Steve Hackett & Steve Rothery – The Roaring Waves

2025’s release of Gentō by Steve Rothery’s other recent side project, Bioscope, with Alex Reeves and Torsten Quaeschning, was an ambient/electronic/cinematic masterpiece that gave emphasis to how versatile and experimental he can be outside of his day-job with Marillion. The…

RematriNation – ᎠᏌᏃ ᎩᎦᎨ (The Red Dress)

Eighteen seconds into ᎠᏌᏃ ᎩᎦᎨ (The Red Dress), something vaguely familiar catches your attention. A sound you feel you know: a voice, a flute, definitely something human, but gone before you can actually put your finger on it. It returns…

Jethro Tull – J-Tull Dot Com: Another Cast Of The Net

Sir Steven Wilson (surely he should have been knighted by now for services to music?) did a brilliant job resurrecting and repackaging Jethro Tull’s classic albums, the ones that made us fans fall in love with them, but bowed out…

Prog For Peart 2026

Abingdon United Football Club, Oxfordshire 16th July to 18th July 2026 The mighty Mark Cunningham, a man (mostly) exuding an exterior calm while controlling a thousand-and-one things fighting for attention beneath the surface, has produced yet another feat of organisation…

Nektar

Tally Ho Theater, Leesburg, Virginia Friday, 7 August 2026 I had no idea when I wrote my 9th article about Nektar just two months ago that my 10th would be a live concert review. In fact, I only just found…

Eric Johnson

Kiki Dee & Carmelo Luggeri

St George’s Venue, Hartlepool Friday, 5 June 2026 There are some artists that are part of our lives but more in the background of our minds than forever in our consciousness. Maybe you heard their hits long ago, still recognise…

Quill

Music and Arts Centre, Barnoldswick Saturday, 30 May 2026 Firstly, before I do the review I think I need add a bit of texture to the day and also to demonstrate that I am not afraid to laugh at myself…

Beat

Eventim Apollo Hammersmith, London Monday, 8 June 2026 I think it’s a fair assumption that, when Robert Fripp was putting together the last version of King Crimson, Adrian Belew might have been disappointed not to be involved. Crimson’s numerous tours…

Hedvig Mollestad Trio

Poppodium Boerderij, Zoetermeer [NL] Sunday, 22 May 2026 I had never heard of the Hedvig Mollestad Trio (HM3), but the description alone — an instrumental collision of jazz, prog‑metal, psychedelia, and stoner rock was enough to pique my curiosity. The…
