‘In The Flesh’ this spring…
Hi folks.
Firstly, a belated ‘Happy New Year’ to all our fellow Floydies – and apologies for the lack of blog posts lately (it’s been a massively busy time for the admin people!). A huge thank you to everyone who came to see us in Nuneaton at the end of January as we kicked off our 2019 schedule, the band’s 23rd consecutive year of live shows! What an incredible atmosphere you created. The Queen’s Hall was pretty much full and the reaction coming back at us on stage was just amazing.
Rather than simply posting about just the next show, we have a number of exciting gigs we’re looking forward to in the coming months that we wanted to let you know about.
First up is a return to ‘The Pot’ when we head up to Derby on Saturday 16th February for our annual gig at The Flowerpot on King Stree. Always an amazing night – and one that usually sells out so make sure you get your tickets booked this week. Advance tickets are available from the promoter’s website at www.rawpromo.co.uk
Then exactly a month later on Saturday 16th March we play our first show in north west Leicestershire for many years. We’re excited to be bringing our full show to The Palace, High Street, Ibstock and tickets are now available to buy from the venue, or to reserve by calling 01530 262400 or emailing enquiries@thepalaceibstock.co.uk
April sees us return to The Village Hall in Marchington near Uttoxeter on Saturday 6th April. Our show sold out when we made our debut there back in December 2017, and we’re told tickets are moving quickly again already so we can’t wait to return. Contact the promoter for advance tickets via 01283 820394 or info@dogandpartridgemarchington.co.uk
The Swan Theatre in Worcester beckons in May. Saturday 11th to be precise. We’ve been playing this wonderful volunteer-run theatre since 2004 and it will always be a part of our annual diary for as long as we continue. We LOVE it there. The stage set and facilities are quite simply top notch, making it the best place to perform and watch our full show. Tickets are already on sale here.
Then at the end of May we’re back in Worcestershire to make a rare fesitval appearance when we go to the beautiful new location for the MELLO FESTIVAL, now based at Severn End Country Estate, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire. Mello is very much a family-orientated festival and takes place over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend. We’re due to play on the Saturday (25th), though our exact stage time is still to be confirmed as we write this.
All our shows are detailed on our ‘LIVE’ page so please check there for details, or you can always email us at band@pinkfloydtribute.co.uk with any queries. We always reply promptly!
Thank you for your continued support. Shine On!
