When asked about the new endorsee relationship with Paul, Chris said; "I believe that all business dealings, large and small are about relationships. Having gotten to know Paul over the past year (and his Bandmates), I am happy to call him a friend, and not just a business partner. We are in this together, and I am more than proud to be affiliated with Paul and "The Australian Pink Floyd Show." This is truly a unique combination of History, Talent, design, and dedication. I feel like a pioneer of sorts.......... to be a part of this timeless music in a contemporary format, is without question, an honor."

The final few deals are being agreed for the tour, and as soon as they come through we will be able to publish them here on the tourdates page of this website.

A huge thankyou to everybody who made it to our 4 UK summer shows. Each one had a really special vibe all of it's own.
The two Liverpool Summer Pops shows yet again proved loud and clear that UK Floyd fans know every note and every word of every song!!! We experienced probably the loudest singers that we've ever had at our shows - and as Steve Mac said "it would be great to take that audience around with us to every gig"!
Beaulieu had that great outdoor feel that we fealt last year. It's pretty special playing as the sun goes down, and for a band that plays most of it's shows indoors, it leaves a lasting impression for sure.
Last saturdays London ExCel show gave us the chance to combine a look around the Motor Show with a 2 hour gig. Rarely for us we were restricted to a 1 set show and were given strict instructions to finish at 11pm sharp. It was a bit of a lottery whether that would be the case by the end, but with a bit of setlist tweaking, we walked off at EXACTLY 23:00 hours!!! (and to a beaming Harvey Goldsmith!)
Thanks again from all at TAPFS.

Here is the Sony/BMG press release for Australia

ON AN ISLAND -The new album from David Gilmour
Release date: 11 March 2006
SONY BMG Australia

On An Island is the third David Gilmour album and his first studio recording since Pink Floyd’s 1994 multi-platinum ‘The Division Bell’. From the first moments of the sound collage that begins ‘On An Island’, you know it’s a special experience that not only bears comparison with the best of Pink Floyd, but also confirms their lead guitarist and singer as an outstanding solo artist. Here he reveals a personal vision and a breadth of styles – folk, jazz, orchestral and rock – brought together as a unified piece by his lyrical guitar playing and instantly recognisable voice.

With orchestrations by the renowned Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner and a luminous production (assisted by Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera), there is virtuosity a plenty. Crosby and Nash sing harmonies, Robert Wyatt plays the cornet, Caroline Dale the cello and Alasdair Molloy the glass harmonica. Pink Floyd’s Richard Wright guests on Hammond organ, while Gilmour sweeps and soars with his often soul-piercing guitar and vocals. Yet the album never becomes grandiose. At its heart, it remains a reflective piece, not least because of the lyrics.

Although Gilmour takes some writing credits, most go to writer Polly Samson, continuing a collaborative partnership that began with The Division Bell. The songs tell of shared experiences that evoke a breadth of moods, from the hauntingly beautiful title track ‘On An Island’ (with a guitar performance set to enter the Gilmour canon of classics) to the meditative ‘The Blue’ and ‘A Pocketful of Stones’, as well as the heavier rock and blues numbers ‘Take A Breath’ and ‘This Heaven’. In the spirit of intimacy, this album sees Gilmour’s debut on the saxophone, as well as contributions by contemporaries from his pre-Floyd days.

On An Island is a collection of songs and instrumentals that had its genus in the critically acclaimed 2002 London Festival Hall concerts. Gilmour has stepped out of his super-group to discover he’s still at his peak - and he’s rightly pleased. ‘It’s my best and most personal work,’ he says. ‘Making it with my musician friends has been a positive experience on so many levels.’ And touring it this spring can only take him to a new high.

This months GUITARIST magazine features 60 years of Fender guitars. David Gilmour comes out as number 1 Fender guitar player, as voted by the (obviously very discerning) readers, and our very own Steve Mac has some interesting things to say about his love of DG's playing and some insights into David's playing technique.
Steve should know, after 20 + years of study!!! Get your copy from all good magazine retailers now!

Firstly a big big thankyou to everybody in North America who once again made us all feel so welcome. Our 3rd full tour was a fantastic success which we are already planning to follow up in 2006.

To everybody across the globe who came out to support us this past year, we wish you all a happy, healthy and safe Christmas - we'll see you all in the New Year!

G'day,
Due to a power failure last weekend our Online Store is still offline.

Our Web team are working to get this resolved as soon as possible, and we will be up and running again as soon as possible.

UPDATE: The online store is now open again, sorry for the increased delay.

THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW Arena Tour 2006
The Best of Pink Floyd - LIVE!
‘One of the best live rock shows you will ever see…’ LA TIMES

After last year’s triumphant debut tour of UK Arenas, THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW roller-coaster returns to these shores in the spring of 2006.

Having toured all over Europe, North and South America over the past 12 months, this spectacular two and a half hour show is now established around the world as one the definitive concerts for live music audiences, with Floyd fans of all ages embracing the staggering note-for-note perfection of the music and the incredible state-of-the art sound & lights production, including lasers and inflatables; it is truly the genuine reincarnation of the Floyd live experience, in all its magnificence.

With interest in Pink Floyd back at fever-pitch after Live 8, there’s no better way for fans to witness this ‘spectacle worthy of the Floyd legacy’ (Montreal Gazette). Floyd Guitarist David Gilmour is a fan himself, having seen the show three times, the last time at a sold out London Royal Albert Hall.

David Gilmour features on the cover of the December issue of 'Guitar' Magazine.

The article, 'Sixty reasons why you should love Pink Floyd's legendary guitarmeister' includes reason 24:
'He's quite partial to a Floyd tribute band, and once reserved a box to see the "jolly entertaining" Australian Pink Floyd at Croydon's Fairfield Halls. He even went on to book them for his 50th birthday party. "I've never seen Pink Floyd, you see. So it's great to me to see that.'

The magazine is in the shops now - don't miss it!

Aussie Floyds very own Sax player, Mike Kidson appeared on stage at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam, Oct 11th 2005,
with Dream Theater for a performance of 'The Darkside of the Moon'.
The full story + the inside info from Mike is on our Forum now! Check it out!

Click here to read the forum thread.

G'day,
Just to let you all know, we've just announced the dates for our North American tour, which starts on November 2nd in Youngstown Ohio, and goes on until December 16th at the Moncton Coliseum Complex in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Many thanks for all your support and we hope to see you during November and December.


Back by popular demand!

THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW

North American Tour - November / December 2005

Biggest sound and light show to date including original Floyd inflatables

Seen by over 500,000 fans worldwide

One of the best live rock shows you will ever see...

The Australian Pink Floyd Show is back in the USA by popular demand this Fall following it's hugely successful 2004 tours.

Performing a spell binding set with their biggest sound and lights show to date including lasers and original Floyd inflatables, and a number of Pink Floyd's own sound and lights crew the production will explore every facet of Floyd's long and diverse career.

The show is a phenomenon. Having now established itself around the world, The Australian Pink Floyd Show has become one of the definitive concerts for live music audiences, with Floyd fans of all ages embracing this spectacular two and a half hour show.

Since the performance of Pink Floyd at Live 8, London in July interest in The Australian Pink Floyd Show has further increased, selling thousands of tickets in Europe this summer. Their sell out show in Malta sold over 15,000 tickets!

The ultimate endorsement comes from David Gilmour, Pink Floyd's guitarist, a fan himself, having seen The Australian Pink Floyd Show three times. He joined thousands of fans in London at the famous Royal Albert Hall for what was described as "a show that truly embraces the Floyd legacy".

The live show, including the stunning recreation of Pink Floyd's landmark tracks such as 'Another Brick in the Wall', 'Comfortably Numb', 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and many, many more, will have audiences expressing their joy at experiencing again this magnificent music performed Live on such a scale.

Floyd fans who haven't yet witnessed the show are seriously missing out...

G'day,
We can confirm that we will be touring throughout November and half of December in USA and Canada with the full tour to be confirmed very soon.

In the meantime we've added some more mp3 files to our audio downloads page, enjoy.

The rain couldn't dampen the spirits of the audience at The Rock & Blues Festival on Saturday. Warmed up by Thunder (the band, not the weather!), the crowd stayed riveted to the spot for The Aussie Floyds 2 Hour set. A big thanks from the band to everybody there for the fantastic reception.

The capacity audience at Beauliea were treated to a performance of The Darkside Of The Moon in it's entirety on Sunday night. Starting the show in full daylight the Aussies played a faultless rendition of this classic album as the sun went down over the New Forest.
Earlier bad weather had threatened to spoil the show, and even as showtime approached the lighting and sound crew were fixing waterproof covers to the stage equipment. The rain held off throughout the full show until the last few chords of 'Run Like Hell' before the skies opened up! Torrential rain followed!!!

Check out the photos just added to our Gallery page of the two Liverpool Summer Pops shows.

A huge thankyou to everybody who came along to the two concerts in Liverpool.

Once again the amazing spirit of the audience helped to lift these two shows to become memorable experiences for everybody there - band included.

Friday nights performance of 'Wish You Were Here' was met with an enthusiastic response from the capacity audience, joining in the vocal of most of the tracks reaching their peak during the title track of this popular Floyd classic.

Saturday night witnessed the first time the band had ever played 'Animals' in it's entirety. The atmosphere was simply electric as the band played through the tracks that make up this incredible album. Again the capacity audience sang their hearts out as only a Liverpool Summer Pops crowd can!

For the first time ever, The Australian Pink Floyd Show will play back to back performances of WISH YOU WERE HERE and ANIMALS, plus the the best of Floyd live, at the CENTRAL DOCKS BIG TOP ARENA, Liverpool, on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th July respectively.

The Friday show is now sold out, but an extra batch of tickets has been released for the Saturday show. Call the box office on 0870 151 400, or in person to the Central Docks Summer Pops box office.

STOP PRESS
It has now been confirmed that the original 65-foot inflatable teacher used by Roger Waters at the Berlin Wall concert in 1990 will be on show outside the Big Top by special permission. There will also be new inflatables used by Pink Floyd themselves.

Rehearsals for the Summer Pops shows this weekend have been smooth if not slightly warm!!! (For those overseas, The UK is experiencing a heat wave at the moment!!!)

Friday will see TAPFS perform 'Wish You Were Here' in it's entirety, and Saturday will be the First time TAPFS have EVER performed the complete 'Animals' album. The second set on both nights will be a long set of the best of Pink Floyd, and will be different each night.

Limited tickets available for Saturday night only!

There's not long to go before PINK FLOYD hit the stage at the Live 8 concert in Londons Hyde Park.
In the same spirit that has brought Pink Floyd back together today, we hope that you have added your name to the Live 8 petition.

We've just added photos from all our recent South American shows, and from the hugely successful show in Malta.
Check them out in the Photo Gallery now!

G'day,
We'd like to thank all those that attended our gig at the Luxol ground in Malta on Saturday night.

Also I thought we'd link to a review of the show from The Times, Maltese edition. Here's a quote...

It was a peculiar crowd for a rock concert. There were the ubiquitous denim and leather clad rockers, youths in the latest designer wear and hundreds of former hippies, now with greying hair.

Yet the loud applause at the end proved that The Australian Pink Floyd had managed to recapture to perfection the musical skills and stage theatrics of the band that influenced generations.

G'day,
Pontypool-based fan Terry Escott has been announced as the lucky winner who will travel to Chicago to watch the show and hang out backstage with the band this Autumn. He saw the show at the Cardiff CIA in April and his e-mail address was plucked at random from the thousands of entries received throughout the Arena 05 Tour. Thank you all for responding so fantastically to the competition!

Terry, who said he will be taking his 12-year old son David with him, said:
"He's more of a fan than me even, and that's saying something. He's been coming to the shows with me since he was nine, and we're both totally excited. The chance to see the real band again in Chicago is fantastic. The bit where they play 'Skippy' is awesome. Forget any tribute group that may have formed to play for Sir Bob!! Skippy is great, the lighting is spot on and the sound is totally fantastic. The fact that the band members actually enjoy playing the music shows through with a show that is much much more than just a gig. Thanks so much."

The winners of the five pairs of backstage passes for each of the two Liverpool shows will be announced next week.

Well it seems it's official! - If you haven't already heard, PINK FLOYD will perform at the Live 8 concert in London on July 2nd 2005 WITH Roger Waters!!!
A contact from Nick Masons office has confirmed to us that the Live 8 appearance will indeed include David, Nick, Rick & Roger together again!!!!!!
The Aussie Floyd, currently on tour in South America are, like all Floyd fans, over the moon about the news.

The Mexico City & Buenos Aires shows have been received with great enthusiasm by the thousands of South American Pink Floyd fans in attendance.
Anticipation has been high for these shows and the fans have not been disappointed!
Look out for photos in our Photo Gallery page soon!

THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW
Friday 15th July: WISH YOU WERE HERE - The Concert Saturday 16th July: ANIMALS - The Concert
Tickets: £20 £17.50 (A limited number of higher priced Gold Circle seats available)

THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW, one of the hottest sell-outs at last year's Pops, have announced they are to make a return for this year's event to perform TWO brand new shows on consecutive nights - and The Liverpool Echo is giving away a free Live CD of both these actual shows to every ticket holder!

Fresh from performing in Arenas in the USA, mainland Europe and in the UK, The Australian Pink Floyd Show will play in the Big Top Arena alongside the ever-growing parade of star names lined up for the Pops: Diana Ross, Will Young, Meat Loaf, Brian Wilson, Ronan Keating, Andy Williams, Status Quo and Jools Holland. More announcements will be made in the coming weeks as the final line-up is secured!

After the success of last year's Pops, the band will perform two new shows.
On Friday 15th July, for the first time and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release, they will perform landmark 1975 album 'Wish You Were Here' in full. On Saturday 16th July, in another first, they perform Floyd's seminal 1977 album 'Animals' in its entirety. On both nights, they will also be playing a greatest hits package.

Speaking from the band's office in Adelaide, singer Steve Mac said:
'Liverpool has always been a very special place for us. You couldn't get a ticket for love nor money last year and the atmosphere at the Big Top was unbelievable. You guys were singing louder than we were! When it comes to appreciating Floyd, there's nowhere in the world like Liverpool and there could be no better place to try out both of these new shows. We can't wait to get back.'

The Pops are organised by Chas Cole for CMP Entertainment in association with Liverpool City Council.

Mike Storey, Leader of Liverpool City Council, said: "The Liverpool Pops continue to get bigger and better, attracting fantastic bands from across the globe. And the acts who play here get such a fantastic response from Liverpool audiences, they can't wait to come back again. I'm delighted the Australian Pink Floyd are returning to the city - they were a huge hit at last year's Pops, and are yet another great addition to this year's exciting line-up."

Chas Cole said: "I am delighted that the band has agreed to play two nights because the support they've received from the Pops public in the past has been absolutely fantastic. These should be another two very special nights!"

We'd like to confirm that the band will be playing at this years Summer Pops festival on July 17th, at the Liverpool Kings Dock Arena.

What's really special is, this show is being recorded for a global DVD release later this year.

Every ticket holder will be entitled to a FREE copy of the DVD on it's release. All you have to do is hang on to your ticket and collect the specially printed token in the Liverlpool Echo on July 18th, which will be next to the review of the show, and send it off
to the address given.

G'day,
Just to let you all know we've posted a load of pictures in the online Gallery from the recent North American tour.

Hop over to the Gallery pages and check them out. We hope you like them.

Just a quick update on the North American tour so far. All venues are selling fast and the shows so far have all been near capacity, or sold out. The largest attendance so far has been in Montreal where the aussies played to over 5,500 very enthusiastic canadians at the Bell Centre Ice hockey stadium.
We are receiving many very supportive emails daily from our new North American fans, and urge you to all spread the word on our web forum - if you've seen us recently get on the forum and tell others about the show!

The Australian Pink Floyd show will perform more shows on the current 'DARKSIDE OF THE MOON' tour in the USA & Canada between 10th March and 4th of April 2004. The band can't wait as anticipation for the shows is already said to be reaching fever pitch amongst American & Canadian Floyd fans, many of whom have already been in contact with the APFS via email.

G'day,
Just to let you all know that we have a new Photo Gallery Page. As well as having some new pictures from the current tour, we've changed the way it works.

Pop over and check it out.

The Aussies announce more dates on the ongoing ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ tour for April/May 2004, kicking off with one show in Copenhagen and a comprehensive 22 date tour of Germany.
This comes as a result of months of negotiations between the APF’s agents, CMP, and the cream of Europe’s live music promoters and press – 12 of whom were guests at the recent Royal Albert Hall show.
All dates can be found on the Tour Dates page.

Steve Mac & Damian Darlington of the APF, feature in the current January 2004 edition of ‘Guitar’ magazine.
The guitarists ‘spill all’ in a 6 page ‘techniques Workshop’, which covers all aspects of recreating that ‘Gilmour Sound’.
Notes, chords & gear setups are covered which should be of particular interest to all those guitarists out there.
It’s in the stores now!

Unfortunately, due to continuing health problems within the band, we have had to postpone gigs at Northampton, Bournemouth and Guildford this week. A decision was taken, largely on the advice of Steve's throat specialist, but also so as not to do any 'sub standard' performances to rechedule these shows. Northampton will now be held on Jan 20th, Bournemouth on Jan 17th and Guildford on Dec 4th.The rest of the tour should remain unaffected and resumes at Bristol Colston Hall this saturday Nov 8th.Our sincere apologies to all affected by these changes.

We were all very saddened to hear of the passing of Pink Floyd's manager Steve O'Rourke. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and all involved in the Pink Floyd/EMKA organisation.

THE AUSTRALIAN PINK FLOYD SHOW have unfortunately been forced to postpone two shows on their Dark Side of The Moon 30th Anniversary Tour after lead guitarist and singer Steve Mac contracted a throat infection and is unable to sing.

The concerts booked at Salisbury City Hall on Friday October 10th and Northampton Derngate Theatre on Saturday October 11th, have been rescheduled for November 5th (Northampton) and January 24th (Salisbury). Tickets for the original dates will be valid for the new dates, but customers wishing for a refund should contact their original point of sale.

Steve Mac said today: "This is a massive disappointment to me but I would rather postpone the shows than not have the band perform to their maximum ability."

The Dark Side of The Moon 30th Anniversary Tour, already getting rave reviews, carries on as planned on Thursday October 16th at Dartford Orchard Theatre and at 50 other venues across the UK and Ireland until March 2004.

G'day,
Tonights gig in Salisbury at the City Hall has been postponed until 24th January 2004.

This is due to ill health within the band.

Our largest tour to date has just been added to the Tour Dates page and sees us covering even more ground than usual! As many of you may already have heard we plan to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of 'The Dark Side Of The Moon', by performing the album in it's entirety as the second half of our usual 2 hours plus show. Rehersals for this tour are currently underway at a secret UK location!

The first of the upcoming 2003 Winter Tour Dates have just been announced and can be found on the 'Tour Dates' page. More coming soon!!!

G'day,
Contrary to rumours flying around recently we won't be playing Dark Side of the Moon set at the up coming Summer Pops festival, but we are planning on playing it on our up and coming Autumn/Winter Tour.

Unfortunately the Summer Solstice Festival on 21/06/03 which was to be held in county Durham, and was to feature the Aussie Floyd, has been cancelled by the organisers.

We are unaware at this stage of any official reason for this, and can only pass on our sincere apologies to everyone who contacted us regarding this show.

The next opportunity to get your Aussie Floyd fix is the Liverpool Summer Pops on July 13th.

See tourdates page for more info on this!

G'day,

G'day,
I'd like to wish all our fans a happy New Year and that we hope 2003 will be at least as prosperous as 2002 for you.

I'd also like to congratulate Colin and Wendy who tied the knot on the 31st of December 2002.

Congratulations to you both and I hope the future holds great successes for you.

G'day,
Just to let you know, we've added thirty new photos to the gallery.

These photos were taken at various venues during the current tour. Enjoy.

We've been lucky to have the services of Simone and Zoe on a few shows this tour, and response to them and the two new songs in the set have been good. This is however only a semi-permanent arrangement at this time, and they will only be available for some shows! We're sure that the other 2+ hours of Floyd classics that we are performing will more than make up for the shows that they are absent!

Anyone who has been along to an APF show recently will have noticed the new projections and circular screen. We've chosen in the past to shy away from using the classic circular screen behind us on stage, until we could do it justice - and now we can!!! Thanks to American CG artist Bryan Kolupski, we now have computer animations for a number of songs in the set, and plans are underway to increase on this. Bryan has been very generous with his work, and I'm sure will be happy to know that the Aussie Floyd fans are thrilled with the results - as are all the band and crew. Bryan can be contacted through his own website at http://www.bk1productions.com

A new book about Syd Barrett written by Tim Willis, is soon to be released, and we were lucky enough to meet Tim at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on 5/10/02. Tim was on hand for a book signing at the venue and will be doing the same at the Cheltenham Town Hall when we play there on November 15th. We are now reading the book, and Tim has obviously done extensive research, and has spoken first hand to many of Syd?s closest associates, including David Gilmour. He certainly has some very interesting tales to tell, so we recommend you get yourself a copy. If you would like to know how to get an autographed copy of the book, for £12.95, please email us here and we?ll pass it on to Tim.

G'day,
We've added some new photos, taken at the Fort Regent in Jersey on Friday night from the first gig of the new tour over on the Photo Gallery page.

G'day,

A huge thankyou to everybody who made it to the Royal Albert Hall on monday night. The atmosphere in the hall was electric from start to finish, and the near capacity audience were very appreciative giving a standing ovation at the end of the show! One of the highlights of the night were the kids from the Islington Green School Choir. They sung their hearts out to 'Another Brick In the Wall (pt.2)'; the first time the School has been reconnected with the music of Pink Floyd since they originally sang on the No.1 record in 1979!
Talks are already underway for an Aussie Floyd return to the hall next year! Watch this space...

The Aussie Floyd are currently involved in the production of a television documentary focusing on the Tribute Band phenomena of the past decade. Interviews and filming are being done at the Warwick Arts Centre on thursday and the documentary should hopefully be aired in 2002. Watch this space for further info...

A really special atmosphere is anticipated for the Royal Albert Hall show this monday 26th of November. With fans travelling from all over the UK & Europe, and with a couple of extra special events taking place (see news item below) the show will be remembered for some time to come, so don't miss out!
Also, look out for the bands new mascot in the foyer - it's 7 1/2 feet tall and very pink!

It still ranks as one of pop music¹s most historic moments. A bunch of
school kids from London shooting to No. 1 in the charts with Pink Floyd singing the immortal lines: "We don¹t need no education, we don¹t need no thought control!"
Now history is about to repeat itself. Almost 22 years after "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) " was the Christmas No.1, and for the first time since, the children of Islington Green School, North London, will again sing with Floyd - only this time it¹s on stage with the Australian Pink Floyd Show, live at The Royal Albert Hall on Monday November 26!
The Head teacher at Islington School is Marion Parsons: "It¹s going to be a lot of fun. The Pink Floyd video put our school on the map and made us famous the world over with their fans, so it¹s a thrill to do it all over again."

The Royal Albert Hall is set to be a memorable occassion for all Pink Floyd & Aussie Pink Floyd fans so get your tickets now if you haven't already!

We've added some more mp3 files to the Media Page, head over and have a listen.

Six December dates have been added to the 2001 Winter tour. The full tour, complete with box office numbers can be found on the Tour Dates page of this website. See you at a gig soon!

For all of you who can't wait to see us, or for those who can't get to a show, we have now added a new 'Media' page. You'll find a few songs, and a couple of video clips to download! The recordings are from various times over the last few years, and are 100% un-edited Australian Pink Floyd. Enjoy!

Three new dates have been added to the upcoming Winter 2001 tour - all are in November and are: 9th Bradford St. Georges, 12th Grimsby Auditorium & 15th Felixstowe Spa Pavilion. Full details on the Tour Dates page. December tour dates are coming soon!
