Australia's own Echoes of Pink Floyd is marking the diamond anniversary of the iconic British rock band Pink Floyd's inception with a brand-new concert, coming to the Wangaratta Performing Arts and Convention Centre on Saturday, 7 February at 8pm. Pink Floyd left an indelible mark on the world, inspiring generations with their ground-breaking soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics. Echoes of Pink Floyd will take audiences on a mesmerizing journey through six decades of Pink Floyd's unparalleled musical legacy, from the psychedelic sounds of the 1960s, to the pioneering progressive rock masterpieces and stadium-shaking anthems of their later years. Among the many hits audiences can expect to hear are Money, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Time, Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, Echoes, Dogs and Another Brick in the Wall. It's a show for fans and for the generations who never had the opportunity to enjoy the full-blown sensory experience of Pink Floyd live, capturing their energy, essence and musical mastery. Echoes of Pink Floyd are considered Australia’s foremost tribute dedicated to honouring the legendary band's monumental achievements, receiving acclaim since they began in 2009. The line-up boasts seasoned musicians and ardent Pink Floyd enthusiasts Daniel Hunter (lead guitar), Jason Miller (drums and vocals), Paul Bindig (keyboards), Mark MacNab (rhythm and acoustic guitar), Matt Goodluck (vocals), Will Byrne (bass and vocals), Daniel Modica (keyboard and saxophone) and Bree Gregory, Rossella Fanelli and Montana Sharp (backing vocals).
