Act Biography
The World's most exciting Pink Floyd Show. Witness a stunning show dedicated to one of the most enduring bands of all time performed by nine world-class British musicians complete with a staggering light show and breath-taking movie projections. The best of British music performed by the best of Britain's musicians - The Spirit Lives On
Formed earlier this year with six members of the well-known Floyd tribute band Off the Wall, the nine-piece act will not only be performing some of rock music’s best-loved songs but putting on the type of world-class stage act that Floyd fans have become accustomed to.
Says Stella Fairhead, guitarist and vocalist with the band: “Our aim is to put on a high quality, visually interactive show because that’s what the music of Pink Floyd has always been about. Rather than simply play the songs note for note, we will interpret the tunes in our own way, as well as including stunning light shows.”
The 2_ hour gigs feature songs from some of the band’s most famous albums including Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall plus some numbers from the Syd Barrett era and other rarities.
Band members have a wealth of experience behind them and individually, have worked with a wide selection of artistes including Gabrielle, M People, the Sugababes, All Saints, Gary Barlow, the Sneaker Pimps and the Mighty Wah.
As well as gigs around the UK, TSOPFS will also be touring venues in Russia and Hungary – see www.floydspirit.com/tour.htm. Plus, on 20th November, they have been asked to play a special concert in Germany to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Comments Stella: “Not only is it a real privilege to be asked to play on such a momentous occasion but we’ll be metaphorically walking in Roger Waters’ footsteps as he famously played The Wall there in 1990.”
She adds: “Despite the band being less than a year old, we have a wealth of experience at playing Pink Floyd’s music.
Many of us were in Off The Wall which was formed in 2000 and we were one of the few Floyd tribute bands to tour outside the UK.
“In fact, we were one of the first bands to play in Russia, we toured Portugal and performed in front of a crowd of over 10,000 in Lisbon so we’re no strangers to big audiences.”
Talking about the shows, Stella explains: “We try to put on a really dynamic performance rather than simply playing the songs.
The beauty of Pink Floyd’s music is the freedom it gives to express yourself on stage and the result is a constantly changing performance which has gone down really well with crowds from Japan to Southport and from the Netherlands to Folkestone.
Most recently we have been thrilled to include children from the local area to sing with us during the song, ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ which really gives the song an authentic feel now.”
