As bass guitarist Mark Dole said, “At core, we are looking at the legacy of the music. Our vision and desire is to keep their music alive so they will be remembered in years to come. We want to stand up as the next representatives of these guys in the 21st century, by becoming the truly authentic Pink Floyd concept show for Australia.”
And there are certainly going to be some big surprises in store on the night!
Students from California Gully Primary School will be joining the Experience Floyd Concept band live on stage to recreate this progressive rock music of the 70s and 80s.
