Hello everyone – I’m back!!

After taking a week off , I found myself in the position of not wanting to upload last week’s show as a podcast. It just didn’t seem the right thing to do. Given that I record these shows primarily for 103 The Eye it may be 2 weeks before it gets posted as a podcast. So much changed in that time that I felt the overall tone of the show, whilst fine for the time it was broadcast on FM, was not totally appropriate for where we find ourselves now!

Hopefully this week’s podcast will help some of you while away a couple of hours if you’re self isolating or poorly, and hopefully will assist in taking your mind off what’s going on in the world.

So this week, I’m looking at the theme of money (rather than Coronavirus!!) and I’m intoducing a new feature called Axe Victim, where I take a look at the career of a particular guitarist – this week is John Mitchell. There’s also a selection of brand new music.

Now more than ever we need to show our support for these artists by buying their material, preferaby from sources as close to the artist as possible (direct from websites, from Bandcamp or from the record label.) Its great to use streaming services like Spotify but these pay a pittance to the artist.

I really hope you enjoy the show this week.

Above all, stay safe. Follow the social distancing advice or self isolate if necessary. If we don’t this will be a disaster from which we may never recover.

Look after yourselves and take care of each other.

I'm a musician and presenter of the Doorway Rock Show on 103 The Eye and Progzilla Radio. My show takes listeners on a journey through the very best Progressive Rock. It's a blend of old and new; showing how the classic artists of the 1970s have influenced the very best contemporary artists. I'm also proud to providee a platform for those artists to get their work exposed to a wider audience.
