Scott McArthur

Prog

📣 This weeks timetable on

On this week's show, we look back on last weekend's charity show in Oxfordshire, "Prog For Peart", and feature music from the bands I thought shone like crazy diamonds - Malcolm Galloway and Buzz, Karmamoi, HamaSaari, including Red Bazar. I will also be discussing the DNA threads between some 80's pop and progressive music featuring David Sylvian, Talk Talk, The Blue Nile and Marillion. This week's inductee into the Prog Library, as suggested by Uncle Tom, is Pallas and the lyrical Ghostdancers. New music comes from Scotland's "The Sanctity of Crows". So grab a dram, put your headphones on and let this week's class begin.
