The English band, which began in the psychedelic late 60s, still stirs emotions for fans across the world and Echoes Of Pink Floyd – Australia’s largest Pink Floyd concept show – is bringing the Pink Floyd concert experience to Wangaratta and Wodonga during June.

The two-hour show is complete with spectacular lights and video, synonymous with Pink Floyd concerts.

“I think when somebody comes to see a band that’s performing other people’s material … they want to come and hear what they know,” says Matt Goodluck who performs with Adelaide-based act Echoes Of Pink Floyd.

“Most of us in the band were all pretty much on the same page in that.

‘We really pay a lot of attention to the detail, nailing the exact sounds from the albums and the exact song structures.

“I think that’s why people love coming to see us because it really takes them back to a certain time, that music might have been important to them or when they discovered that music, because we do it so faithfully.”

The tour also celebrates 50 years since Pink Floyd released their first album and will play a selection of Pink Floyd’s greatest hits that spans the band’s momentous career, including “a big chunk of material” from the iconic 1979 double concept album The Wall which features the band’s only international number one song Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2.

“Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2 is such an iconic song and really what helps to make the song is the children’s choir that was used on it,” Goodluck says.

“We decided it would be a good idea to use local schools or local choirs from the different towns we play in.

“It’s a really good way to involve part of the community, and it exposes a lot of young kids to some great music that they may not have been familiar with as well.”

The Northern Rivers Academy of Music will provide the choir for the June 2 Wangaratta show and Wodonga’s choir is to be locked in soon.
