"In the Flesh" The Pink Floyd Show
Friday 17th September
ON SALE
ADULT: £17.50
Performance starts at 7.30pm
In the Flesh present a spectacular stage presentation of over two and a half hours featuring tracks from Pink Floyd's classic albums from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn through to A Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall.
Launched in early 2007 and based in the South West of England, they have received glowing praise for their accurate renditions of Pink Floyd's timeless music. This isn’t an over-blown hi-fi extravaganza, which can be heard elsewhere, but an authentic excursion into Pink Floyd’s most creative period from the mid-sixties to early eighties using original instruments and analogue equipment - including valve amps and a Hammond organ – that defined the true Pink Floyd sound.
In The Flesh continue to tour the UK to glowing praise for their attention to detail with a hugely impressive sound – this seven piece band is complimented by a saxophonist and backing vocalists as well as a lighting rig that features the trademark circular projection screen.
This is an amazing show for all Floyd fans and is not to be missed!
