The Replacements - Also Eden and Pallas at the Peel
Tonight was a chance to check out some new prog talent as both Also Eden and Pallas have recently replaced their singers.
RIP Bo Hansson
My namesake Bo Hansson has passed away aged 67. This Swedish keyboardist was one of the pioneers of progressive rock music and many of you will be familiar with his "Lord of the Rings" album.
The Night of the Jumping Fish
Another cracking night at the Peel with two of the most entertaining bands at the moment; Tinyfish and Jump. In addition to my usual pictures there is a very amusing Tinyverse covering the gig as well. Enjoy.

Summer’s End 2009 Day Two Part One
Day 1 of Summer's End ended with yours truly seeing more of Glouchester than I had intended to. My sat nav was refusing to locate my hotel and I ended up having to find the M5 and then following my printed directions from there. Something which added an extra hour to my already late night. It did not help that the people in the next room having just retired from the bar decided to continue the partying for an additional hour.
6 Qs for Yogi Lang of RPWL
My favorite performance at Summer's End this year was German proggers RPWL. Yogi Lang answers my 6 Qs this time.
Summer's End 2009 Day One
I have to confess that I did not know what to expect from Summer's End. I am fairly new to the whole prog scene, you see. As a child of the 70s I missed out on the first wave of progressive bands like King Crimson, Yes and Genesis. It was only a couple of years ago when a colleague, who happened to play in a prog band, peeked my interest in exploring this genre of music. His band, Tinyfish, was due to play at Summer's End 2007, and he played me a couple of tracks of their Summer's End promotional cd. Since then I have been hooked. Thanks Rob.
The Tangent - Where are they now?
