prog cruises sound like so much fun... except for the part that has to do with being on a cruise ship. Good luck and sounds like it could be a helluva hoot. Shame we couldn't get those luminaries to Progday...safely on land..  |

Festival cruises are a music lover's utopia. But....there is nothing that compares to the shared experience of an outdoor progrockumentary movie screening after sunset... on a Prog Cruise! We are delighted to announce that our feature length documentary film "Romantic Warriors III - Canterbury Tales" will have a special free screening on one of the evenings (day to be confirmed) at the third annual “Cruise to the Edge” progressive rock cruise, which this year is featuring the band Yes and over two dozen other bands. Joining the filmmakers for a post-screening Q&A will be Pye Hastings of Caravan, and Leonardo Pavkovic, head of the Moonjune label, both of whom featured on the film, as well as Gary Green, former Gentle Giant guitarist, who participated in the first film of the Romantic Warriors Series, and possibly legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth, who was part of one of Soft Machine's memorable line ups. The cruise will sail November 15, 2015 from Miami. The other bands on the cruise marquee include Marillion, Spock’s Beard, Caravan, Saga, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Anglagard, Three Friends, Anathema, and Nektar, among other bands, and many individual artists who are well-known players in the prog-rock community including guitarists Allan Holdsworth (King Crimson, Soft Machine) and Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), and singer Casey MacPherson (Flying Colors). Upcoming Screenings - Romantic Warriors III - Canterbury Tales: Sat, September 5 - ProgDay, NC - free Rock In Opposition Festival (RIO) Screening with French subtitles http://www.rocktime.org/rio/index.php/en/ November 15-19 - Cruise to the Edge - free |

The Muffins were excellent yesterday evening, even if their set was a bit on the short side. Unfortunately, we left after their performance, as I was not feeling well. It's a pity that the bad weather (coupled with the heavy traffic due to the Preakness horse race in Baltimore) probably kept some people away from the Orion Studios.

Anyone in the Baltimore/DC area should not miss the screening of the film at the Orion Studios on May 16. The Muffins will be performing either before or after the film. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the show is expected to start at 7:00 (though the Orion is notorious for delays
 ). Tickets (cash only, at the door) are $20, and bringing your own small folding chairs is recommended (unless you want to stand or sit on the floor). |

First Review by Bruce Lee Gallanter:
www.progdocs.com ROMANTIC WARRIORS III - Canterbury Tales [DVD] (Zeitgeist Media; USA) Directed by Adele Schmidt & Jose Zegarra Holder; Two hours. An outstanding documentation/story about the Canterbury Scene! How did a small allegedly non-existent "scene" of perhaps a dozen musicians from the mid-sixties British town of Canterbury go on to influence several generations of musicians and fans from around the planet earth for so long and still resonate today fifty years later? This is/was an ambitious task and it is the third in a series of films that these two directors have done to explore and explain certain areas of progressive music that could use (y)our respect. The Canterbury scene started in the mid-sixties with the Wilde Flowers, mostly school friends from the Canterbury area, who by 1967/1968 split into two bands: Soft Machine and Caravan, two odd/pop/psych bands who had a number of similarities at the beginning of their careers. The original Softs featured Daevid Allen, Kevin Ayers, Mike Ratledge and Robert Wyatt, four very different creative musicians with distinctive and different personalties. Soft Machine recorded eleven albums between 1968 & 1976, the personnel changed on every record, so their sound was always in flux. Since a handful of key members of the CS have passed away over the past decade (Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, Steve Miller, Kevin Ayers, Pip Pyle and very recently Daevid Allen), there are dozens of interviews with many of the survivors: Daevid Allen (ever-enchanting, longtime leader of Gong speaks the most), Brian Hopper, Richard Sinclair, Roy Babbington, David Sinclair, Bill McCormick, Didier Mahlherbe, Phil Miller, Mont Campbell, Robert Wyatt, Chris Cutler... A number of Canterbury-related bands are mentioned as well: Egg, Matching Mole, Hatfield & the North, National Health, In Cahoots, various versions of Gong, Soft Works and Soft Machine Legacy. There is a large amount of rare footage of different eras of Soft Machine & Gong, Caravan, Hatfield and Softs Legacy, making this a deep treasure chest unending gems. The complex histories of many of these bands are unraveled as best as could be done, making this consistently compelling. About a third of this long film features interviews and live footage from the many bands worldwide who have been influenced by the Canterbury Scene from the time it started until today: Supersister, Moving Gelatine Plates, Forgas Band, the Wrong Object, the Muffins, Glass, Planeta Imaginario and Sid Arthur. A trio of Canterbury experts also get to make a number of their own points throughout: Americ Leroy (Calyx website, historian & liner notes writer), Leonardo Petrovic (head of Moonjune label) and yours truly (DMG founder & 1/2 century Canterbury devotee). There are a number of magical musicians here who give their own charming perspective and are quoted throughout: Daevid Allen, Didier Mahlherbe, Richard Sinclair, Phil Miller and David Sinclair, who closes this film with a poignant solo version of the Caravan classic "Nine Feet Underground". Bravo here to both directors who have done a marvelous job of capturing the spirit of something most elusive yet still so important to many of us who are long nourished by it. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG |

I think another awesome one would be all the groups east of the Berlin Wall that were basically breaking the law to play their music.

Excellent news for everyone who has been looking forward to this film! Earlier today I received the latest newsletter, informing me (and anyone else who has contributed to the project) that the film is finally complete, and the DVD will be released in early April. Watching the finished product will be a bittersweet experience, as Daevid Allen features prominently in the documentary.
