Prog-Watch 343 - The Psychedelic Special

This week we've got a special feature on a very fascinating time in the history of music. More specifically, we're looking at the Psychedelic period in the mid-to-late 1960s. This was a very creative and fertile time in which established bands such as the Beatles, the Who, the Moody Blues, and Cream figured prominently. It also saw the arrival of important nascent talents such as Pink Floyd and the young Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood, David Bowie, Steve Howe, and Chris Squire, to name but a few. We'll hear from all of these and more on the Prog-Watch Psychedelic 60s Special! So come along for a fun ride...it'll be groovy, baby!As always, send questions, suggestions or comments to progsquatch@gmail.com.

Big Big Train won big big kudos at this year's Prog Awards, being named Band Of The Year and honored as the Best Live Event!

Prog-Watch 336 - Elaine Samuels of Kindred Spirit

This week's show is a bit of a departure for Prog-Watch! We chat with the lovely Elaine Samuels of Kindred Spirit, which could probably best be described as a Progressive Folk band. We talk about the band, exploding drummers (a la Spinal Tap), the giants of British Folk (Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, and Lindisfarne) and the tribulations of being a band that doesn't easily fit into one particular genre. Of course, lots of great Kindred Spirit music will be interspersed in between the chat!As always, send questions, suggestions or comments to progsquatch@gmail.com.
