The world’s first convention dedicated to the band Ghost will happen in the UK this Halloween in Sheffield. The unofficial fan-organised event will take over the entire Corporation venue with four spaces for performances, galleries, exhibits, and a market!
When I last saw Brit Floyd in August, I said that I would gladly see them again. I did just that on Tuesday night at The State Theatre in New Brunswick NJ.
Over the last two years, the State Theatre took advantage of the downtime forced by the pandemic to completely refurbish the facilities. New carpet, new seats, new bar, new bathrooms…everything has been updated and it looks great. I would swear that the seats are even a bit wider than they were before. Parking is readily available in a public garage just a five minute walk from the venue, and there are tons of restaurants of every type in the immediate area. Continue reading
Brit Floyd is a Pink Floyd tribute band, but to call them such diminishes what they have really achieved. They formed in 2011, and have been performing the Pink Floyd catalogue ever since. The brainchild of now musical director Damian Darlington, it has evolved over the years to become a grand spectacle closely mirroring a Pink Floyd concert.

Barreling towards the end of another successful run of US tour dates, The Australian Pink Floyd rolled into the Mesa Arts Center in Arizona recently, ready to enthrall the faithful disciples of Pink Floyd with another show. Putting on a great performance true to the authentic Floyd concert experience is no small task, and it’s a compliment to the band how consistent they are from show to show. On this night they were in true form and you could easily close your eyes and think you were seeing the genuine article. Opening up the proceedings on this tour is Led Zeppelin 2, themselves a faithful recreation of the biggest and brightest moments of every Zep era. Each band delivered all of the epic bombast, and softer moments too of each act. You can see that even details about the bands that would seem minute to the average fan have been replicated down to the elemental level. Captured here by Melina Dellamarggio of Melina D Photography, you are transported back in time via your your mind’s eye and your ears, to when rock gods roamed stages and enthralled fans.

The Australian Pink Floyd
Performing music by Pink Floyd, complete with an authentic stage show, The Australian Pink Floyd have sold over 4 million tickets worldwide since first performing in Adelaide, Australia in 1988, and have shared the stage with David Gilmour himself. Headed by Steve Mac (Guitar/Vocals). They began touring throughout Europe and the UK in 1994, and in September of that year is when Gilmour showed up backstage to join them for one of their shows. With a live DVD Eclipsed By The Moon seeing TAPF performing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety released in 2014, Australian Pink Floyd has created the opportunity to relive the concert experience of one of the most historical bands of our time. in addition, Led Zeppelin 2 are led by avant-garde/extreme music luminary Bruce Lamont of Yakuza/Corrections House. The band performs perfect renditions of the classic Led Zep repertoire.
