Scottish Pink Floyd keyboardist David Parsons is getting set to join the Australian Pink Floyd Show on the North American leg of their world tour. David, who joined the Scottish Floyd 5 years ago was delighted to get the call, but didn't make it public until rehearsals with the Aussies came to a close.
David will be covering a number of shows in the US as well as all Canadian shows later this year. "Anyone who knows me knows how much I enjoy playing these songs live, and to play on this scale is just mind blowing" says David. David initially met with the Aussies earlier this year in France where he experienced a week on the road with them. Having played a few songs on stage with them during sound checks, followed by rehearsals soon after, the band invited him to join them on part of their North America tour. As a massive Pink Floyd fan, David first saw the Australian Pink Floyd show at Glasgow's Pavilion in 2002. It was there that he first imagined playing in a Pink Floyd tribute. 15 Years later David was delighted to join the Scottish Pink Floyd and 20 years from initially seeing that very band perform live, he joins them this September! David will split his time between both bands and will only miss one show with the Scottish Floyd this year as a result. Scottish Floyd newcomer Paul Mitchell will take his place on keys for the Aberdeen show this year, but David hopes to continue performing alongside Paul going forward as the band continues to grow.
The Scottish Pink Floyd played Bathgate's Reconnect Regal Theatre on Saturday night to a sold out audience. Having previously played to a full house at both Glasgow's Ferry and Paisley's RocknRollas, Bathgate became the third sold out show in a row! This marks the last show that keyboardist David Parsons will play on his own, with second keyboardist Paul Mitchell joining the lineup for the next show in Larbert.
With the new light show taking shape and additional staging that you might find familiar appearing soon, the band's Larbert show at Dobbie Hall promises to be something special. Tickets for the Larbert show are on sale here
