Podcast - The Prog Mill Remembrance Special "Lillies of the Dead" - 10 November 2019

The PROG MILL Remembrance Special "Lillies of the Dead" (edition 183 for Progzilla Radio and 403 in total), compiled by Leo Trimming of The Progressive Aspect for the Prog Mill and first broadcast 10 November, is now also available to stream on demand or download as a mp3 file. It is highly recommended that you make time to listen to the whole two hours in one go, and a warning, you may find some of it quite emotional. This week's show features voices from World War 1 soldiers and their families mixed with a selection of progressive rock tracks associated with war and in particular WW1.

Here's The Playlist but the music is only half of what the show is all about. Listen to the voices and how cleverly Leo has weaved it together.

Shaun has been a radio presenter since 1982, starting in pirate radio broadcasting across Europe from an aerial strung between trees in the forests of Staffordshire. Soon after, he became a regular presenter and member of the management team at Hospital Radio Stafford, staying there for 32 years and receiving long service awards. Shaun also worked extensively in local community radio in Staffordshire on several stations including Stafford FM, Stone FM, Chase FM and Smart Radio. When Stafford Radio, an online community radio station started broadcasting from a 220 year old windmill in 2011, Shaun began presenting 'The Prog Mill' (the name inspired by the station's unique base). Stafford Radio became Windmill Radio before closing in 2016, when 'The Prog Mill' became part of Progzilla Radio. The Prog Mill leans towards the melodic and symphonic side of progressive rock, and includes regular album reviews from our friends at The Progressive Aspect, CD Giveaways, and a regular fun quickfire quiz.
