Fink Ployd are widely regarded as the best Pink Floyd tribute act in the United Kingdom.
They were recently chosen by Rock Radio 106.1 FM, to appear at their birthday party celebrations at the Ritz theatre Manchester. The Monsters of Mock party, hailed by Rock Radio as featuring four of the countries finest Rock tribute bands, Fink Ployd, along with Rattle & Hum, The Rolling Clones and Limehouse Lizzy, brought the house down.
The spectacular Fink Ployd show is around two and a half hours of the inspiring music of the Rock juggernauts 'Pink Floyd' and includes classics such as Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, The Dark Side of The Moon in it's entirety, plus many more tracks from the legendary albums, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell.

With this statement in mind it would be very easy for the club to sit back and live off the memories of times gone by. This is definitely not the case as the club is as vibrant and relevant to the latest generation of musicians as in any time in its history. This has been brought about by continuous development and investment to enable it to continue with this bold boast for many years to come.
The club is equipped to a very high standard to enhance both the experience of the audience and also to enable the best environment for the countless bands and musicians who grace our stages. The club has two stages and due to the layout of the venue we can comfortably accommodate two shows simultaneously.
The front stage of the club is set under the famous arches that have provided the iconic images of the Beatles in the early 1960's. This area is now supplemented with a state of the art sound system to guarantee that everyone in the venue can experience fully the first class performance on offer. This area of the club is generally open to the public and has a wide variety of entertainment scheduled on every night of the week and throughout the day on the weekends.
The back room (Big Stage), is the largest area of the club and is used for ticketed gigs and private functions. The sound system is second to none, making the room ideal for signed bands on the touring circuit or our regular unsigned nights. Because of the layout of the room, it has the ability to provide an intimate setting for acoustically based bands but it is also the ideal setting for indie/rock based shows.
The Moses Gate has rapidly gained a great reputation in the Music Venue world. All major Tribute/Cover bands have & will perform this compact lively venue. The atmosphere is second to none! Doors 8.30pm - Band 9.00
