Performers confirmed so far:
Darkside http://www.ukdarkside.tk
U.K. Floyd tribute band Darkside will be bringing the event to a close with a lengthy selection of ''greatest hits'' and surprises focusing heavily on 70s period Floyd.
Darkside can be heard performing ''San Tropez'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 2: The Return of the Sons of Neptune'' C.D. set.
Us Not Them http://www.usnotthem.co.uk
One of the newest additions to the line up and another UK based tribute band. Us Not Them will be performing a selection of old and newer favourites.
Breathe http://www.breathefloyd.co.uk
Our newest addition to the lineup will be providing a selection of VERY big tunes form Floyd's 70's back catalogue.
Swedish Whistler
I am delighted to announce that Swedish Whistler have confirmed an appearance! They will be travelling all the way from Sweden to play at the show! These folks will be giving us a look back at the genius of Syd and more besides.
Swedish Whistler can be heard on ''None Of Us Is Pink'' performing ''Vegetable Man'' and can also be heard of ''Return of the Sons of Neptune'' performing ''Golden Hair''.
The Amber Herd
The Amber Herd will be bringing to life a breezy selection of ''post-Barrett'' - ''pre-Dark Side of the Moon'' acoustic numbers, and perhaps a little more. Vocalists and Guitarist Neil Beards can be seen around the NPF forum posting as ''Neil1567/2''.
The Amber Herd can be heard performing ''The Thin Ice'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 2: The Return of the Sons of Neptune'' C.D. set, and will be heard performing ''If'' on volume 3!
Fat Old Man & Guests http://www.fatoldman.co.uk
A veteran of NPF shows (all 1 of them!!), Fat Old Man will be returning this year with additional musicians to give a new slant on some old classics. Forum regulars will no doubt have seen Fat Old Man posting as ''black bobble''.
Fat Old Man can be heard performing ''On The Run'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 1: None Of Us Is Pink'' C.D. set, ''Waiting For The Worms'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 2: The Return of the Sons of Neptune'' C.D. set, and will also be heard performing ''Mathilda Mother'' on volume 3!
Barney Netherwood
Possibly the most prominent forum member of those peforming, you will have no doubt seen posts by his alias ''Norbert Wilkins'', the question is ''what on Earth is he going to do?''.
Barney Netherwood can be heard performing ''Is There Anybody Out There?'' and ''The Final Cut'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 1: None Of Us Is Pink'' C.D. set, ''Goodbye Blue Sky'' on the ''NPF Tribute Volume 2: The Return of the Sons of Neptune'' C.D. set, and will also be heard performing ''Lucifer Sam'' on volume 3, all under various dinosaur disguises!
Forum Collaboration
An almost random selection from the Floyd back catalogue dipping into just about every era, featuring forum members thrill-seeker, PublicImage and simpledumbpilot plus guests.
..and if thats not enough the music will be accompanied by lightshows and projections utilising 3 screens, including that all important circular one!
Altho the above bands do have 10 hours of Floyd material combined, the option is still available if other NPF members would like to take part, Im still hoping to persuade Jonesy's band, ''Nonbeliever'', to return after last years excellent headline slot.
We have an excellent team of technical staff working with us this year, and as luck would have it the head technician at the Komedia is a huge Floyd fan who not only knows what to expect but has been putting in ideas and working with the project, also he informs me that his technical staff have been arguing over who will work on the day as they are all enthusiastic to do it!
It is our intention to put together a 5 minute video tribute to Syd Barrett to be shown at the concert. The video will take the form of a collage set to a medley of Syd's songs that appear on the NPF tribute CDs. If you would like to send any messages, pictures, drawings or anything else that you would like to be included and projected on the screens at the shows please e-mail [email protected]. The completed video will also be made available for download on the NPF website.
Hopefully see you there folks!
A big thanks to Bran for designing the logo for this years show!
When i first heard Rolf on Kate Bushes new album i thought it was Roger.
