This is great news...

RIP Tony Clarkin

https://blabbermouth.net/news/magnums-tony-clarkin-dead-at-77

You called it......

Unitopia at Summers End 2010 UK

I would have loved to have gotten to a NEARfest...

^^^ some great lists up there - 2023 for me, all UK;

Fusion Festival (various inc IQ) - Stourport on Severn
Lissie - St Lukes Glasgow
Jason Ringenberg - The Greystones Sheffield
Chuck Prophet -...

Enjoying this release in advance of seeing them live on Friday (in a brewery :-))

Although I do prefer their earlier Rachel fronted albums...

Looking forward to this - an immensely talented guy and brilliant live....

Wow! I didn't know that, having driven down the A24 many times....

OK Rush were incapable of making a bad album.

Like any band with such longevity, personal lists are likely to be influenced by your age/entry point.

Anything lower than Hold Your Fire? For me...

That was a very enjoyable and informative read, thank you.

Don't imagine Rammstein are mentioned around these parts very often.....

Yes, mine landed today also. I love the artwork and looking forward to giving it it's first spin. Good news (to me) that it continues the Love over Fear vibe.

Absolutely - I call these my Motorhead moments.....

That makes me feel really old - I have a lot of love for this album but I guess I'm one of the few.....

I accept this point entirely.

Most (including myself) would, of course, acknowledge Moving Pictures as being Rush's "best" album (for a number of reasons)

Posting here I should have been more...

I booked for a weekend (HRH (but not prog)) which was subsequently postponed and moved to another venue/city (100 miles away) with no refunds appearing to be offered for anyone who was not happy with...

For me also.

Although I had already heard Subdivisions on the Exit Stage left tour, as I headed back from the record store I had no idea what to expect from Signals. When I played it, it was...

Great! Looking forward to checking this out. Fantastic band and even better live...

Yes, me too - this is really good stuff..

Great interview, thanks for posting.

I'm a big fan of Guy and his work.

Marc Atkinson, the vocalist in Riversea has done a weekly live stream from day 1, latest is on now;

I did enjoy it, thanks - popping over to Burning Shed now :-)

Done

I like the sound of this - I will keep checking to see when you can ship physical CD to the UK - thanks

It was! Just at the time you were putting Panic Room together....

Good luck with the new project.

Thanks, Jonathan - will check this out for sure.

(P.S thanks again for the lift back to the hotel from the Anne-Marie Helder gig in Crewe. many many years ago now....!)

That's a great pic!

Hi - just bumping this up for anyone in the UK (in particular) who may have missed this. Along with his solo stuff (which is almost never played live) Marc also drops in a few decent covers.

As...

Sad news indeed - an extremely underrated talent and by all accounts really nice guy.

Having been a fan since the late 70's I only got to see them live for the first time a couple of years ago...

It is, indeed - excellent band, Sean Timms is supremely talented....

Great to see you confirmed for the Fusion Festival in the UK March 2021 - see you there....

Just done - for the first time.

Keep up the great work, best wishes from the UK...

For anyone interested - Tuesday's 8pm GMT - from his living room during social distancing measures..

A rare chance to hear Marc play a selection of...

And from me also - saw them last year at Fusion and was very impressed.

Will check this out.

That's a good point - back in the day, if you were sat in the first few rows you would be surrounded by fellow (genuine) fans who had joined the very early morning queue with you (often in the cold...

Front Row twice I think; Styx Manchester 2005, Kansas London 2014 - aside from smaller gigs when it's just been me and the dog..

He is also doing weekly live streams - 8pm Tuesday's (GMT) - clearly the acoustic gigs which provide Marc with a living have been paused temporarily.

I agree with the measures but like you say, where is the money coming from? Weren't we in a pickle anyway?

I need a doctor - you're employed

Well that's eminently sensible

Toilet paper hoarding does rather beg the question - for two weeks of self isolation, how many visits are they actually planning to make?.....

I'm sensing over here a bit of disquiet regarding this strategy and I think we can expect that U-turn early next week. I have today very reluctantly cancelled my plans to attend the Fusion Festival...

Me too, a horrible thought....

I think normally it is the guys from Red Bazar (another fantastic band that Peter fronts)

Tiger Moth Tales happen to be supporting Pendragon who I am seeing on Saturday night - what a great bill!!

Enjoying this, 4th listen in - wild and windy Morecambe next weekend!

Me too.....

Great band - Sadly only got to see them live as Bill Nelson's Red Noise

I'd actually forgotten how good that song is...

Well I didn't, but I do now and I'm liking it, so I am going to explore further...

John, as you are local - any further gigs planned?

Hope you had a great day - I share my birthday with Dolly Parton...

My response within the "Best 3 Album Stretch" thread got me thinking about how many of my most highly rated albums are so, simply because they happened to be my first exposure to a particular band. ...

Totally agree x 3 (including the controversial bit!)

No words, indeed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSIdpz7y79I

But I hope you all get everything you wish for....

I agree but I think that is typical of his general delivery - that said I didn't pick up much from his between song ramblings due to the poor sound (which may have been due to where I was sat (rear...

Absolutely!!

I saw them in Halifax (West Yorkshire, UK) last week and they were good - but not a patch on the Cadogan Hall shows a while back.

Vocals were somewhat lost in the mix, which was a...

For the record, England were fantastic at the festival - much much better than I was expecting after all these years

Why can't all interviews be this insightful - an excellent piece of work - thank you

Always loved his contribution to David Sylvian's Brilliant Trees - absolute quality

I think that was probably mine - unless you can count ELO "Out of the Blue"

Haken

Funny! Sounded like a great night

Many thanks
