Hot venue with an even hotter band Riga Music Bar, Westcliff-on-Sea on Sat 26th Jun 10

Haven't seen this lot for a while but thought I'd look in on them again. What a difference a few months can make! Now an 8 piece rather than 7 with a dedicated sax player. Projections and light show were also improved. The venue was hot and stuffy but who cares... The band were even hotter! Lead guitarist was fab and if you closed your eyes you would have sworn it was Dave himself up there. My fave track of the night was Money - GREAT. Better than Floyd themselves when they played live at times. These guys are going from strength to strength. Wish petrol was a bit cheaper, otherwise I'd be following them round the country! Come back soon!

Affected by The Floyd Effect Solihull Arts Centre, Solihull on Sat 8th May 10

My wife and I went to the gig on Saturday night and were treated to a great evening of entertainment. The Floyd Effect performed as a 7 piece and it was obvious there was some serious musical talent on display from the off.

In addition to the quality of the performers, the band also utilised a great light and laser show together with projected film just like Pink Floyd did when I saw them in 1995. In fact there were times during the gig where with eyes closed I could have been listening to Pink Floyd themselves.

First half of the gig saw the band playing well known tracks from the big selling albums. For me, Astronomy Domine and Sheep were standouts with the latter making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. One of These Days from the Meddle album was also excellent.

After the interval the band played Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety and it was a great performance true to the original album.

The end of the gig came with the band playing Comfortably Numb to by now a very enthusiastic audience, who insisted on an encore. We had been treated to nearly three hours of quality music performed by very good musicians who have created an excellent show worthy of seeing again and again.
Please come back to the Midlands soon.

Brilliant The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford on Sat 17th Apr 10

Went along not really knowing what we would get, (but only a short drive from my house so worth a punt at £15.00!).

I was only expecting a decent tribute act, but in view of the complexity of Floyd material wasn't really expecting anything mind blowing.

What I saw was a bit of a shock, an absolutely top-notch tribute act that were absolutely brilliant. The 'Floyd Effect' not only sound exactly like Floyd but have a pretty impressive light show too.

All the musicians/backing singers played a big part in recreating those tracks we all love and basically this gig was absolutely brilliant from beginning to end, particularly the recreation of Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.

Sad about the Floyd never going to play live again? Don't be, go and see the Floyd Effect!

Thanks for a great evening lads and lassies.

Floyd hit Dartford The Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford on Sat 17th Apr 10

It seems that almost anyone who can put a few chords together these days forms a PF tribute band. This is the third such band I've seen and I'm not going to knock the others 'cos they all have something to offer. TFE are a very professional outfit with a lead guitarist who mimics Dave Gilmore's playing very well and even sounds like him vocally.

Although it's not fair to pick out individuals, I thought the bass playing was exceptional and the backing vocalists add a rich, full sound. The Great Gig in the Sky was brilliant, but I particularly liked On the Turning Away. The showstopper is of course Comfortably Numb. Go see!
