The Prog Mill 406 - 25 February 2024

Edition 406 of THE PROG MILL for Progzilla Radio (626 in total), first broadcast 25 February 2024, is now also available to listen to anytime or download. This week I'm joined by Jane Lee of The Progressive Aspect who reviews 'Himlabacken Vol 2' by Moon Safari, and our fun quickfire quiz invites you to identify five classic prog albums from 1980 by hearing just a few seconds of each. All part of two hours of amazing melodic and symphonic progressive rock.

Shaun Geraghty

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.
