Introduction from Tony

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 01/06/2023 by Tony R01/06/2023

Hi everyone,
I’d like to introduce myself! My name is Tony and I have been a part of AFG since 2006 just as a 16 year old boy I remember lurking the forums and being impressed by the fandom and taken in by the lovely community as one of their own. Pink Floyd has created many long lasting friendships and brought me so much joy for almost 20+ years. To say I love Pink Floyd would be an understatement.

I love all versions of the band and their solo careers. I fully support each and every member in their past and current endeavors and I aim to make AFG a family oriented and welcoming place for all fans and continue the good nature of the site in which Col founded since 1998. I am honored to have the privilege to be site director. I want to thank those who recommended me for the job, I love you dearly and I will not let anyone down. This is my passion and after all we are here to celebrate the legacy created by David, Nick, Roger, Rick and of course Syd. 

Thank you, my line is always open to everybody! and stay tuned for some exciting giveaways and interviews in the near future!! You’re going to love what we have in store.

Love,

Tony
