Snibston is hosting an unforgettable evening of sound and light for fans of Pink Floyd.
The Floyd Effect tribute act promises to take people on a journey from Grantchester Meadows to the Dark Side of the Moon.
The band’s seven-piece tribute show spans four decades of material, including much-loved tracks from seminal albums including Wish You Were Here, Animals, Atom Heart Mother, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, and the Division Bell. The show concludes with a complete performance of Pink Floyd’s most popular piece - Dark Side of the Moon.
The band will be performing at Snibston’s Century Theatre, in Coalville, on Saturday, 17 January, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £12.50 in advance, or £15.00 on the door. Call the box office on 01530 278444.
Reviews of The Floyd Effect:
- “…every detail is lovingly recreated” (Churchill College, Cambridge)
- “…quite simply superb” (Fisher Theatre, Bungay)
- “...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...” (Playhouse, Norwich)
Snibston is offering free child entry to the museum from 27 to 31 December, with only a small charge for any activities. Snibston will be closed from January 1 to 16 for essential maintenance and training and will re-open on Saturday January 17.
For more information and to pre-book the activities please contact Snibston on 01530 278 444 or email Snibston@leics.gov.uk
