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.
