Think Floyd is a tribute band who have spent more than 30 years performing not just a show, but a musical experience.
The band, which is regarded as one of the UK’s best Pink Floyd tributes, recreate the atmosphere and visuals of the iconic 1960s group.
Lewis Hall, Richard Morse, Steven Simmonds and Anthony Shields make up the impressive tribute, which tours the UK and performs internationally at festivals.
Next month, they’ll head to Parr Hall as part of their latest UK tour, performing two of Pink Floyd’s most iconic albums – The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.

Alongside the music will be an immersive light show, elevating the concert into a audio-visual experience.
“Tribute bands have had a bit of a bad reputation over the years,” said Lewis, who plays bass.
“You’ve got people who are putting on wigs and dressing up, trying to be the characters of the bands.
“But with Pink Floyd it was all about the music and their light shows.
“So, we don’t try and be the members of the band, we just play as ourselves and let the music and the lights do the talking.”
The show will see the tribute band perform the two albums in their entirety, attempting to recreate them as accurately as possible.
“There’s a lot of fans who come to see us and take the music very seriously,” said Lewis.
“I think what sets us apart from other shows out there is that we try and recreate the album as closely as possible.
“There are other shows out there that perhaps do their own interpretation of the songs or live versions.
“But as far as we’re concerned it’s the original records that are the masterpieces as we try and recreate them note for note.”
Think Floyd will be heading to Parr Hall on March 8, and tickets can be bought via parrhall.culturewarrington.org/whats-on/think-floyd/ or the box office on 442345.
