has more than stood the test of time.

No talking or explaining till the end. Straight in, back to back classics.

They rocked a first half concert presentation of the legendary Wall concept, with a light show and sounds to match, when back then massive bricks separated band from audience during the show.

This audience may have been surprised that there was no wall, just quality music.

A children and young people chorus from Stagecoach Theatre School at the Theatre Royal acted and sang Another Brick in the Wall and others, adding a delightful local dimension.

Second half saw a selection from other albums, including Shine On You Crazy Diamond, a couple by the late Syd Barrett and their first hit single, Arnold Layne.
