This week we play early Queen and ask Is It Prog Or Is It Not? We take a break from the Now and Then feature as I have so much new music, including Exclusive World Premiere airplay for a new prog project from America with a stellar cast of guests. Plus new music from Frost*, Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks and Frant1c. My personal choice of music for this episode is from a classic Camel album and we have a brief look at Prog-Folk old and new. It’s all part of three hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock.

it’s all part of three hours of superb melodic and symphonic progressive rock which includes: Rush, Rosalie Cunningham, Kaipa, Steeleye Span, Carrie Martin, Dikajee, Be-Bop Deluxe, David Gilmour, Kite Parade, Genesis …. and many more!

Ken Slater

Ken Slater Born at the end of February 1957, I suppose you can say I am a child of the sixties. My musical journey started one night in 1970. I was visiting an Aunt when her son Keith came home from Walsall’s rock pub the Dirty Duck. He was slightly drunk (on barley wine) and for some reason, ravenously hungry. He asked me if I wanted to listen to some music and I said yes. He played me tracks from Led Zeppelin II, Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats and Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. I was so impressed that I woke up the next morning wearing a cheesecloth shirt, loon pants and my hair had grown past my shoulders!!!!! During the NWOBHM (1980-83) I was one of the DJ’s who compiled the weekly Heavy Metal charts for ‘Sounds’ music paper. I did this from a number of venues in the West Midlands. Member of the Production Team for Late Night Live on Cruise to the Edge. Member of the Production Team for Prog on the Ranch in Tampa, Florida. Until late 2023 and for eight years before, I was associate promotor of Prog concerts at the Robin Club, Bilston.
