The other side of Prog.

We publicised the importance of getting checked for prostate cancer last week. Here are three proggers taking not very seriously about a very serious topic.

With Mark Cunningham, Ken Black and me.

So Mark Cunningham the man behind Prog for Peart and Forgotten Gods has been working overtime whilst we were all enjoying his amazing lineup a couple of weekends ago!

Here’s where he is up to with next years fest. It’s brilliant that Mostly Autumn and Magenta will be headlining - and testament to the work that’s gone into establishing the festival’s brand.

Two very well liked and accomplished acts neither of whom I personally have seen before.

However, what I especially like about this lineup so far is the supporting cast - the prog world is a broad church and this is shaping up very nicely to demonstrate it!

…and I delighted to say that Mark has asked me back to compère the weekend again 🤟🏼

Tickets are available over at the PfP website and more announcements are pending!

I will be playing these acts on Signals with Scott McArthur

Let’s Prog!!

Nice little article about “Wha’s Like Us” festival by our journalist friend over on the Glasgow Apollo page, Russell Leadbetter.

I’m really looking forward to this event - a great group of progressive bands set to rock the brewery!

Made me wonder what we should call a collection of progressive bands?

I was really lucky to spend a couple of hours chewing the prog and whisky fat with Camel’s Colin Bass over the weekend.

A lovely man with a fascinating taste in music - who joined Polish band Amarok on stage for a few tunes. He has definitely still got it!

I know it’s dark, but you can just about see us in this attempt at a selfie!

Coming soon on Signals with Scott McArthur
