Floyd stores remaining open; switching hosts

Posted October 4, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Contrary to what we published last week, the official Web stores of Pink Floyd, David Gilmour and Syd Barrett will remain open, though are moving to a different hosting company.

Last Thursday, Musictoday’s Clayton Avent informed participants in the company’s affiliate program that the stores were leaving Musictoday and “closing.”

Today, S2BN Entertainment’s Sara Israel clarified: “We are just in the process of switching companies that host the store. The store will most likely be re-launching in the next month with a new design.”
