A new series of podcasts exploring the career of British progressive rock titans, Marillion, my favourite band, seen through the lens of my life growing up with them.
Part One takes us back to 1982-83, and the debut EP, Market Square Heroes, and the debut album, Script for a Jester's Tear.
I have been writing as Lazland for several years now, initially in journals, then on Prog Archives, but now running my own content at www.lazland.org, a site I am inordinately proud of. I fell in love with rock music at the tender age of twelve, and am passionate about promoting intelligent music of all genres, especially avoiding pigeonholing artists into narrow definitions and genres. Now, on Progzilla Radio, a new phase in my lifelong passion in bringing music to discerning people has begun, and I couldn’t be happier. Born in 1964, I am a career civil servant in the UK living in rural West Wales. I have dual citizenship of the UK and Malta, my paternal family coming from the lovely island. I am very happily married to the most beautiful lady in the world, and we have two sons, one of whom has seen King Crimson with his father.
