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

We start with a classic from Argent (full album version!), take a listen to the brand new album from The Tangent and take a couple of twists and turns along the way.
