Season’s Greetings!

Here’s the podcast of last night’s FM radio show, broadcast last night here in the UK on 103 The Eye .

In this week’s show I play a Chrtistmas song that is so bad its wonderful!

There’s a medley of cover versions and a beautiful new track from Leprous, all rounded off by an epic from Karmakanic.

I hope you are able to salvage something from Christmas this year. The Doorway will be back on 103 The Eye at 2100 on Boxing Day with a review of the best releases of 2020.

Merry Xmas!

Happy Sunday!

This is the podcast of last night’s FM radio show, broadcast on 103 The Eye here in the UK.

I follow a trail of musicians and connections that starts with King Crimson in 1969 and ends with King Crimson in 2015. Every track in between is connected by a musician. I really hope you all enjoy the journey!

Next week is the last show of 2020 so there’s some festive fun as well as a look back on the musical year.

Have a great week.

The Doorway Remembers…..

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-tsqxv-f1a2c1

Here is the podcast of last night’s FM radio show, broadcast here in the UK on 103 The Eye. As this is Remembrance Sunday part of the show includes my own personal tribute to all those who serve to protect our Freedom.

I have also replaced the usual artwork for the show with another very poignant image of a ceramic installation by my hugely talented wife, Janet.

Back in 2014 she put created an exhibition of work commemorating the Centenary of The Great War. This is an photographic image of a very powerful ceramic installation called “Their Absence, Our Presence”.

Have a great week.

Happy Sunday Folks

Here’s the podcast of last night’s FM Radio show broadcast on 103 The Eye here in the UK.

My good friend Ken Hudson suggested that I explore the Famous Charisma Record Label , which I thought was a great idea, so all the “oldies” in the show are by artists that were signed to that iconic label.

As always the classic mix of old and new; just the job to while away a couple of hours of lockdown!

Listen out for the Rememberence Day special feature in next week’s Doorway.

Have a great week!

Happy Sunday Folks!

I hope my UK listeners enjoyed the extra hour in bed!

Here is the podcast of last night’s FM radio show, broadcast on FM on 103 The Eye, here in the UK.

At the suggestion of my regular listener Richard Pulley, I take a look at the early career of Drummer Bill Bruford. There are tracks from some of the very best contemporary albums and I continue my exploration of Weltschmerz, the finale album release from Fish, ending the show with an absolute classic by Swedish Band Karmakanic.

Stay safe and have a great week!

The Doorway Episode 100

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-usqac-efa931

Happy Sunday Folks

Here is my special 100th Edition of the show which I really hope you all enjoy. It was broadcast last evening at 2100 on FM by 103 The Eye here in the UK.

I have chosen some very special tracks for the show this time in what I truly hope is a showcase of the very best progressive rock, old and new.

I also pay my own tribute to Eddie Van Halen who has been so influential to many of the artists I play regularly on the show.

Here’s to the next 100……

Have a great week

Ian
