http://www.celebr8prog.com/Home.html Cracking festival last year and ideal as nearby Kingston has lost of food places :) This year Threshold and Arena headline with other bands including Frost*, Mystery (looking forward to them) and District 97.

It is very good, takes a wee while to sink in but very enjoyable and John West is in fine form.

Nice mix of metal and rock so far on these tests :) They have 'Moose' (one of the key people behind the new station) on the breakfast show and 'Dewsbury' in the afternoon, plus Nikcy Horne every weekday between 6pm and 9pm doing the Classic Rock Magazine. Many staff and DJ's have jumped ship from Real XS. Specialist shows could be good and they mirror their magazine output so AOR will featu

Great band and their earlier albums are well worth having. Looking forward to seeing them live in May at the Celebr8.2 festival.

1. Indiscreet 2. Tough It Out 3. Metropolis 4. Dead Mans Shoes Not got 'Rockville' yet, saving up for it and 'RII'. Never liked 'Takin' It To The Streets' or 'Aphrodisiac' albums much.

Great line-up - COS, Vega, Rage of Angels, Moritz, Coldspell and Rob Mancini alonr make it worth going.

Cracking album IMHO and the first one I have really heard by them. Reading Dave Ling's blog got me onto this band as he raved about this new album. http://getreadytorock.me.uk/blog/2013/01/10-qs-with-toschie-of-audrey-horne/

Immense! Highly recommended and they have penned so many catchy riffs and choruses.

Yes Iam with you Big Al on this one. Trying to like it but once a song is finished can't remember much about it! No real stand out songs.

Alice Cooper headlines the Thursday night at Croperdy on 8th August. Romeo's Daughter also appear on the bill that night. Friday night there is the Levellers and 10CC and Nik Kershaw on Saturday. Excellent festival if you like folk/folk rock/rock and I am sure Alice Cooper will prove a hit!

ASIA, featuring the original line-up of Geoff Downes (keyboards), Steve Howe (guitar), Carl Palmer (drums) and John Wetton (Lead Vocal, bass), has been forced to cancel the 30th Anniversary UK Tour due to drummer Carl Palmer coming down with a severe case of E. coli. Tickets are refundable from the point of purchase. A list of the cancelled dates are as follows Tavistock The Wharf (De

Gene the Werewolf is a top album, great fun to listen to. Be a good band for Firefest Friday to get the party started!

Rival Sons are average pub rock at best, if that's the future of rock 'n' roll were doomed ;) Tracer are very good though and deserve the recognition.

Agree an amazing listen and easily one of the albums of the year for me (okay it is a year old in the US). Good on Frontiers for picking this one up for a more general release.

Harem Scarem I'd doubt as all doing solo stuff now and perhaps a one-off reunion at Firefest would be a better bet? I think these rumours are in part stemming from a recent interview with Jim Peterik who hinted Pride Of Lions maybe touring with other Frontiers artists early next year. Surprised POL didn't end up on the HRH AOR bill. Very tough times touring wise although I was at the Wednes

Another fine release and I enjoyed this & I am not a big fan of the Eagles. Hope it does well and I am sure BBC Radio 2 will pick up on some of the songs as they are made for radio.

Not heard Tango Down but Bonrud is top draw! Highly recommended hard rock and not a duff song in sight :)

Fascinating insight into how he works and the respect he has from his peers. Tom Petty's garage has seen some classic names singing in it that's for sure!

Agreed as the MTB CD earlier this year was top draw. Sounds like a prog metal band going by their name though ;)

Good start :) Can't go wrong with Tesla, JSS & Danny Vaughn live. All the main UK AOR bods bar FM and I do hope they can add Little Angels. Just hope they keep in AOR/melodic rock and don't fill the bill with NWOBHM pub rock bands and crap like Viking Skull like they do at HRH.

Reformation after 25 years - Waysted? Terraplane?

Perhaps they should get WHSmith to sponsor the gig so they have enough pens to sign these contracts ;) I think the following bands will feature...Ten, Serpentine, Vega, Snakecharmer, Little Angels, Tigertailz, H.E.A.T. and hopefully a couple of US bands. Won't be bands the size of Journey or Foreigner that's for sure but be cool if they could persuade Survivor or Loverboy to come over.

In the light of Guilfest going bust after 22 years I hope they get a decent enough line-up as the prog line-up to date is hardly 'must see' and I am a big prog rock fan.

The Big Area album has been re-issued along with an obligatory best of for this tour. Great band and Mark Shaw I think has guested a few times in Spike Edney's SAS Band in recent years.
