Professionals

Pyrford & District Social Club on Sat 23rd Aug 08

The Floyd Effect were without any doubt the best tribute band we have seen.

A full 2 set evening covering some of Pink Floyd's greatest work, Wish You were Here, Fat Old Sun, Comfortably Numb, and taking us through the second set one of the best albums of all time, Dark Side Of The Moon. The music and vocals were perfection. All are remarkable and totally dedicated professionals, they came, they conquered and they delivered with perfection. A true tribute.

Come back soon.

Exceptionally High Class

Pyrford & District Social Club on Sat 23rd Aug 08

The Floyd Effect are one of the very top Floyd tribute bands.

From the first note of their opening track, Shine on You Crazy Diamond, right through to the last on the encore, they were exceptionally high class. From the dedication and perfection of their sound check they played a first set covering Fat Old Sun, Sheep, Another Brick In The Wall and Sorrow, to name a few, then on to a second set taken from the timeless Dark Side Of The Moon. All these complimented by first class vocals and musicianship.

For you guys it's not a long journey to the top, and I will be there to see you.

The Right Effect

Pyrford & District Social Club on Sat 23rd Aug 08

There are a great many Pink Floyd tribute bands gigging around the UK at the moment. Quite a few of them are full of competent musicians playing the right notes. But where the Floyd Effect score highly is that they also manage to capture the feel of the songs.

Usually the band play theatres so last night's gig at Pyrford & District Social Club was a rare chance to catch them in an intimate venue. They certainly gave value for money: two long sets covering much of the Floyd's extensive back catalogue. The band delivered the expected greatest hits package including songs such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Another Brick In The Wall, Wish You Were and Comfortably Numb, but also threw in some more unusual material such as Fat Old Sun and Sheep. Among the more recent Floyd tracks, Sorrow was a particular highlight. The crowd - many of whom I suspect were not regular Floyd tribute fans - seemed delighted.

If you're looking for a Floyd tribute, the Floyd Effect are not to be missed.

Superb!

Norwich Playhouse, Norwich on Thu 1st May 08

Fantastic! Can't believe I only paid £12 to see such a great tribute band, they were spot on. It's clear to see that they have paid every attention to detail, their musical ability is second to none and they deserve the credibility that goes with that kind of territory.

Simply Stunning

Norwich Playhouse, Norwich on Thu 1st May 08

I have seen quite a few of the Floyd Tributes now, but I must agree with the previous reviewer, I can see these guys heading rapidly to the top of the tribute tree, fantastic show. A must see for any Pink Floyd fan, they don't just play the tunes, unlike most of the other floyd tribs these guys actually sound like Pink Floyd, amazing vocals on in the flesh in particular, I thought old rog himself had entered the room, excellent stuff, great atmosphere, I will definitely see them again, looks like those aussie boys have got some serious competition here. I was a little surprised at the lack of projections (maybe due to the venue), but it still it did not detract from what was a great evening, cheers Floyd Effect - shine on and come back to Norwich soon.

Tribute heaven!

Norwich Playhouse, Norwich on Thu 1st May 08:

The Floyd Effect were on at the Norwich playhouse on the 1st of may 2008, what a way to start a new month, they were absolutely fantastic, technically tight, it was plain too see they have paid every attention to detail as every good tribute band should, hats off to these brave men and women to take on such a mammoth task and actually pull it off with what seemed like remarkable ease and obvious enjoyment unlike so many other Floyd tribute bands out there! There obvious love of everything Floyd comes through with every song to a point where your hairs stand up on the back of your neck! I predict this band will go on to the top of tribute tree!
