MUSIC PORN
Every month, without fail, my Prog magazine arrives through my letterbox, even during the darkest days of the pandemic. I probably speak for many when I say that Prog is such an important outlet for us. I am in my late 50s but feel like a pubescent teenager waiting for my musical Penthouse to arrive every month. Prog offers a perfect balance of old and new, for the older generation and the new generation just starting on their musical journey. A big thank you to Jerry and the people behind the scenes who don’t get credit, but make this all possible.

DAVID LONGDON
I am heartbroken to hear of the sudden death of Big Big Train singer/songwriter David Longdon. In recent years, David and the band had achieved so much success in winning awards among the prog community and in achieving artistic success, as evidenced by their upturn in album sales, attaining Top 40 sales of their latest album, Common Ground. The band were on a roll, with so many plans for the next album and tours of the UK and the USA.
