Welcome to the machine
2024 brings our new show, 'Wish You Were Here'
We'll be playing the album in its entirety, including the rarely played Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts 6-9. We are a band of passionate Pink Floyd fans playing for Floyd fans. We pride ourselves on daring to play the songs outside the usual greatest hits, and our theatre shows usually include a light show and projections that will transport you back to the glory days of Pink Floyd.

It will be an intimate gig at the Winnersh Royal British legion and we are really looking forward to it. We played here a couple of years ago and the crowd were fantastic so we cant wait! Pop over to the Live page for tickets.
East Grinstead, Chequer Mead Theatre
October 21st 2022 brings us to East Grinstead, Chequer Mead Theatre and our penultimate performance of this current show. We've thoroughly enjoyed playing 'Animals' in its entirety, something that you don't get to see very often. We'll miss Bernie, our inflatable pig that made an appearance at most of our shows, hopefully he'll be at some of our future shows, I'll never get tired of playing 'Pigs - 3 different ones'

Thank you Wokingham!
We had the pleasure of play for the Wokingham Music Club in Winnersh on the 14th January and wow... what an audience! This gig was a bit more intimate than we are used to but those guys gave us a very warm welcome! There were some hardcore fans who new all the words to Animals and we all had an absolute blast! Thank you Wokingham!

Live stream from the Madejski!
It's been a strange year with most of our gigs having been cancelled. So we have decided to live stream a show on the 13th December at 5pm from the Madejski stadium Princess suite. This is in aid of Launchpad Reading, a wonderful charity helping those in need. These guys do a lot of work to help the homeless of Reading, Berkshire, it's vital work and we are honoured to be able to help. There is no charge for the show but you can donate to Launchpad Reading if you would like to. There will be a link on the streaming page. Click the link below to watch!
In December 2020 , during lockdown 2.0, we teamed up with Launchpad, Reading's leading homelessness prevention charity and performed our 'Great Pig in the Sky' show in the ITV suite at Madjeski stadium in Reading. As this was in the middle of the Covid pandemic audiences were not permitted and most of our shows had been cancelled. This show enabled us to perform and raise money, via live donations during the show for the wonderful Launchpad at a time when they needed all the help they could get. Our thanks go to everyone involved that made this challenging show work. Here's some snippets from that show.
