Robert Russell, one of the event organisers wanted to set up a charity concert after his niece was diagnosed with breast cancer. As a life long Pink Floyd fan, he wanted to put on a Pink Floyd night, and after hearing rock band The Untitled playing a concert at Pivo Pivo, he approached them and asked of they would be willing to play a one off Pink Floyd tribute evening. Being Pink Floyd fans themselves, they were happy to oblige. After 3 months of hard work, they even surprised themselves by how well it all came together, and decided to take it further, and so Pond Floyd were born.
Incredibly brave, if it can be done right, the end result speaks for itself.
The Wall is an iconic film and probably the most well known Pink Floyd album to people who are not familiar with Pink Floyd music, Dark Side of the Moon is the biggest selling album of all time and this year is its 40th anniversary.
The band perform Pink Floyd music as close to Pink Floyd as is possible without millions of pounds of lighting and effects on a shoestring budget.
The breakthrough charity event is a family event (over 14s), therefore a wide age range will be exposed to the great music of Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd music takes the listener on a journey, and their music speaks for itself.
Pond Floyd are LIVE tonight at Glasgow Barrowlands (2). Tickets are still available but VERY limited.
“I’ll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon”
