This is great NutterAlert (or may I call you Nutter for short? ). I guess the best night for those traveling a longer distance is a Saturday but at the moment, I don't know of any Saturday prog gigs on in the near future. Over and above a gig, we could all just as easily meet up on a pub at some point.

Just so you all know, the details of the gig on the 27th is on this thread:

So I have resigned myself to being content with this board, a couple of the online stations, and my 3 year old son who loves Neal Morse and Rush.


Jefmoret

That's interesting news about the progmeetup.com site and I shall investagate further. Thanks for that. I guess there will always be people who love different aspects of a common love, it's just a shame you guys didn't get on. At least you and your son love the same things (for now ).

The more the merrier Chopper, I suppose I might have to wear a red rose or carry a copy of The Times like they used to do in 60's spy movies so we can identify each-other

Maybe we could have a secret pass phrase like:

"Are you a Collins or a Gabriel fan?" to which the reply must be:
"Neither, Ray Wilson is my guy!" Then one of us punches the other in the face!

Does that sound okay?

I'm not around this Saturday but do tell us how it goes. Maybe threefates will be there (she's often in the UK for ELP and ELP related gigs).



We'll all have to post our pictures in the Rogues Gallery thread so we can recognise each other.

I'll post a review of the Greg Lake gig next week, it should be interesting. I've seen on his web site that his band has a guitarist and a bass player, so I'm not sure what Greg is doing (apart from presumably singing).

That's a good idea Chopper (I'll have to find a recent photo that won't scare some of the younger proggers who visit this site ).

I look forward to reading ther review of the Greg Lake gig. Maybe he'll tapdance while singing (I'd pay good money to see that!)

A 3 year old who likes Rush - blimey!

Oh, btw this web site doesn't seem to exist any more.

Met up with fellow archive member Phil to see The Syn play at the Marquee Club in London last night and they were well worth a look see (review to be posted in a short while)

A big thank you to Phil for pointing out this gig in the first place.

Sigod:

I'm a bit late in coming into this thread, but I'd like to add my support to your idea. It's a cracker! There must be a number of us clustered around London who could meet up with some regularity.

I shall make every effort to attend the Progs gig in Putney, it should be fun. Also -  I'll have to double check this -  but I think IQ are playing at the Mean Fiddler on the 10 of December, which IS a Saturday, if you or any fellow progger is interested.

Hello Simon, I was very glad you made it, I enjoyed meeting a fellow progger and it was a good evening! Look forward to meeting up with yourself and others in the future,
Cheers!

The IQ gig could be a good for me Blacksword. I'll check with the Supreme Overseer (my wife) that it isn't a day I promised her that we'd do something together like cure the common cold or construct a box girder bridge.

I know what you mean! What is it with women and wanting to undertake major engineering projects on prog days?!! No consideration...

A quick reminder to those who wish to participate;

I still intend to visit the Half Moon in Putney (that's South London to you guv) this Sunday (the 27th), to see The Progs play and in the spirit of all that has been said in this thread, I intend to treat this possible meeting of great minds with the utmost seriousness and solemnity...

...as a result, I shall be in the bar of The Half Moon from 7.00pm onwards and in order for any fellow prog archive member who might wander down to identify me, I shall be the gentleman wearing a sombrero (no really).

The things I do for Prog.

The Progs
 Sunday, November 27 at 8:00 PM

The Progs are a tribute to the golden age of progressive rock, playing faithful renderings of the very best songs from the greatest bands of the era - Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Camel and others including the occasional rarity. Where else could you see 'Firth of Fifth', 'Starship Trooper', 'Karn Evil 9' and 'Comfortably Numb' in one evening! The Progs are: Shaun Hunt - Bass, Guitars, Bass pedals, vocals Doug Melbourne - Keyboards, vocals Mark Foster - Lead vocals, guitar, percussion Neil Marshall – Drums, percussion Mark Nixon - Lead guitar
£4.00



Er...ahem, that's not me. It's just an example of what a sombrero looks like.

Mate that sounds like a cracking idea, if you were to plan it more I may be up for it.

Me and my mates do that sort of thing but on a more low, mately, local kinda level where we go 2 gigs or sit rounfd each others houses listenin to prog with a beer and sum nibbles. lol

Prog is music for the mind

Another meeting with two more members of this illustrious forum (namley Blacksword and Syzygy). Had a great night at the Half Moon and a combimed review of The Progs is on the way.

As for future get togethers, Blacksword and I look forward to seeing any other Prog Archive members at the up and coming IQ gig at the Mean Fiddler (Charing Cross Road) in London on Sat 10th December.

You have been warned.

A splendid evening was had by all, and many thanks to Sigod for coming up with the idea

Keep yer minces peeled for up and coming shows in and around the Smoke, and watch this space.

Remember, the first rule of prog club is ... ummm ... Sigod, what was the first rule again?
'Like so many of you
I've got my doubts about how much to contribute
to the already rich among us...'
