 Hello and welcome to Episode 44 of the Doorway. This show was broadcast on 103 The Eye on 10th August here in the UK.

This week we take a long hard look at 1978, including tracks by Genesis, Dave Gilmour and the Moody Blues, ending with one of my favourite Rush tracks.

I also attempt something a bit different and take an in depth look at Camel’s wonderful concept album, “Music Inspired by The Snowgoose”, along with the book that its based upon.

Hope you all enjoy the show!!

Have a great week.

Hello everyone!

I’m back from a fabulous visit to Night of The Prog in Germany. This is the show that was broadcast here in the UK on 103 The Eye on Saturday night. This week we explore the music of 1977 including tracks by Yes, Barclay James Harvest and Genesis, finishing the Show with an epic track by Pink Floyd. By popular demand I have included a track list of all the music played on the show.

I’m taking a break this week, so there will be no radio show on Saturday, and therefore no podcast. This will give me an opportunity to write a review of NOTP on my blog instead.

Have a great week.

Hello everyone

Here is the podcast of the show first broadcast on 103 The Eye, here in the UK on Saturday. I must say it made a pleasant change to sit outside in the garden and listen to the show live, on a warm balmy evening, with a cool beer. Hope the neighbours are into prog too…..

The week’s show takes a side on look at 1974 and also features tracks from NOTP performers, OAK and FORS as well as the usual mix of old and new.

Enjoy and have a great week!
