Tipping The Hat: Pink Floyd: Mark Da Costa

Answered by: Mark Da Costa

Which act are you paying tribute to and why? Pink Floyd. Because they are an act with no boundaries and have timeless tunes that inspire and resonate with many.

What was their best period musically? Dark Side Of The Moon.

Your favourite song of theirs and why? Dogs Of War, because I got to sing it live and must admit I became emotionally involved once the song began each time. [The] song speaks of violent dictatorship and war.

Which album of theirs would you give to a newbie who had no idea about them to best represent them? Dark Side Of The Moon. It's Pink Floyd's "White Album".

When and where are your gigs giving them the nod? 27 & 28 May, The Basement; 3 Jun, Dee Why RSL; 4 Jun, Laycock Street Theatre, Gosford
