P-Floyd wins Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd Cover Contest

Posted July 9, 2018 by Floydian Slip

P-Floyd, a Pink Floyd tribute band from Dalarna, Sweden, has won our 8th Annual Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd Cover Contest.

The group took the prize with its lounge-styled recording of “Shine on You Crazy Diamond.”

Formed in 1993 by guitarist Jan Stumsner, the group has sold-out concert halls in Sweden and Scandinavia. Its 2016 shows at Dalhalla earned the band “Live Act of the Year” at the Dalecarlia Music Awards.

This past week, P-Floyd had their winning entry played on “Floydian Slip” episode #1160 — a special episode of our weekly Floyd radio show that was devoted entirely to other bands’ recordings of Floyd music.

The group also receives $200 in merchandise from the official webstore of Pink Floyd, shop.pinkfloyd.com.

Thanks to everyone who submitted entries to this year’s contest. We had an impressive and diverse collection of tracks to choose from.

Watch for details on our 9th annual contest, announcing in Spring 2019.

Nick Mason to be special guest on “Floydian Slip”

Posted June 21, 2018 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer and founding member Nick Mason will join host Craig Bailey on an upcoming “Floydian Slip.”

Mason will appear on an episode of the show that’ll air in late August.

Last Tuesday, we announced Warner Music will reissue Mason’s three solo albums as a box set called “Unattended Luggage” on Aug. 31. (See “Nick Mason box set coming Aug. 31.”)

He begins a 21-date tour of Scandinavia and Europe on Sept. 2 with his group Saucerful of Secrets, playing vintage Floyd.

Mason’s the only member of Floyd to have appeared on each of the band’s albums.

He previously appeared on “Floydian Slip” program #970 in November 2014. You can hear that interview and read a transcript online.

We’ll announce a specific air date in August.
