Amazing live gigs are being held at Nikk Huet's 'Tribute Island' and the place was totally packed with people last night, I counted 76 avatars at one time (which is as much as most sims hold) and the atmosphere was electric! The artist, Mankind Tracer, (real life musician Seth Regan), was singing his own tribute to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett. Barrett, who died aged 60, was the former lead singer with Pink Floyd and Mankind performed a haunting melody of the groups most popular songs. Mankind's performance was slick and smooth and very easy going, his voice is clear and strong, and he did a great rendition of Barrett's hits with the group. 'Prim Perfect' the SL online Magazine and the Daily Mail and General Trust (DM&GT) on line, are sponsoring the live gigs at Tribute Island together with Radio Riel.
Mankind's gig was followed by a tribute DJ gig by Elrik Merlin of Radio Riel. By the time Elrik was playing his stuff everyone was up and dancing and really having a good time.

Nikk's 'Tribute Island is well worth a visit anyway, it's a lovely idea, the Memorial Park contains monuments and exhibits to honour and remember people who have died, including those in the UK Forces, Army, Navy and RAF. There are also tributes to Hollywood and British stars and many more for people from all walks of life. A lot of thought has gone into the memorabilia, there are movie and television scenes and lots of interesting places to explore on Tribute Island. As well as the Island, DM&GT have a website 'Lasting Tribute' in memory of people who have passed on, and where people can leave their own personal tribute to either famous people. or their own loved ones http://www.lastingtribute.co.uk/

Tribute Island is a place, not only to reflect and remember those who are no longer with us, but it's also a fun place to explore, with its interactive displays of great movies and television scenes. The live gigs are performed by the best musicians in SL, so be sure to check them out:
