Hi there, I’m Paul Thompson and I host the Friday Night Live Show. Originally from Buxton in Derbyshire I now live on a Houseboat on the Medway in Kent, so my show really does come to you from a boat that rocks…! My show is mainly a mixture of Neo, Melodic and Symphonic prog with an occasional helping of heavier stuff on the side. I got into prog through becoming a little disillusioned with Classic Rock and needing something more out of music. I am a big fan of the modern-day prog as a guitarist myself I tend towards guitar-based prog. I will always love Floyd, ELP, Camel, Genesis etc. but now they are joined by Riverside, Airbag, Gazpacho, Soen etc... Friday Night Live airs every Friday between 8pm to 10pm. There is also a repeat on Sunday mornings at 2am to 4am... Thanks to all who listen, it really is very much appreciated...
