Back where it all started
Hi everyone.
We’re finally back in Coventry, the city where this band was ‘born’, this coming Saturday… 23rd April… with our first gig at The Arches Music Venue in nearly 11 years! The Arches itself has undergone a big refurbishment since it was taken over by new management just prior to the pandemic. They’re ‘keeping music live’ and as always, we’re delighted to support people who do that.
As some of you will know, DSOTW was formed in 1996 to celebrate the 50th birthday of the legendary John ‘Crazy Diamond’ Wall. Along with his good friends Barry Page and Stuart ‘Cossy’ Cosgrove, they created a band dedicated to performing the music of Pink Floyd… at a time when the concept of ‘tribute bands’ was yet to catch on. 26 years later and the band is stronger than ever, with some older ‘stalwarts’ now blended with new musicians, still carrying on John’s enduring legacy… something we’re all immensely proud of.
We’ve enjoyed some brilliant shows/gigs since we ‘came back to life’ last October – following an unwanted but necessary 18 month hibernation – and the set now includes some new Floyd tracks we’ve not played in Coventry before. As such we can’t wait to see some faces on Saturday… old and new!
Advance tickets can be purchased here… but you can also just turn up on the night and ‘pay on the door’ in the old fashioned way!
The address is The Arches Music Venue, 22/23 Arches Industrial Estate, Coventry CV1 3JQ. We’re on stage at around 8.30pm.
Shine On!
DSOTW
