Happy Sunday Everyone!

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

This week I play tribute to the late, great, Ken Hensley and take a look at the career of bass player, Nick Beggs. I’ll also introduce you all to the Chapman Stick, more of which in a subsequent show!

Have a great week!

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!

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

Hello and Welcome to the podcast of my radio show, broadcast here in the UK on 103 The Eye last evening. In this week’s show we take a look at some albums fromm the 1960s and 70s that I think formed the foundations of progressive rock.

Hope you all enjoy the music!
