Just been on www.brain-damage.co.uk and come across this:

With the band's headquarters in Melbourne promising to deliver "the biggest, most spectacular show ever," we know that many of you are eagerly looking forward to the Australian Pink Floyd Show's forthcoming UK tour which starts on April 2nd in Brighton.

Over the last fifteen years, the band's following has grown at an incredible rate, resulting in sell-out shows all over. The 2008 show will receive an even more lavish production, with more lasers, more lights, more complex projections and even better inflatables!

And in the latest Brain Damage competition, we're giving away a pair of tickets to the show of your choice, a copy of their latest DVD "Live At The Royal Albert Hall", and some DVD and CD samplers.

To be in with a chance of winning one of these great prizes, courtesy of the band's promoters CMP Entertainment, you need to answer the following question correctly:

    * The band played at the first two Brain Damage international fan conventions, way back in 1993 and 1994. The first of these conventions took place at "the home of legends" Wembley - you need to tell us whereabouts Wembley is!

The band are playing in fourteen countries across the entire European continent this year, and whilst in the UK, they'll be taking in a pair of nights at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London, the venue where David Gilmour himself marvelled at the accuracy of their show: "It's so strange to watch such an eerily accurate version of yourself perform live on a stage! They do the Floyd thing so well, but still manage to put their own stamp of humour in there. Very funny!"

Thanks for the info! 

The good news is that the visual aspect of the show is being upgraded again - I must admit I worried just a wee bit that with this tour focussing on The Wall, the lights & lasers etc may not have have been as great as before.

On a negative note - when will some people realise that Dublin isn't part of the UK?  :

I'm sure they didn't mean to offend and being an Irishman myself I can understand your comment. Looking forward to the show there mind you, never been to the RDS Arena.

Hi GG
I wasn't really offended!  ;D
Haven't been to the RDS myself, but my wife saw U2 there many moons ago on the Zoo TV tour, said it was a good venue.
Maybe see you there?
