A collection of great Floyd songs at the Opera House
A LIMITED number of tickets remain available for ‘Breathe – The Pink Floyd Experience’, which will bring their ‘Wish You Were Here’ tour to the Cork Opera House on Friday night.
The more that two-hour show will feature a live performance of Pink Floyd’s iconic 1975 album ‘Wish You Were Here’ and a set-list of tracks from other classic albums from 1967’s ‘Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ through to and including 1994’s ‘ The Division Bell’.
These will include ‘Arnold Layne’, ‘Another Brick in the Wall’, ‘Money’, ‘Pigs’, ‘Comfortably Numb’ the roof raising ‘Run Like Hell’ and many other tracks that will be instantly recognisable to Floyd fans.
In addition to note-perfect renditions of classic tracks, the show is also a visual tribute to the original band complete with typically Floydian visuals (including the iconic circular 15ft ‘Pink Floyd’ screen and stunning light show.
Combined into one single package, these faithfully recreate the vision, sound and electric atmosphere one of Pink Floyd’s legendary live performances.
The eight-piece band is comprised of some of Ireland’s finest sessions musicians who have played with a virtual ‘who’s who’ of the Irish music industry including Sinead O’Connor, Clannad, Gavin Friday, Jack L, Brian Kennedy, Rebecca Storm, Lesley Garrett, The Irish Tenors, The RTE Concert Orchestra, Brian Downey and Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy).
What draws them together is a passion for Pink Floyd’s music, that each live show is an enthralling psychedelic rock trip memory lane that fans of the original band will not want to miss.
