Llangollen Town Hall rocks out to the sounds of ‘Pinc Ffloyd’

Llangollen Town Hall rocked out to the sounds of Welsh tribute band ‘Pinc Ffloyd’.

After the success of the first Live at Llangollen Town Hall gig that played tribute to ABBA in January month, last Saturday, psychedelic legends Pink Floyd received the tribute treatment.

The seven-piece band, who have not played in Llangollen since before pandemic, kicked off their two-set, ‘Welsh Pink Floyd Show’ with Breath, from Floyd’s 1973 album – The Dark Side of the Moon before running through classic Pink Floyd songs including Another Brick in The Wall, ‘The Happiest Days of Our Lives and The Great Gig in The Sky.

Saturday’s concert was one of several fundraising gigs at to help raise money to support the core Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.

There was a poignant moment close the end of the event, when the band dedicated their cover of Floyd’s 1975 anthem, ‘Wish You Were Here’, to organiser Keith Pott’s dad – Les, who passed away recently at the age of 92.

Keith Potts, who organised the event, said: “It was great to bring the Llangollen community together for another highly successful gig.

“Pinc Ffloyd were brilliant and surpassed our expectations.

“This was our latest event to raise money for our charity and we can’t wait to bring the Original Merseybeats to Llangollen on March 15.

“This event was run again by our volunteers and I’d like to thank them for their help.”

The “Live at Llangollen Town Hall’ gigs have been set up to raise money to help bring international competitors to Llangollen for its Core Eisteddfod.

The next gig will be on Saturday, March 15 when the Original Merseybeats come to town.”
