The Floyd Effect

The Floyd Effect’s 2024-2025 tour includes two complete albums: the whole of Animals plus a signature performance of Dark Side Of The Moon. Apart from taking a moment to turn the records over, both will be performed unbroken and completely unabridged, exactly as they were meant to be.

With a full light show and the band’s latest projections plus a few additional crowd-pleasers The Floyd Effect’s ‘Dark Animals’ tour promises to be its best yet.

The Floyd Effect is renowned for the remarkable accuracy with which it performs the music of Pink Floyd, and the band faithfully recreates the sound and intensity of a Pink Floyd concert without recourse to racks of computers and other technological wizardry. Each performance is a genuine
‘live’ event supported by a dramatic light show that incorporates the iconic circular screen together with two sets of projections that make it a powerful and emotional experience.

Sit back and enjoy The Floyd Effect as the band takes you on a journey through the most revered music ever written and performed by Pink Floyd. Unless you were there the first time around, it was never as real as this.

Far From the Madding Crowd

Capricious, independent and beautiful Bathsheba Everdene inherits and manages her uncle’s farm. She is courted by three infatuated suitors: an honest, loyal and capable shepherd; a womanising and charming Sergeant; and a lonely, wealthy farmer. Who will she choose? If any of them? She plays with all their hearts to devastating and dramatic effect.

Far from the Madding Crowd demonstrates live, vibrant theatre at its very best.

Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece about love, class and gender roles is set against the rural landscape of Victorian England and is thrillingly brought to life in a new adaptation by the acclaimed Conn Artists Theatre Company, performed by an ensemble cast accompanied by music and songs of the period.

“a riveting example of ensemble theatre at its very best.” ★★★★★

(The Argus on Silas Marner)

“strong, vivid and emotional story telling.” ★★★★

(Remote Goat on Silas Marner)

“Conn Artists has made regional theatre feel in ruder health overnight.” ★★★★

(The Stage on The Four Men)

Opening the show is Alistair Williams! Recently crowned the £10,001 British Comedian of the Year 2023, Alistair Williams is quite simply one of the finest comedians around.

He’s already become a regular at the UK’s most famous venues including The Comedy Store and Up the Creek and is constantly building an ever-growing international presence.

 

Unafraid of tackling rough subject matter, Williams is also a passionate health campaigner. Combining raw personal anecdotes with a jam-packed gag count and slick extroverted style, he creates bespoke comedy content to challenge the food and health industries, regularly grabbing the attention of leading megabrands. He believes real food can change your life, a narrative which is also the through the line of his 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Show. Smart, passionate, impressively quick-witted and bursting with infectious confidence, this is stand-up that grabs your attention and Alistair Williams is quickly solidifying his place as one of stand-up’s most exciting rising stars.

 

With the brilliant Peter Rethinasamy! Born and raised in Belfast to a Malaysian father and Irish mother, Peter is a comedian with hard hitting, punchy jokes and hilarious tales of growing up in Northern Ireland.

And last year he appeared in The Heist Before Christmas, alongside Timothy Spall, which was a movie made for Sky, directed by Edward Hall. Other recent credits include Ted Lasso (Apple TV), Apprentice: You’re Fired (BBC), short film Us & In Between, and Peter is soon to be seen in Changing Ends (ITV).
