I do not envy you, Huw. I have run a record label, I have spent six weeks on a park bench in Dumbarton being homeless and I have been living on frozen pizza's from Farmfoods. Not even ten angry, charging giant haggises can make me start a record label again.
......... Although I still shop at Farmfoods. 
There is around four Prog Archives Collabs in your area so if you need reviews, you know where to find us.
Btw. if you know anything about Sunday, please let us know. I visited Missing in Argyle Street three hours ago to find out anything more. Hopefully, you know something more.   
......... And I also believe your label office is within 3 miles from the ProgArchives Inquisitions HQ.

	Wow! Now that IS interesting...I had no idea they were alive and kicking! "Get your dog off me" - great stuff... I'm off for a rummage on the internet...look forward to the reviews.

	Beggar's Opera are actually active again - have 3 albums from them in my "to be reviewed" stack. All of them released this year :-)

	Maybe not renowned as a hot bed of prog, but Scotland still has its fair share of talent...it's just that most of them have moved out!! It's the weather... Personally, the biggest Scottish prog influence in my life has probably been the Gentle Giant lads (some of them originally from a sleepy wee town called Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, I think?). And does anyone remember Beggar's Opera? Hey, I'm showing my age....

	Reminds me of an old recurring SNL sketch with Mike Myers: "If it's not Scottish, it's crap!" By the way, my middle name is Scott and so's my wife's maiden name. Edited by Slartibartfast - October 12 2010 at 06:47
	Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

	Good advice - thanks! You're right; it's tough out there - I'm staggered by the number of artists worldwide who are still active or resurfacing after years of inactivity. We're going to take it slowly and the Porsches are definitely not on order yet...everyone involved has been around the prog scene for a while however so we're hoping to create some interest. The music's not bad either...

	Better note down the websites and mag(s) that you're going to send out promos to. The latter case of course being Classic Rock presents Prog, the former probably a good handful of well known places. Best of luck indeed, you're entering a tough and competitive marketplace.

	We're excited! Hoping to show that there is more in Scotland than just Pallas and Abel Ganz....the new ACH Media site will offer downloads and cd releases, and as well as the music there will be some interesting spoken word stuff too. It's all go for a January launch with the Comedy of Errors album first up - more soon...

	Advance news - a new Scottish label (ACH Media) is due to launch early 2011 in Scotland with three new albums on the way. Firstly, a new Comedy of Errors album (provisional title "Disobey" - ready to go to mastering at this time), followed by a release from Grand Tour (Hew Montgomery - ex Abel Ganz - new project) and then the debut album by Machinary, a Rush/Purple influenced trio. ACH Media website due on line before end of the year - more from [email protected]
