Cards on the table; despite advancing years and over 3 decades of gig going, I am more then capable of acting like an utter twat at a show. One such occasion was in 2011 when at the once inevitable Orange… Continue Reading →
This album was originally released in 2006, but did not get the publicity it deserved. It was my first exposure to this Andorran band, and it’s now a pleasure to immerse myself once more in this long and epic prog… Continue Reading →
