THE music of rock legends Pink Floyd will be performed live in the region next month by one of the world's premiere tribute bands.

The Australian Pink Floyd visit the Customs House in South Shields on Sunday night, June 10.

With accurate renditions of the classic band's hits, such as Time, Breathe and Money, the band from Down Under are renowned across the world.

They formed as a part-time operation and, following a hugely successful Australian tour went full-time.

Customs House marketing manager Robin Byers said: "This is a major coup for the Customs House. The band have even been personally endorsed by Pink Floyd's guitarist David Gilmour, who invited them to appear at Floyd's End of the World Tour party a couple of years ago."

Tickets for the show cost £12.50 and are available from the box office on 0191-454 1234.
