Introduction from Tony
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

WE ARE BACK!
Greetings all. Regular visitors know that our news section was closed for a number of weeks whilst we had a bit of a shakeout (and a break!)
Well WE ARE BACK. Bigger & better than ever and with a new site director.
It is my absolute pleasure to introduce to you our new site director Tony Rapata. Tony has been a die hard Floyd fan for many years and has an extensive Pink Floyd knowledge. Tony initially will be taking on the job of bringing you all the news. Tony will also be responsible for some of the GIVEAWAYS that can be won on this site throughout June.
I’m now going to hand over the site to Tony where I know it will be in safe & secure hands.
Peace
Col T

Before We Go On
Just before I re-launch the site with it’s new site director I wish to say a big THANK YOU to Liam Creedon our former site director.
Liam took over this role in 2016 and gave 7 years of his life keeping the site up to date. He covered many many aspects of the Pink Floyd world.
In all I estimate that Liam published just over 900 articles on this site, no mean feat. Unfortunately when his account was closed all the work he had done defaulted over to me. But make no mistake, any articles published between 2016 and April 2023 was Liam’s work and nobody can take that away from him.
All the best for your future Liam and THANK YOU.
Col T
