The band was formed early in 2020, just before COVID hit.  “I’d been playing a lot of tribute shows for various people,” says keyboard player Peter Kirkup, “and at one of those shows a guitarist asked me who I would really like to do a tribute to?  That was easy: Pink Floyd.  Soon after that I met a like-minded drummer, made a few phone calls, and four of us got together for a jam.  We were all huge Pink Floyd fans and everyone showed up having learnt some of our favourite songs note for note, sound for sound.”

​

“Rehearsing between COVID lockdowns, it became a running joke that each time we got together someone would have a new piece of gear – a guitar pedal for the ‘seagulls’ in Echoes, a set of drum skins that had the timbre of Nick Mason’s 1970’s kit, another synth in the rack that I’d programmed to replicate one of Rick’s keyboards.”

​

By the time music venues started to open up again the band had perfected more than two hours of material.

​

“We played our first show at a small club.  People in the audience were probably expecting a bunch of Pink Floyd’s hit songs, but for the first half we played the Wish You Were Here album front to back.  As the wash of sound that opens Shine on You Crazy Diamond slowly filled the room the audience fell to silence. You could have heard a pin drop.”
