GOING TO THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Leather bags shipped off for former Pink Floyd band member’s tour

In the latest Business-to-Business Department news, former Pink Floyd band member Roger Waters and his tour crew are now making use of their Roots leather bags.

Made in the Toronto Roots factory, 65 Athletic Bags were sent and received in Seattle on October 12, the last date of Waters’ Dark Side of the Moon Live tour.

The bags were made in African Tribe leather and come with the tour logo embossed.
Product Co-ordinator David Jackson contacted Ron Delsener, the man behind the concert bookings of Waters, Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Van Halen, to secure the order.

Graphic Designer Sean Vicary created the logo. This follows the custom leather bag order for Barbra Streisand’s North American tour.

Waters was the main songwriter, singer, and bass player for Pink Floyd for 20 years before embarking on a solo career.
