Beyond the Horizon ready to Shine On at Solstice
Highly regarded Irish Pink Floyd tribute act, Beyond the Horizon, with a reputation for faithfully recreating the instrument and album sounds from the psychedelic, prog rock band's iconic back catalogue will play Solstice Arts Centre this Saturday where a limited number of tickets are still available.
'Played by genuine Pink Floyd fans for Pink Floyd fans' Beyond the Horizon sees seasoned musicians and singers come together for an electrifying live music experience playing theatres and festivals all over the country. The show has been getting hugely positive feedback and reviews from Pink Floyd fans and musicians alike. They played a sold out show in the Navan venue last year and also rocked The Venue in Ratoath.
Vocalist and drummer John Fitzsimons who also looks after publicity for the band says Beyond the Horizon's sound sequenced with stunning light and laser show "adds considerably to the live experience for its audiences.
Connection with true Pink Floyd fans is important too, says John. "We are the only Irish Pink Floyd Show that constantly engages with our social media platforms building support and friendships with fans of our show all over the country."
The band will be performing Pink Floyd classics such as 'Comfortably Numb' and Shine on You Crazy Diamond' alongside many other iconic favourites from the band's amazing back catalogue.
"We're really looking forward to Navan this Saturday," where John says BTH will be "playing songs from the psychedelia of the '60s right through to The Division Bell".
The current line-up is John Fitzsimons (drums/lead vocals), Paul Brennan (steel guitar/lead guitar/acoustic guitar), Giuliano Nistri (2nd lead/acoustic guitar), Brendan Doyle (sax/clarinet), Ciaran O'Brien (bass guitar/vocals). Lauren Murphy (vocals), Nicola Selak (vocals), Henrik Andersson (keyboards) with Brendan Reilly working as all-important sound engineer.
The current band carry some serious musical credentials too and are also members of Harvest-Neil Young Tribute/Cross Border Orchestra/RTE Orchestra/Accidents In The Workplace/The Last Waltz/Radio Mafia/Hendrix Experience and guest spot with many other touring Irish bands.
