Formerly called ‘In The Flesh’, Any Colour You Like are an 11 piece Pink Floyd tribute act based in and around London.
The band, a brainchild of manager John Bigby, was formed in 1994, consisting of members of the London based band ‘Incubus’ (not to be confused with the American rock band from California). After some time as a 4 piece act, the band then expanded to 6 members, followed by a tour of venues around the south of England in 1996. In 1997, they went on to play 22 gigs across the country. The band continued on top form over the next 9 years, more than often filling venues and further expanding their line-up to 7 members. The band also played at Arsenal Football Club’s Highbury Stadium several times on match days before they moved to the Emirates.
Unfortunately, in 2006, June Steele, the wife of Alan Steele (keyboards) became severely ill, which eventually led to the slow dissolving of the band.
In December 2011, one month after the tragic death of June Steele, 2 of the original members (Alan and Ray Steele) decided it was time to reunite the band, this time focusing on playing for charity with the hope of donating all profit made to the Chelmsford based Farleigh’s Hospice, as a way to say thank you for all of the fantastic work and help that they had provided June and her family in her final days.
With the addition of new members, bringing the total number of members to 11, the newly re-named ‘Any Colour You Like’ continue to provide audiences around the south of England with their true-to-the-original, exciting and skilful performances of many of Pink Floyd’s greatest works as well as a stunning lighting and visual show.
The entire entourage of the band which consists of eleven musicians and ten crew pay their own expenses for gear, lighting, transport and ancillary costs so that the proceeds of the concerts can be donated to various different charities.
