Glenn ‘G’ Border
Lighting Designer
When he was 17 Glenn went on the road with his first band. He claims he is 107 now, so that makes him either really bad at maths, severely affected by Alzheimer’s, or a bloody liar. What is true, however, is that at 17 Glenn went on the road to learn the lighting trade. Some years later he has finally figured out what colour ‘blue’ is. From these humble beginnings in a ratty, buggered old Morris truck, along with seven other smelly individuals and $5.00 per week wages (for stamps to send letters home asking for money) he somehow managed to get where he is today. He still has no clue exactly where that is, but if he turns up for the show you will probably find him behind the lighting desk randomly pushing buttons in no particular order. The Pink Floyd Experience have managed to keep him with us and out of prison for over 20 years, despite his yearning to retire and start a miniature donkey breeding farm in Spain.
Dorus Hommels
Turned Sound Guy
Dorus is predominantly a sound guy in his other world. He came over to the dark side just for us! We picked him up soon after the Covid Lockdowns finished, when everyone was doing anything to get back on their feet.
A crew member bailed on us at the first show and Dorus was there being a legend as always so we nabbed him and took him with us. He has been on every tour so far and fits like a glove with the rest of the team. Dorus can run a crew like nobody else I’ve seen, helping to run the local crews and getting the job done along with our other legends Don and Coen.
Coen Rutledge
Lighting/Laser Technician, Followspot Operator & Trainee Blendmeister
Coen has been a gun-for-hire in the events industry since 2013, primarily working as a lighting technician and board operator… but like any seasoned roadie, he’s collected a suspicious number of extra skills along the way…
Since 2022, he’s been G’s sidekick on various shows including The Pink Floyd Experience. Under G’s highly questionable guidance, Coen has picked up a range of “bad habits” including the dark art of crafting the perfect Margarita! He can now summon a top-tier Margy in record time! Usually while fixing a lighting fault, holding a radio conversation, and telling you his full life story mid-pour.
When he’s not busy blending beverages to keep morale high, Coen is a Jack-of-all-trades on tour and essential to the lighting department. From coaxing stubborn lights back to life, unleashing the lasers and making sure the followspot actually lands on the correct band member at the right time, he handles it all with alarming efficiency, accuracy and minimal drink spillage!
Coen’s forward thinking and practical approach make him indispensable and very likeable! If you get the chance, do yourself a favour, try one of his margaritas. Just don’t ask what’s in it!
Rochelle Peters
Social Media Machine & Australian Marketing
Rochelle Peters is a huge part of our organisation and single handedly manages most of our social media machine and Australian marketing.
She tirelessly tries to answer every single question and comment while at the same time she is building this amazing community of PFE friends who are now meeting up before shows and attending sound checks etc.
Rochelle unfortunately didn’t stand a chance from day one. With her father, Daz, a founding member of PFE she was destined for some sort of unorthodox lifestyle, a penchant for Sultana Pasties and a job handling PFE’s social media.
A passionate Floyd devotee & a caring soul, the Pink Floyd Experience has been a part of her life for 22 years which makes her perfect for the job. She also doubles as our bouncer and security guard online and at shows. So don’t be late!
Reef Reid
Photo and Media Guy
Reef joined us at a couple of shows on our 2017 ‘Animals’ tour and has worked with us ever since. Reef creates images from every aspect of the tour. He also deals with the media for us.
An experienced event photographer, Reef specialises in ‘Live Music’. If you look closely, he can be seen creeping around popular venue stages and festivals, shooting local and international artists alike. When he isn’t photographing musicians, Reef also shoots sport, dance and everything else in between.
Don McCallum
‘The Don’
We don’t call him ‘The Don’ for nothing. Don has been a vital part of the Pink Floyd Experience family for many years. He has a never-ending list of skills to draw from but, most importantly, he gets the gear to the gigs safely and on time, and he makes sure nothing falls out of the roof.
We celebrate ‘Don’ day every year in appreciation for one show when the rest of the crew were fogged in at an airport and he basically put the whole lighting rig up on his own! When you look up the word ‘LEGEND’ in the dictionary you will find a smiling picture of Don, saving the day wherever he might be!
Craig Walsh
Video Director
Craig Walsh is a live video producer, visual storyteller, and the man responsible for pressing the right buttons at the right time… most of the time. He’s also the founder of Front Row Productions, based in Auckland.
With a background in broadcast television, Craig has worked on major productions with TVNZ, Sky, and independent documentaries and music videos. Wherever he goes, Craig is always focussed on creating the ultimate experience for his audience.
Specialising in live event visuals and multi-camera production, Craig brings a cinematic edge to the stage, blending pre-produced content with live camera work to make sure the audience sees every moment that matters. Along the way, he’s worked with names like Michael Jackson, The Wiggles, Silverchair, Shihad, Jimmy Barnes, and When The Cat’s Away… which makes for a very confusing Spotify playlist.
