Its always a total delight when an album completely catches me off guard and captures my heart. @edensongtheband have done just that with their stunning Our Road To Dust. This, the title track, is simply glorious - as is the video. youtube.com/watch?v=6DaDlq0I…

Today sees the release of Karmakanic's elegant new album Transmutation. I had a chat with the equally elegant, always entertaining Jonas Reingold for @ProgMagazineUK to find out more about the amazing musicians who appear with him on it.

"Having the ability to reach out is incredibly vital for their wellbeing." @Brendoncare has launched a digital cafe in Otterbourne, near Winchester. Their head of membership spoke to That's TV about the importance of helping its elderly members be digitally connected.

You don't have to go to the final Night of the Prog Festival to buy this. It's available via @LazuliBand's website and will be officially launched on Saturday night in Lyon, France. Great to see Martin Reijman's photos on the front and inside covers. #proudwife

#WorldBookDay2024 What is everyone reading at present? I am reading Jenni Murray's "A History of the World in 21 Women". Really want to get hold of Andy Summers' memoir "One Train Later" having watched a brilliant doco about The Police a couple of nights ago.
