They offer an engaging and energetic performance celebrating the magical music of Pink Floyd. A stunning light and video show complement their exciting and amazingly accurate performance of music spanning the entire output of the Floyd, with a selection of tracks from nearly all the albums represented in the 2½-hour set. All your favourites are featured, and maybe a couple of less familiar tracks for the real aficionado.

Some reactions to recent shows:
“Blown away by this band. Professional and talented on the next level!! I've sound engineered touring bands for many years and not many bands grab my attention the way these guys did.” (James)
“I've seen a number of Pink Floyd tribute bands over the years and I can honestly say that Pinked Floyd are by far the best. Never have I seen a group full of SUCH incredibly talented musicians, a lead guitarist that's so good you can't take your eyes off him and a singer so unbelievably good you can't breathe…Pinked Floyd you nailed it!” (Joe Max)
“My heroes will never be forgotten as long as you are on the stage and that’s from a 68-year-old roadie of the original PF! You are another brick in the wall!" (David Larkin, former PF roadie)
