The members come from various professional musical backgrounds and jumped at the opportunity to recreate not just the music, but also the atmospheric live performances of one of the world's most enduring rock bands, the legendary Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd made their name through their captivating stage performances, and so it goes without saying that their music can only be fully appreciated live. There is something enthralling about Pink Floyd's music that has seen a host of live acts try to recreate their sound and style. Welcome to the Machine pays homage to this unique art through the outstanding vocals, keyboards and guitars that are synonymous with the Pink Floydian sound. Welcome to the Machine strives to bring you the absolute best show possible. Included in their play list are all the Floyd favourites going way back to the early 70's. All songs played by Welcome to the Machine come from 'Meddle' (1971), 'Dark Side Of The Moon' (1973), 'Wish You Where Here' (1975), 'Animals' (1977), 'The Wall' (1979), 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' (1987), "Division Bell' (1994) and there's more to come. Welcome to the Machine is a live concert tribute to the music of Pink Floyd ... the sounds, the lights, the experience. Whether you are new to Pink Floyd music, or wish to reminisce about the legacy of the greatest rock band of all time, Welcome to the Machine is an experience not to be missed. -------o0o-------
