2024-04-10 19:46:19 +0000 UTCI listened to the entire program this afternoon at work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially Squeaking Feet! I'm going to listen to some more them right now.

2024-04-09 22:51:30 +0000 UTCI've now managed to watch the whole programme, really entertaining, and brought some new music to me. I'm going to see Solstice (for the first time in about 40 years)in a few weeks time, and looking forward to it. Saw them numerous times in the early 80s, supporting Marillion on a couple of occasions, and then in their own right...have a couple of cassette albums, and "Silent Dance" on vinyl...plus a host of memorabilia and press cuttings from their Neo-Prog heights. I was intrigued to see Ralph D on the board, good to see another Ralph on the roster! Keep up the good work everyone, this is such a positive group.

2024-04-03 21:12:17 +0000 UTCI have enjoyed this time of enlightenment, although I cannot report enjoyment of all of the music on offer, but then we are gathered here to give it all a go. It also reminded me that I have an original vinyl copy of the Synergy album, which I must look out to see if it troubled to mention Larry Fast up there with the titles.

2024-04-01 19:55:24 +0000 UTCAfter Solstice we heard Comedy Of Errors (headlining our alternative stage on Saturday) - glad people liked them too! Someone wondered what The Cause was about - so I asked Joe Cairney last night, and it's about the troubles in Northern Ireland. Here's his answer - hope it's useful to you... "Hi Trevor, The Cause was written in the mid 80’s and was all about the troubles on Northern Ireland as it was still a big issue at the time. It was re written for the Fanfare and Fantasy album with an added vocal section. The original title was The Rebel but it was changed to The Cause for the album." Cheers y'all !

2024-04-01 09:20:06 +0000 UTCGreat evening (yes I know I'm biased lol). I hope everyone loved Solstice and I'd love to see some featured on the channel one day. As I said last night, they've put that whole show out on Youtube if anyone is interested and of course those of you over here can see them live in the UK. We're really looking forward to having them play a long set (hour and a half) at NVRF this year, along with Caravan and Martin Turner Ex Wishbone Ash (to use the official name), all on Sunday so should be a great day. :)

2024-04-01 09:16:27 +0000 UTCWell done on choosing Hannah Peel. I saw her play the Mary Cassio album live with a brass band a few years back and it was astonishing, transporting and beautiful. I saw visions at the end.

2024-04-01 01:31:50 +0000 UTCReferring to Pete Atkin's song, he was composer and arranger to Clive James' lyrics, a partnership they formed at Cambridge University in England, creating a series of albums over decades. The music complements lyrics that range from the acerbic through the satirical to the romantic and the poignant. Pete Atkin was busy in radio production for the B.B.C. for many years, rising to more than one senior position for the Corporation. He is no mean lyricist himself and still performs occasionally. Clive James was a polymath: a journalist, film and literary critic, poet, novelist, chat show host and an innovative television producer. The songwriting persisted amidst these other facets. A number of their songs reflected upon music-making itself, such as Atkin's "The Original Original Honky Tonk Night Train Blues", or James' "The Wristwatch For A Drummer", "The Man Who Walked Toward The Music", "Sessionman's Blues", "National Steel", "Practical Man" et al. In short, nothing mainstream to see here. But do please take a look.
