AN AIR OF PERFECTION
Thank you for the years of pleasure you have given me with your magazine. Is it possible to write a piece about Curved Air? This band started in the 70s and made some terrific albums but don’t see them often in your magazine with exception of album reviews. I think they deserve the limelight because they meant so much for progressive music.
Further of interest is their first keyboard/guitar player Francis Monkman. He went on to form Sky and after that he made a couple of solo albums but seems to have vanished. Could you possibly look into the band’s history and their important members?

We’ve written a fair bit about both Curved Air and Sky over the years, Hans, and will obviously continue to do so. – Ed.
DON’T GIVE UP!
I last saw Peter Gabriel at the O2 Arena in London in 2013 – it was a fantastic concert – so when a tour in 2023 was announced, I knew I had to go.
I found a good seat online (not the silly priced platinum ones) and the booking was going fine until I reached the delivery of tickets page. That’s when I discovered that the tickets have to “live on your phone” [within an app], which isn’t possible on mine. Why should I miss out on concerts because of me not having a good enough phone?
