I look upon my Earth
And feel the warmth
And know that it is good."
Only mad Proggers and Englishmen..... Wonderful #ProgWalk2025 along the Thames yesterday ending up at Battersea Power Station (where else?!)
#RandomSongs With this being the longest day, my thoughts have turned to all the great songs depicting summer in all its glories. This is to my mind the greatest. youtube.com/watch?v=6RUIeX6U…
Its always a total delight when an album completely catches me off guard and captures my heart.
@edensongtheband have done just that with their stunning Our Road To Dust. This, the title track, is simply glorious - as is the video.

One of the reasons why I enjoy Prog rock so much is the amount of research required to appreciate certain bands. @itsadequate are certainly one of them. progarchy.com/2025/04/20/pro…
Happy 75th birthday to the great prog legend Roger Hodgson. Dreamer will have a particular resonance for those who came out to see Lazuli last week - as well as it being the soundtrack song of my sixth form college common room 50 years ago in 1975. youtube.com/watch?v=9FASalIU…
Wishing all my amazing female friends a happy #InternationalWomensDay. Let's continue to inspire, empower and support each other.
Today sees the release of Karmakanic's elegant new album Transmutation. I had a chat with the equally elegant, always entertaining Jonas Reingold for @ProgMagazineUK to find out more about the amazing musicians who appear with him on it.
50 years ago today, I went to my first ever gig. Here are some of the highlights since. alisonscolumn.wordpress.com/…

@Brendoncare has launched a digital cafe in Otterbourne, near Winchester.
Their head of membership spoke to That's TV about the importance of helping its elderly members be digitally connected.
You don't have to go to the final Night of the Prog Festival to buy this.
It's available via @LazuliBand's website and will be officially launched on Saturday night in Lyon, France.
Great to see Martin Reijman's photos on the front and inside covers. #proudwife
Always lovely to interview truly innovative and original bands for @ProgMagazineUK. Thank you @EBBband for sharing your unique universe in our recent chat.

What is everyone reading at present? I am reading Jenni Murray's "A History of the World in 21 Women".
Really want to get hold of Andy Summers' memoir "One Train Later" having watched a brilliant doco about The Police a couple of nights ago.
The most magical band in the musical universe, @LazuliBand at @cavernliverpool. Pix by my husband Martin Reijman who loves photographing them.
Thank you @mrjamesob and host @EmmaKennedy for a cracking evening of conversation in Southampton.
